Description
1971 Suzuki Super Six Registration no. BVF 5J Frame no. DJR 15571 (see text) Engine no. T20-35460 Using the Colleda marque name, Suzuki launched its first 250cc two-stroke twin in 1956, and the type would remain a fixture of the range for the next 40 years. The replacement T10 appeared in 1963 sporting, among numerous improvements, Suzuki's new 'CCI' pumped lubrication system. The next stage of development was the now classic T20 Super Six, which was marketed in the USA as the X6 Hustler. Introduced in 1965, the T20 was an entirely new design although still a 250cc two-stroke parallel twin. The frame was a now tubular and of the duplex loop type, while the gearbox offered the rider the luxury of six speeds for the first time on a road-going motorcycle. With its precise handling, good brakes, powerful (29bhp) motor and 90mph-plus top speed, the Super Six received rave reviews in the motorcycling press and soon established a giant-killing reputation in production machine racing. Inevitably, many were converted for racing and original unmodified examples are increasingly rare. Today the Super Six/Hustler is one of the most collectible of 1960s Japanese classics. This example was first registered in the UK in 1982 and has been restored by the vendor. We are advised that the engine has a reconditioned crankshaft and that it has been rebored and fitted with new pistons. The Suzuki has not been ridden post-rebuild and still needs running in. Offered with a V5C Registration Certificate. It should be noted, the frame number appears to be a non-factory stamp. Offered with key Footnotes: All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding. AUCTION INFORMATION & GUIDE FOR BUYERS Please see the Auction Information and Guide for Buyers at the top of the main sale page (Motorcycles Online - The Summer Sale) for all pertinent information regarding bidder's obligations, viewing, bidding, payment, post-sale collection & transportation. REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTE To request a UK or European Motorcycle shipping quote visit Moving Motorcycles. To request an International Motorcycle shipping quote visit Shippio. To request a Memorabilia and Spares shipping quote visit Mail Boxes Etc - Milton Keynes or Alban Shipping. BUYER'S PREMIUM The Buyer's Premium for this Lot is 15%+VAT on the first £500,000 of the Hammer Price, and 12%+VAT on the balance thereafter.
