Suzuki TS80/TS80ER
1981—1981

I have tried to tell the Suzuki TS 80 (TS 80 ER) model history on this page, as I know it. The page is still under construction. I would be grateful of any contributions — sales brochures, magazine ads, magazine articles, pictures, specs, facts, corrections etc. Please scan the material in JPEG format (large enough that all the details are visible) and send them to me. Please tell me the source and the publication date if possible. If you send me pictures of your own bike, please follow these instructions.

Suzuki TS80 was a very short-lived motorcyle model. As far as I know, it was available only as a 1981 year's model. The 80cc 2-stroke 1-cylinder enduro bike TS-80 was introduced for the Japanese home market in April 1981. In some countries, the model was marketed as TS80ER. The TS80 was aimed to fill the gap after the discontinued TS90. Its 79cc engine used a power reed valve to produce a maximum output of 9.4 hp, almost the same as its larger sibling. It had reliable PEI ignition that gave more stable output at any speed. The TS80 had 5-speed transmission, a lightweight and durable semi-double cradle frame, and the box-type light alloy swingarm. The same engine was used in other 80cc Suzuki models, the GN80/GT80L and the RG80E/X3.
