In 68(?) they changed the name to TC120, and dropped the dual sprockets for an arrangement similar to the Honda CT90s. Like Honda, they ;started using displacement in the model's name. I also had a 250cc X6 Hustler and a T500 Titan, the 500cc two-stroke twins that were their answer to the Honda CB450.
The Hustler had 20K miles on it and had bad piston slap, but would still smoke a BSA 650 in the 1/4 mile. Both literally and figuratively. After the 1/4, well, there's no replacement for displacement.

Yah never know. My motor states a B100....but it's listed as a 105 on the tag. In all honesty, the Chinese had it figured right with the "163FML" type of coding they used. It made it easy for figuring us what you had.
My newer "old" bikes have been easier to figure out but the older (70's/80's) stuff has more info on the web.
