Thanks for your comments yours must have been new in 79. I just love the thing to bits It's just different from all the others out there. .

@@captbarb6642 It was a couple of years old R reg and the previous owner sprayed it a ford metallic purple. Loved the bike only paid £300 for it, the only bit I didn't like were the brakes, either all or nothing😊 but still a great sounding bike, I had the simson 50 and the Mz 125 as well, I really liked the bikes at the time. Glad you have kept one for future riders to enjoy basic motorbike riding.

Looking good, sounding great, job well done, probably not many of these left now. The tank reminds me of a Honda CB72. They made a great job of the speedo/tacho mounts, very simple neat design.

I wonder who copied who as far as the silver tank bits go .

@@captbarb6642 The design of the Supa 5 was "borrowed" from the Honda models of the 1960s. At the end of the 70s, it naturally looked "a bit old-fashioned"😉😁

Absolutely stunning, well done. I had a 1980 TS and restored it. Great little bikes and loads of fun. 🫡

Sadly, no. Sold it 6 years ago for £1.7k

Fab looking bike! Personally I always preferred the smaller TSs, currently own 1986 125 Alpine, condition like yours. Only cost a grand. Love it.

Thanks for your response I did have a running issue but after adjusting float height and main jet needle height it revs cleanly with no bogging down .So it will get some use in the future .

@@captbarb6642 I am pleased that the machine is now running well and I am sure that you will solve all the problems.👍🙂 I look forward to more with your Supa 5.🙂🙃 The Supa 5 will never be as significant as a "Brough Superior"😉😁😉, but in this day and age it is something special I think.🙂😉
