Like all the Japanese manufacturers, Suzuki recognised the importance of the North American 'off-road' market and began offering appropriate models in the mid-1960s, commencing with modified roadsters before developing more specialised models. Suzuki first used the 'TS' designation of an off-road model in 1970, this being the TS90. Soon there were TS models in a wide range of capacities, the TS185 being a new introduction for 1971. The newcomer was modelled on the existing TS250, to which it bore a strong resemblance, the only obvious differences being a smaller fuel tank and rear tyre. The 185cc single-cylinder two-stroke engine developed 17.5bhp and came with five gears in the 'box, making the 217lb TS185 a lively performer. The TS185 would prove to be extremely popular model, remaining on the Suzuki range for the next seven years before bowing out at the end of 1977.
A lovely example of the marque, this TS185 was purchased by the current vendor in 2014 and has formed part of his collection since. Used sparingly since purchase along the Cornish lanes, it will require the usual safety checks and recommissioning before use. Offered with a V5C and expired MoT.
