When did the Suzuki TS250 trail bike come out?
The Suzuki TS250 missed the start of the trail bike revolution, but only by a hairsbreadth, the Yamaha DT1 pipped all to the post when it emerged in 1968.
What was the chassis number of the 1975 ts250m?
1975 TS250M – chassis number TS2502-86770 With a new model in the wings the TS remained virtually unchanged At 109kgs this was the lightest of the TS easily recognisable thanks to its black engine casings and the clutch actuator arm is moved to the far right of the engine out of the way of the chain run. Alloy wheel rims are also added.
Is the Suzuki TS250 too heavy for the road?
As the type developed from its basic late 60’s origins it became softer and easier to live with on the road. This is true of its nearest rival the Yamaha DT250, yet another machine far too heavy for any real dirty work and certainly more at home chugging around the urban jungle.
Which is better Yamaha DT1 or Suzuki TS250?
In practice however the DT1 was a good deal lighter, and with it, faster too, attributes that made it the better bike for off road riding, especially when the Yamaha factory kit was added, making the DT a superb choice for the amateur motocross rider.

What did the 1973 MZ TS 250 look like?
In my opinion it does look like an “Ersatzauto”, honest to its mission. For 1973 this model was updated to MZ TS 250 when it received a parallel tube frame with a long travel telescopic fork, no doubt to make it look more modern vis-a-vis Japanese bikes. It made 19 DIN hp at 5700 to 5900 rpm and 2,5 kpm torque at 4800 to 5000 rpm.
