| A rare sight: single cylinder, but twin pipes. "Suzuki claims 32 BHP from the engine. After riding the bike, it is apparent that this is not one of the over enthusiastic claims that many factories make for their race machinery. It will deliver 8200 RPM if permitted! In fact the best power is developed at just under 7000 & 7500 RPM which is probably the wisest in lower gears." - CYCLE WORLD MARCH 1968 |
"There's power all the way through. The Suzuki will run to 60mph in the
eighth mile. And that's more than brisk acceleration by anyone’s standards."

Quick air filter service between motos. Simply drop both pipes, remove seat, unbolt air box, pull rear wheel, unclamp box at boot and slide whole assembly out the rear. The box will not come out any other way. Well thought out, eh ? |

They sweep upward from the engine unit, just below the seat and alongside fiberglass rear number-cum-plate molding. When riding in the saddle, or while standing on the pegs over sharp jumps or rough ground, they present no problem. However, when standing towards the rear of the bike over long jumps-with arms at full stretch-the chambers could lead to some painful burns on the inside of the rider thighs." - CYCLE WORLD MARCH 1968 |
