The Suzuki T125 was a 125cc two stroke street motorcycle manufactured by Suzuki from 1967 through 1971 in differing variants.

1967

The 1967 version was a complete street version with low swept exhaust, street fenders, street handlebars and seat. It was a totally different bike from the T125 Stinger, introduced a couple of years later. Unlike the Stinger, styled like a competition bike, the original T125 looked more like the other bikes of the Suzuki T series, the Suzuki T20 Super Six (X6 Hustler) being the most famous of them.

1969 T125 Stinger

The T125 Stinger was introduced for 1969 and looked very sporty with its slim fuel tank and high-drawn exhaust pipes. Unfortunately the Stinger wasn't as fast on the track as it looked. Especially the brakes and the soft suspension were not as good as some other 125cc bikes from the period.

The export model, T125 Stinger, had a different fuel tank that the Japanese domestic model, called Suzuki T125 Wolf. The Suzuki T90 Wolf, apparently only available in Japan, had similar tank to the exported T125 Stinger.
