1974 Suzuki TC185 vs. TS185

I put this short video together to highlight the differences between tc185’s and Ts’s.

[@suespony]

I had the same ts 185 back in 1976, bought it used, drive it to school, rode it all the time. Wish I had it back today

[@Jimmyzb36]

Still got the TS185! It's a treasure.

[@Quantalume]

I remember seeing those TS185's in the dealer showrooms. I lusted after one as a teen.

[@markkimball1569]

Nice bikes I’ll take em ! 😂. Friends mom had the ts my friend had a tc 125. Always ran like a dream.

[@larrynorsworthy8582]

[@Erics-project]

Thanks for sharing tony. Your right, they are brilliant little bikes. Glad to hear I’m not the only one to enjoy them old Suzukis make good memories.

I have a 1974 ts 400 in very good shape what kind of ignition would it have it once in a while will kick back and send me over the seat when it's warmed up

[@Erics-project]

@@timothyscott6365 I believe the ts400 has a cdi. You may be able to retard the spark by turning your stator plate. I know that the TM400 was one of the first Suzukis with a cdi and the early one did the same thing when starting, and they could be very difficult to ride.

[@johnnovak9982]

My brother had a blue one awesome

[@Erics-project]

They are super fun bikes! I’m amazed by how many people had one or knew someone who had one.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

I thought in these years the pipe went low then came up at about a 45 degree angle with a short length at the end running horizonal.

[@Erics-project]

The 100’s and 125, had pipes like you described.

[@scottbailey1629]

Are either of the 185s still available? Prices?

[@Erics-project]

The TS (silver one) is still available. It’s $1700 and it’s located in Hartville Ohio 44632.

[@Erics-project]

Here is a video of the TS kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3OcaaCuiL6fprcsi=zaMtqCOA8iWcUHXG

[@phoenixarizona8441]

The TS is more like a Dt175

[@johnnovak9982]

How much

[@Erics-project]

They have both been sold.
