I'm looking to tap the kiwi biker infinite pool of wisdom here. What year and model is this bike? The owner says it's a 185. It looks mid 70's.
Does it qualify as a Vintage MX?
Any other information would be useful.
Cheers.

What is the engine and frame number?

I could be wrong (again), but it looks like a Suzuki TS185. Although the frame/seat/tank does look very Kawasaki ish.

That would probably explain the Suzuki badge on the motorI vote TS185 as well

Maybe the forks are ER185, as is the front guard for sure....but yeah...doesn't look like a Suzuki frame.That would probably explain the Suzuki badge on the motor
Forum whore
pretty sure i can make out suzuki on the engine cover too but ki is the same ending for both names iinit
Forum whore
Forks and frame look like they are TS185 to me. The tank looks to be from the 77 model and differs to earlier models

Que?
The green paint was probably an attempt at gaining extra horsepower seeing as everyone knows Kawasakis are faster than Suzukis.
Don't forget to bring a towel
Looks a lot different to my 1973 TS185.
