Does anyone know what kind of bike this is??? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

misty24 · 02-23-2004, 06:47 PM

I'm new to bikes and I found this one in my back yard. I'm thinking about disassembling it and fixing it up a little so I can ride it. I know it's a TS125, but I'm not sure what year. Does anyone know what year it is and where I can find any info on these bikes? I found this number on the side if it helps: TS1252-174789.

Any info would be great. Thanks!

I would guess it's a mid 70's bike, you can probably find a repair manual on the web from one of the manufacturers. Good luck.

Hi Misty,

The '74 & '75 versions didn't have pictures, so I went with the '76 model, as I had the picture to compare against that you posted.

Found it in your back garden? Lucky!

Regards
Dwayne
