I have the chance to buy a 1985 suzuki alt 125. It runs and ridea good but the back plastic missing and the headlight is busted. It has brand new duro mud and sand tires and a perfect seat. I can get it i know for 300$ maybe 250$. What do yall think good buy or not. I ve heard there really hard to get parts for

Great little machine! LT 125 fenders will fit it,,but still will take some looking to find them. For $200-$250,I'd prolly pull the trigger. Obviously check all the bearings,brakes,cables,etc,,,to find other things for him to consider lowering his price,and for you to be aware of how much it REALLY needs! Good luck!

It only has back brakes no place for front brakes is that normal? Runs great but is gonna need a plug it has an gmf exhaist on it prolly boight year back bery powerful for a 125 would eat my honda 125 alive. It has a front rack but no back rack which i though was odd. It will need steering stem bearing but the rest appear to be good and the fork arent bent. I know thay a problem on the trikes with no suspension.

great bike but dont run regular gas through it cz they have primers with rubber diaframs in them and r really hard to find replacment parts.
i know cz thats what happened to me with mine. the reverse gear is a really nice feature.

Great Bike, lil tanks.. I've had mine (185) since new, and she still running like a top. I'll take that front rack if you want to help the fund the back fender purchase. let me know, if need any help

I will let ya know if i need help. Im sure i will be wanting to make improvements. The front rack will prolly stay i thought it was weird to have a front rack and no back rack.

I had one years back bought it as a beater and kept it that way, never failed once and was abused to hell and back always started always ran and would go all day long without a hickup, I would say one of hte better 125s made only problem as the front end pushes a little when turing I would say go for it
