Info: One FAST 125 back in those days! It was ported a bit and set up for racing the deserts of SoCal. It had no troubles keeping up with my riding buddy''s Bultaco 370 Frontera up to ~75mph, where the Bul could finally pull it by a few mph.

Info: Bought new in June 1977 from Orange County Suzuki. Got transferred from CA to VA in late July. Rode it home to WA, then across the US to VA. In Sept, I was transferred to NC and made several trips to GA. A ''friend'' stole it from me in March 1978 when he went AWOL - while I was stuck aboard a ship.

Info: Quick, agile, light and fun! Can you say WEEE LEEE? :D I knew you could. It was bikes like this that people started with to make their own sportbikes back in the days before the factories would do it for us.
