Suzuki TS185
Hi there I found this thread a very interesting read as I've just brought myself a brand new Suzuki TS185ERC. I live in Mexico and the bike is still available here it cost me about $2500 (US). I'm 44 and haven't ridden a bike since I was 18, but so far so good and I'm very pleased with the bike around the city and off road. You can see some pictures of the bike here:

As you can see the bike comes with a 13 Litre steel tank as standard so I guess this part is still available if anyone wanted to increase the tank size of an older model. I have one question about the top speed. I have just run mine in (1000 miles) and opened it up I can't get it to go above 7000 rpm in 5th gear (unless going down hill or with a tail wind) this gives a top speed of about 110kmph or 66mph. I've read in this forum that the ts185 should have a top speed of 75mph any idea why it won't go above 7000rpm in top gear.
Regards
