    My Return to 2 wheels. A 1982 GS125.

    It's been almost 10 years since I've been on 2 wheels. This little beauty came up Cheap an hr away so I bit the bullet and bought it.

    She has her issues, missing a side cover, damaged seat, pod filter on it so it runs horribly and a Mikuni slide carb that I can't find any specs on.

    I know the carb issues should be sorted with a return to the standard air box if I can find one.

    Plans are to tidy it up and ride it to work. Get it Mickey mouse on a Mini mouse budget and probably on sell it or swap it for another bigger project bike.

    It's a nice distraction in my life at the moment.

        Same amount of fun at half the speed.
        A steadfast refusal to throttle down makes life exciting.

          I remember seeing one c.1976 shiny and looking brand new. From a distance it had all the styling of a full bike but when I walked closer it took longer to get bigger than a full size bike.
          Beautiful commuter for congested stop and go traffic and super easy on fuel.

              GS125 in 1976??? ... Suzukicycles.org says, The first GS125, introduced in 1982, was a peach of a motorcycle, with 14HP and a 10,000 rpm single cyl. eng.... The model info., here at The GSR says they were manufactured from 1979 through 1985. I've seen no info. on a Suzuki GS125 prior to 1982.

                I restored a 1972 Honda CL100 a couple of years ago and used it during the summer months as a commuter to and from work, and thoroughly enjoy riding it. So much fun and boy does it receive attention at gas stops, more then my GS1000S actually..everyone has a story about something similar in their lives..
