I went back to the homestead this weekend to help Mom clean out our old shop and brought my high school motorcycle back. It is a 1974 Suzuki TC125 Prospector. The TC model has a two speed gear box which gives it decent power in low range for hill climbing, but also ca get up to about 65 MpH for road travel. Not bad for 13 hp.
It ran when parked 35 years ago (kind of). Except the kick lever was broken off and the rear sprocket would pop off if you gave it too much gas. So far I have already spent $100 in parts, and haven’t bought the new rear hub or wheel I need. Another project that I will spend more than it’s worth. Not what level I will take it too yet. I will clean it up first, then start resealing the engine and transmission. We will see.
