1970 Yamaha DS6 250 and 1969 Suzuki T125 "Stinger"

Here is the cleanest older bike I ever found, a 1970 Yamaha DS6, and also a very nice 1969 Suzuki T125 "Stinger".

Just like there are "bobbers", "choppers", "cafe racer", etc, is there a particular/specific name for these style of bikes? The long seat, etc. The Suzuki TU250 (modern) looks kind of similar & was intentionally made to look "retro".

@gjc82071 Well, I would say that the T125 is styled after the factory GP bikes of the period. So, I'd say that it's in the "cafe racer" style. My opinion only.

40 years old now! still have it? lovely bike.

@mishko01 No, I don't own either one of these bikes anymore. They both went to the Trev Deely Motorcycle Museum near Vancouver, BC. Be sure to visit the museum if you get to that area. A great collection of bikes.

@shipo3 Quite fast, lol, it would kick the crap out of a Harley 750 from back then.

This was my very first motorcycle. I bought a brand new one and rode the heck out of it for about 15K miles. Sold it to my brother and trashed it. O, well. Great first bike.

@bridgeman11 That's it!...........It's "Cafe Racer" style. Thanks.

Wow talk about bringing back memories....I owned the exact same Ds6 Yamaha in 1972.It was quite a fast little machine in those days and had good looks to boot,the red paint job set it off nicely,,,,Damn wonderful to see one in such mint condition.

Beautiful. Im looking into buying one exactly like that one just not as polished. I love this bike.

@bridgeman11 I certainly will one day,Vancouver is on my list, although I still ride my old and trusty 1971 Suzy T350. Thanks for the info and the video.
