Introduced in 1973 as the Challenger with a distinctive Aspen Yellow paint scheme, the Suzuki TM125 was ‘built to take on the country.’ One year later, the TM125L was released, with a new fuel tank design of yellow/green instead of yellow/blue, to complement the 20 horsepower (or 17.5 with the silencer), two-stroke engine.

In ’74 Suzuki also revised the suspension by improving the fork travel and rear shocks. This upgrade had it landing jumps softer than its competitors, the Honda CR125, Kawasaki KX125, and Yamaha YZ125.
