Well, It's on two wheels, I have to straddle it, and can probably kill myself if I'm not carefull, so i think it might just scrape in there..:2thumbsup Hi, I've had this bike for a few weeks now and it is my first. and it is freakin choice! Although when i park outside Deluxe Cafe (work) it does pretend to be a triumph....

Yeap it sure is a motor bike, and plenty on here race them.
Welcome to the jungle by the way.
Nothing wrong with your little ride at all.
Enjoy it and keep it maintained, it will serve you well.
Dont be afraid of going long distance with it, it may not be fast, but it will be relyable.

I had one of those - my first bike. Bent, but I didn't know it at the time. As reliable as a hammer...
I might still have the original Suzuki workshop manual somewhere.

You may or may not be aware that the B120's immediate predecessor was called the B100P (even though its engine capacity was 120 cc). As a result, the B100P and B120 were often called the Bloop. Or so I recall, but I can't find any authoritative backing for this theory on the Web.
A real motorbike? Hmmm, two wheels, motor, not a scooter. Yep.

Welcome and keep the shiney side up and the rubber on the road.

If KB had a "Cool Wall" that would have to be at the top! They're a genuine classic! Keep it forever, or if not, give me first option...

yep first bike, cost $998 brand new , loved it rode from Blenheim to Kaikoura a few times never missed a beat.
Sold it when i lost my licence while riding it with my brother on the back 90KM in a 80kmh zone (she was fast) and he stood up on the back footpeg to impress a girl.
Cops called it dangerous driving (i am to blame being the "driver")
9 month loss of licence and $200 fine:(
i am much more well behaved on the busa.

Welcome Herman,
is a B120 a bike? Hell yeh, I had one of the original B series family a K10 80cc the 120's little sibling, reliable, served me well for many miles. Kept it as the 'back up' to a couple of Brit 'small CC' bikes for some time. Look after itmand it'll be like a wee dog, always there!
Oh and welcome to the Mad House
