    I am officially Hooked !!! Got My 3rd trike today

    Another one saved from Clevelands weather. On Clevelands Craigslist for $50. As far as I can tell so far it is a 1983 Suzuki ALT 125. If anyone knows different, please let me know. Do you think it was worth $50. Trans shifts, and engine turns well. Everything is there, its been sitting outside for 5 years.Also if you know a good source for parts, please let me know.....Thanks.....Vince

    NICE!!

    That soooo much reminds me of the style/colors of my 81 RM125 and 82 RM250.

    ya, that looks real nice for 50 bucks, those suzuki trikes are kind of rare compared to everything else, might be hard to find parts for, but it doesnt look like you need much. Just a good going through. good luck

    Very nice trike for $50. Just a good soapy bath will make it look 100% better. If three trikes is hooked, what is it when you have twenty running ones?

    THEY HAVE a funky little fuel pump you may have to replace with an aftermarket one, and the little primer on the side of the carb is probably not working, a shot of engine start into the airbox got mine going everytime then it would run all day long non stop. It was one of the best little trikes Ive owned.

    Fuel pump....

    I started to work on this finally. Freezing in my garage. (out of kerosene!) I was wondering how to tell if the fuel pump in the rear on the tank is good. I have cleaned the carb and got a spark on it now. But before I start pulling my brains out trying to keep it running I want to make sure this pump is going to work. If it doesn't where would one find an aftermarket pump. Thanks.....Vince

    Think about it, you can't even get a couple of good pizza's now-a-days for 50 bucks. Sweet catch.

    Great find and an unbeatable price...(well it was close enough to free )

    A friend I grew up riding with had an ALT 125 that he rode a few sets of tires off of. It took a lickin' and kept on ticking. If he couldn't hurt one bad enough to junk it, they get my vote as a tough little ride.
