Suzuki TS80X model history
1984—1987

I have tried to tell the Suzuki TS 80 X 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.

I know very little about this model. Apparently it was sold on the West German and French markets. According to the German authorities the engine was 7 kW strong and the bike was good for 80 km/h maximum speed. Georg Leinfelder was kind enough to send some pictures of his bike (see below). It was manufactured in 1983 but officially the model year was introduced as a 1984 year's model. It was manufactured until 1987. Georg has a manual, he mailed me a copy of the page with the specifications of the bike.
