Property of a deceased's estate
1973 Suzuki 125cc Stinger
Registration no. BMJ 83L (see text)
Frame no. T125-120712
Engine no. 123514
In 1969 Suzuki replaced its existing T200-based 125cc T125 twin with the sensational all-new T125 Stinger. The Stinger's engine layout was a new one for Suzuki, featuring almost-horizontal cylinders and downdraft carburettors, while the upswept exhaust system's slender protruding end-cans suggested insect aggression and gave the model its evocative name. Built in unit with the five-speed gearbox, the engine was housed in a tubular spine frame equipped with conventional cycle parts. Producing 15.1bhp and weighing a mere 211lbs, the Stinger possessed class-leading performance and proved capable of humbling larger machines over twisty going. There was also a 90cc version produced for two seasons only. Unique in the Suzuki model range, the T125 Stinger remained in production until 1973 when it was replaced for '74 by the more conventional GT125. Today the model is one of the most collectible and sought-after of classic Suzukis.

Last taxed to 30th June 1989, this Stinger was purchased some time ago by the late owner and will require recommissioning/restoration before returning to the road. No prior history is known. Although the Suzuki displays the registration 'BMJ 35L', that number is no longer allocated to this motorcycle and thus it is sold unregistered. Offered with one key and an old-style V5.
