Model chart
Aside from the odd four-stroke built in their formative years, it wasn't until 1976 that Suzuki manufactured such machines in significant numbers. Until then, it was two-strokes all the way. These models, many of which were the basis of successful racers, carried names like Titan, Cobra, Sebring, LeMans, Kettle, and Water Buffalo along with their codes. The author examines these models and others, providing the reader
-- Extensive specification tables high lighting the variations in seemingly similar models
-- Information to help the reader match model and marketing codes, essential when ordering parts or servicing a machine
-- A model chart that matches full codes to their exact year, shows the ears in which models were built, and explains the relationship between similar codesAlso included is the RE5 with its rotary engine and unique styling, and Suzuki's minute but complex road racers, which carried as many as 14 speeds in their gearboxes. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs of the models and their variants.
