 1990 Suzuki GN125 With Only 467 Original Miles 

Museum-Quality & Made in Japan

This bike is in as-new showroom condition with just 467 original miles, 

Quite honestly, this is about as close as you’ll ever get to a brand-new GN125 without opening the crate yourself.

After riding this bike, it’s easy to understand why the Suzuki GN125 became one of the most popular motorcycles ever sold in Latin America — literally hundreds of thousands of them. So many, in fact, that the design has been reverse-engineered and copied and is still being sold today.

Close to 100 MPG

There are many GN125s with 100,000–200,000 miles still running strong with regular maintenance. 

These bikes are absolutely bulletproof.

MADE IN JAPAN – MAY 1990

This is an original Made-in-Japan Suzuki, with a May 1990 date code. The quality of the materials, chrome, and finishes on these Japanese-built bikes is noticeably superior to the later copies.

The paint alone deserves its own paragraph:

It’s a stunning classic — elegant, simple, and timeless — and it truly looks like it just rolled out of the dealership.

🏛️ THE ROY THACKER COLLECTION

Roy Thacker preserved his motorcycles like royalty. This GN125 spent decades in a clean, dry, high-end museum-type environment, and it shows everywhere you look.

This one? A true museum piece.

This is a bone-stock, 100% original Suzuki GN125 with one tasteful upgrade:

Everything else is original:

 we went through it properly:

It starts easily, runs flawlessly, sounds like a new bike, and rides exactly the way it should.

⛽ RIDICULOUSLY ECONOMICAL

🧼 DETAILING

This GN125 received a full rotisserie detail:

It honestly looks like it just came out of the box.

📍 LOCAL HISTORY

This bike originally came from Columbia Yamaha Suzuki in Columbia, Connecticut, about 10 miles from us as the crow flies. I worked at New England Cycle Sales back in the early ’80s when these bikes were new — and I can tell you first 

hand, I have never seen another one like this since.
