1973 SUZUKI TC90

[@keithwrighton8737]

I delivered pizzas on one of these when I was 17 in 1975. It got 90 MPG

[@derekjlight]

This is the bike I learned to ride on when I was 10 years old. I swear that thing was bulletproof.

[@jeffmcbride469]

This is beautiful. I had one in the same color and year as a kid. So cool to see this.

[@jkrash55]

Had a 1970. Ran the hell out of it. Burned a hole in the piston and pulled the cylinder off replaced it and ran it for at least another year. Great bike.

[@russetwolf13]

Funny, did the same just three months ago.a lot harder to get a piston these days.

[@gogogeedus]

Not my first bike but I would say the first decent usable dirt bike I owned or at least share owned with my brothers. we literally road the paint off that thing,Suzuki quality.magic! seeing this bike like that is like having a time machine and going back to 1975

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Bought a KE 100 Kawasaki and my best friend had a TC 90, road them to school and to work after school. Just so much fun.

[@earl6969]

I used to help my buddy throw his paper route on one of those right before I shipped out in 74...too cool. Set the bags on the rack and rolled them around like a bandolier. *Lefty Thanks for the memory flashback kap!🇺🇸😎👍

[@waltwynn-sandiegonorthcoun8475]

They were very reliable!

[@Leatherbark]

Lord that brings back memories. Dad bought me one in 1972. It cost $425. I remember it sputtered badly and didn't run very good at all until I backed the carburetor air screw way out and dropped the needle all the way down and that cured my carburetor problems. I probably learned that from dirt bike magazine.

[@connorssmallengines6663]

Probably was adjusted and jetted in Japan before coming to America, different air pressure and temp

[@douglasbagshaw807]

I had one when I was 17 best time of my life

[@willroberts9626]

i’m 17 and i’m working on one right now

[@Leatherbark]

The TC 90 gear ratios . 4th gear in low range was the same ratio as 2nd gear in high range.

[@xucer5360]

Love the old bikes

[@mikeschoolcraft21]

My first bike in 1975, Granbury Texas. Mine was yellow.

[@MrBrown-br7sh]

My very first bike was a TC 90. For years I thought it was orange but when I had to take the gas tank off I learned it was actually a very sun-faded red.

[@jacklfirth]

i always thought they were orange! will have to check closer now. thanks for sharing

[@grandcrappy]

Great lil camping or mess around bike.

[@prediecan7878]

This bike is in my grandmother's house im currently trying to get it out to hopefully restore it

[@shawnbaker7701]

Cool bike! I had a 1970 tc 90 was a hand me down from my Sister I was 9. She bought it from Saddleback Suzuki brand new rode it allot up at Saddleback Park got a new 77 RM125 B both were fantastic motorcycles.

[@imnowhacko]

That looks like a 1972 model, going by the paint/graphics. I have the same bike, all original down to the tires, but mine only has 306 miles.

[@bangingears5911]

You’re absolutely right, I have 4 of these bikes and this is 100% a 1972, it was just probably built in 12/1972, which led them to believe it was a 73 model year. A 73 model year was not produced in these bikes, though.

[@pattiboychannel311]

Lovely bike, brings back memories

[@emilyheasman2916]

My first bike

[@waltwynn-sandiegonorthcoun8475]

I remember the dual setting shifter.

[@2wheelsgene171]

My first bike!

[@truth1253]

Beautiful bike sound and everything

[@charlescalder1184]

I own that same bike. Where can I find a headlamp? If one is not available, how can I convert it to 12 volt?

[@Superflight777ge]

What a beaut, must be a hoot to drive.

[@harrywilliamson9575]

I just completely refurbished a 1971 bike with 10000miles on it. It's now better condition than this bike but still nice to see others running

[@bangingears5911]

I have two of probably the nicest tc90s left in the world. A 71 and 72 that are all original and in incredible condition with 1776 and 2150 miles respectively. The problem with your bike is that it’s restored, they are only original once.

[@wistonmendez2856]

Soy de Costa Rica y tuve una suzuki de estas duplicada fue algo increíble mi primer moto aun conservo el filtro de aire y la palanca de duplicación fué por los años 90s y el modelo era como 79.

[@davidmcmanus4751]

There's a co-worker of mine that's selling one to me as soon as I get my tax return. It looks as beautiful as this one does. Same color and all. The only issues with it, he said, was that it needs to have a good carb clean and it doesn't have a title. Neither of those are an issue for me. I've just restored a 1976 Honda CB 125S and just had it titled, so that's good for trade or sale. Got a guy ready to trade me a 250cc scooter for it. The Suzuki, I think is a far better bike, being 2T, and a much better price, $100. I paid $300 for the Honda, but spent a whole year buying parts all around the world to put it back together. The Suzuki is all-original, don't need to buy a damn thing for it. Can't wait to get out and ride it.

[@danlachappelle]

My first real mini cycle, after a brigs and Stratton was a brand new Suzuki trail hopper 50 same color and everything, I was 11 years old in 1973! , then Suzuki goucho 50 , the " TC 185" YES, then tm 125 racing bike then Honda scrambler 175 , then Honda CR 400 then a Suzuki 550GL , then Honda Transalp, Kawasaki KLR 650 then 1986 BMW K100RS , then Triumph Tiger 900 (the new one) then 1999 Harley Davidson Roadking Clasic, then 04 HD Roadking Custom, then Back to a 2006 BMW K1200lt . and at age 57 , thinking of the next one!

[@357beebop]

Keep it up. I've got a similar bike. Not as cherry though

[@DogMania]

What did it sell for do you recall?

[@Creekbyrd]

My first bike was an orange version .. road in sand pit and trails endlessly .. the only real issues was the carb being on side for rotary valve caused sand and dirt to get in and make throttle stick

[@lastup4170]

Well, your killing me. I just saw the video on the 1989 RMX, the same model I raced for years. Now you have a TC 90.... The first real dirt bike I owned. Stop!

[@davidgunter7162]

Just like my 1972 great little bike

[@bangingears5911]

This one is a 1972, they were just mistaken because the bill date was December 1972 leading them to believe it was a 73 model year. A 73 model year was not produced for this bike.

[@anwarhusainibinarbain5957]

Is it suitable for a long road distance?

[@Виннипух-у3ц]

Хороший мотак! Где не проедет - можно перенести)

[@addisonfiler7630]

Is this for sale?

[@papatorr3669]

How much did this sell for?

[@edwardgolonka-jd4sc]

Like Captain moped

[@kalemathews1899]

What would one with 289 miles be worth?

[@bangingears5911]

All depends on condition, condition is everything. If it’s titled with that mileage in perfect condition, it’s worth north of 6000

[@kalemathews1899]

@@bangingears5911 looks about like this one, has a title. Not mine though sadly

[@bangingears5911]

@@kalemathews1899 right on, yeah, I have four of these and probably two of the nicest left in the country.

[@budmatto9205]

It is a 1972, not a 73.

[@leerjet18]

Thats a 1972.

I had this exact bike, the same color. One of the most unreliable bikes I owned as a kid, it broke down every other week!

[@samwiggins1555]

My very first bike brand new been riding since what a great addiction

That bike is a 1972 not a 73.
