I'm yet to see a ALT of any shape go more than $400. And that was a really clean one.

Boy... it seams like they are rare... From my repair manuals, I think they only made them one year... possibly 2. 1985 I think.

They made them in 1985 only. parts are plentiful EXCEPT plastics.

They interchange almost everything with ALT 125 and LT 125 except some engine componments

They interchande all engine components with LT 185

They go for 300-600 depending upon condition,. I paid 400 for mine.

They also have reverse.

Note: the frond fender is broken so I have a honda fender bolted on temporarily until I find a replacement.

I paid $600 for an ALT50... 1983 and in perfect shape. The Suzuki's really do seem rare.... Here is a pic with my friend's daughter on it...

There's a set of rear fenders I saw at a local parts place. Pretty sure for a ALT125 or 185 cause they are the yellow. (Seems like all the LT's were orange??)

I got an ALT125 here in my garage... pretty much taking up space where a Honda should be. :wondering

I had a yellow 125 , what a fun machine all around, good in the mud , liggt in the front end for wheeling, and definetly the fastest out of the 125 {comparig to atc 125m} the suzuki is probably 4-5 mph faster than the ATC 125m if not more. I raced my uncle on his 200es down a dirt road for about 1/2 mile and he barely got by me . I would love to get a nother one.

yeah i just think it would be neat to have where they are pretty rare. kind of a collectors item.

would you mind verifying that and gettig me the number to the place? I would appreciate it

this had red fenders, rusty exhaust, the marine environment was harsh, looks like she needs some tlc, pretty cool little machine.

I had a 1985 LT185. Basically the same as the ALT other than it had 4 wheels. Sure was fun. That thing would climb anything and it was awesome in the snow. Looks at the ALT185 sure does bring back memories. The only thing that was bad about it was that it was a hard tail. My back felt that after a few years of riding it in my woods.
