| My first bike was a '73 TS125 Duster. I was going to upgrade to the 185, but instead went street for awhile. That's a 2-stroke bike. It made nice power, is a good enduro machine & isn't heavy. Parts may be a problem. And you won't make very many friends with the blue smoke coming out the back! |

| I have an old TS185, which is not too far off a TC. Same engine anyway. The 185 hauls *** and will eat a late model xr250. Its easy to get a bit more power from these engines with carb/airbox and exhaust mods.
