The 1971 Suzuki TS185, also known as the Sierra, was the debut year for one of the most successful dual-sport motorcycles in history. Known for being ‘bulletproof’ and lighter than its 125cc sibling, it offered a power-to-weight ratio that made it a favourite for both trail riding and city commuting.
This bike is offered as part of the Adam White collection and has been in long term dry storage and has had the fuel drained. The bikes in the collection have been regularly taken out and started up but they will need a degree of re-commissioning and attention to batteries. Obviously having been long term stored things like tyres and brakes will need looking at prior to any road use.
The ideal resto project or a quick recommission to get straight out on the trails! We have the NOVA ready to register in the UK. The bike appears to be complete and original. Having been brought over from Colorado several years ago and dry stored ever since, the fuel tank is very clean inside. A 55 year old with just 4,661 miles! There is some fun to be had with this one, whichever direction is taken with it.
