1968 Suzuki Bearcat B105P

In Dual-Sport, Japan, Less than 5k by AbhiLeave a Comment

Suzuki’s Bearcat was a small dual sport that was marketed as a “thrifty swifty” – go anywhere and carry anything for cheap. At 25 miles per hour with the touring sprocket, the Bearcat returned 153 miles per gallon. This example is just $800 and it ‘runs good’, however the clutch is worn and will need to be replaced very soon.

Basic specifications include 11 horsepower from the 120cc two-stroke single, a top speed of 38 or 60 depending on the sprocket you selected in the rear, and a dry weight of 194 pounds. The seller calls this a 1968 model, but it’s probably a ’67 as 1968 was when Suzuki introduced the KT 120 Trail, the Bearcat’s successor (which lost the dual sprockets and instead gained an auxiliary gear in the transmission to switch between trail/street modes.
