The 1981 Suzuki TS125 Dual Sport motorcycle is powered by a 123 cc 2-stroke cycle, air-cooled engine.

The TS125 was introduced for the Japanese home market in December 1970. It had 13 bhp, five speeds and high-drawn exhaust pipe. It also had a sister model, a trail version called TC-125 (Prospector in USA) with dual-range gearbox with eight speeds, luggage rack and higher mounted front mud guard that made the bike more suitable for terrain. The TC trail series were built from 90 to 250 cc but the whole model series was discontinued in the seventies.
