[marpin]

hi. good morning. I'm new to the forum. my name is martin and I am in Argentina. I have a suzuki TF 125 model 1993. recently purchased. The had a friend. in Argentina is a rare bike. there are only three in Argentina. do not have much information on the bike. I do not have the user manual. or the maintenance manual. the bike is pretty good. has 9000 kilometers. tires are the originals. and I think it is missing. The only odd thing. is the front fender. is different than other bikes I've seen. Internet. but it seems an original piece of suzuki. I put some pictures to see my cake two wheels. a greeting.

Welcome Martin,
You need to buy the other two bikes so you have them all haa haa, if not for the spare parts.

can be. Today I went to parts store. I was difficult to obtain 6-volt lamps. here are all 12-volt motorcycles. if I start so I do not want to imagine what will get a piston. jaja

Yeah welcome to Kiwibiker Martin, you bike looks in pretty good shape for a 17 year old farm hack.
Well they are used on farms mostly here in NZ.

Known here as the Mudbug. Been around since the 70s. I think it replaced the TC125, which was a 4 speed with hi-lo ratio gearbox.

Your english is pretty good Marpin.

Thanks for posting some nice pics of your bike.

I'm sure you'll find lots of help here for any mechanical problems that you might have. In the meantime, here's a good quote for you "ride it like you stole it!".

thanks for the welcome. I found this forum looking for info on my bike. excuse my English. I am using the google translator. now I have three bikes: a l Kawasaki KLR 650 model 92. a Honda biz 105 2008. and Suzuki tf. when can I put pictures of the bikes. In Argentina the bikes are very expensive. a Yamaha R6 2010 costs about $ 20,000 dollars . many taxes to import to my country. 120% of the price. basic salary is 500 dollars. (80% of the population has that salary). the suzuki tf buy it for around 2000 dollars. Like many bikes here. is a country very fond of motorcycles and cars. Dakar here when the people go crazy. I have three friends who go to England every year at the TT on the Isle of Man.

Hola Martin ,

the KLR600 is a good bike to get around Argentina. I have travelled to Argentina twice now and you have some great roads for motorcycling. I've travelled about 14,000 kms around the country and still have more to do. Ridingi BA is crazy !

Do you watch El Garage , if so you might have seen a program with some tourists riding with a tour guide from BA to Ushia and back. Myself and one other from New Zealand in that program.
