Suzonda 117.5cc 1967ish.

[Silly Old Man]

I got a late sixties B120 with an engine and a late sixties k125 without an engine... both Suzuki's, and the B120 I haven't decided exactly what to do with but the k125 is going to get a Honda CT110 engine. That'll make it a Suzonda or Honzuki and the Suzonda appeals so that's what it'll be and the 117.5 is simply halfway between 125 and 110... though it maybe that it should be 113 as the suzuki was 123 and the 110 was 103.


Looks like it'll go in and line up without too much grief, oh, that's right, I will actually use the b120 gas tank on the k125 frame as it's such a lovely ugly I just can't help myself. The other thing is the original front guard dropped right down to almost on the wheel looks neato too.

Now I actually got the engine I'll be doing stuff so this will be updated well regularish.

Actually this is some photos from earlier that kinda show what's on my mind.
So it's got quite a nice stance but it needs to be lower.
My intial idea was to cut the frame in the two places above and add sections in and I'll do that for the front but I think for the back I'll just cut down the shock shaft and rethread them then get so springs wound that are shorter and a wee bit harder... that'll get the tire deeper into the guard and with the section added at the front orient the motor much lower.

Cool as


I think somebody needs to build one of these

It's bin a while, give me a chance to warm up. Got a look at a '69 90cc suzi wolf today... beautiful, hopefully swap + cash some for my '62 Jonsered 85cc chainsaw. I'm old and at the moment I love the tiny's. That one above id be pretty twisty in the bends, looks good though.


It's missing the tank so it'd be fun to do a replica... even longer and skinnier, brazed steel!

They're a cool old toy. I got a DR250 motor off a chap who had a 125 sitting in his garage which he would not sell me I'd love one!

[Silly Old Man]

Through a bunch of research I finally found out what the other bike is I got with this k125 is... I thought it was a B120 but it turns out it's an S32. And where I got them from the old fellow has kept me hoping after telling me theres another old chap across the road who has a bunch of rusties, big Jappers, down the back of his property by the creek so it look's like I'll be building more covered space to eventually get that bunch of relics stored.

So nothings complete and really worth restoration which I like as I'm a fan of it when others do it but not overly concerned myself and prefer having a ton of bit's to play with and swap about rather than ensuring that particular bit of chrome is from the right year!

But your pic of the Honda has sparked my imagination and this other s32 frame might actually suit something in that direction, a bigger vertical single or twin of roughly 200ish cc's, maybe Honda 175's of some description, in a cafe racerish config...but without this modern big front tyres look.... ohh yucky poo poo!

Gotta actually do some fabrication though, waffling on about ideas could keep me busy forever so it might be an idea to actually do something before all the 4 words poster start getting on my ass!

My photos were too big and I got told off so I'll resize them and do it again. Sorry.
