I had a 1980 XL 80 when I was 10yrs old. Almost 36 years ago. Absolutely mint everything worked, lights, blinkers everything. Completely road/register ready. Of course I was running it through the trails, railroad tracks and sand pits so the first time I dumped it wiped out the blinkers. But it was the bike that started my love for moto. Bullet proof engine. Chalk it up to another bike I should have never sold.

Man that’s like the 3rd exact bike I owned back in the day that you’ve posted, love it. I spent some good years on that bike growing up in SW Washington.

XL185 and XL200 are such a sweet size. That'XL185s what I traded my 1980 KTM 250 for back in the day....needed a work ride.

I am curious. Which bike do you like better: 1) the Suzuki TS185 or 2) the Honda XL185? Which is the better performer?
