1973 Suzuki TS-400 Apache - buy the dirt machine, get the street machine free





The TS400 is like two bikes for the price of one. Of course, we realize some people feel there's no such thing as a good dual-purpose motorcycle. They say a bike designed for both dirt and street is a compromise that isn't good for either. We say bunk. TS-400 Apache is a superb dual-purpose machine. In the dirt, it develops 34 horsepower at 6000 rpm. And 29.7 ft-lbs of torque at 5500 rpm. On the street, those 34 horses run through a five-speed gearbox and push you up to 80-85 mph. Fast.
