Suzuki, for reasons which have always mystified us, has never garnered a share
of the motorcycle market in line with their performance. They built a 250cc (the X6 Hustler)
that was faster than many 650's, in its day. The only 2-stroke to ever win an AMA road
race in the 500cc class was a Suzuki. Here then is their 1970 assortment. While nothing
radical has been added technologically or stylistically, the Suzukis remain fast and
solid. Take a good look, and let us know if you'd like some road tests on the Seventy Suzukis.

F-50 CUTLASS
For the young cycle rider, Suzuki
developed the F-50 Cutlass. Bike
features step-through frame and
three-speed automatic clutch. Pri-
mary kick starter plus Teed valve
help provide the two-stroke single
cylinder engine with smooth ac-
celeration and power. Swing-arm
suspension and internal expanding
brakes, front and rear, make the
F-50 surefooted. The famous Su-
zuki Posi-force lubrication ends
gas-oil mixing.
Safety-approved side mirror; side .
reflectors, front and rear; plus a
stop light which is activated by both
the hand and foot brake lever round
out the F-50 safety package. Stand-
ard is a module mounted speedo-
meter.
AC-50 MAVERICK
The AC-50 Maverick leads the
-• way with high performance and en-
duro styling for the young cycle en-
thusiast. The Maverick’s rotary-
valve engine (1.61 x 1.49 bore and
stroke), pulls 4.9 bhp out of 49cc’s
48
sion, and encased in a double
cradle, tubular frame and skid

clutch, single internal expanding
leading shoe brakes, and Moto-
cross type front forks with 5 Vi"

Flat-bridge, Motocross handle-
bar, primary kick starter, and 18”
“Trial” tires are standard equip-
ment. Posi-force lubrication ends
oil and gas mixing while it keeps

The deep-cushioned seat flips up
for easy maintenance.
Power tuned exhaust, complete
with chromed heat shield and built-
in spark arrestor. Claimed speeds
to 70 mph.
Plus it’s street legal. Suzuki built
the TS-90 with a racing-type head-
light and all the mirrors, reflectors,
and fenders it needs to pass the
safety inspection—even a module _
mounted speedometer.
Same warranty as all Suzuki's:
12 months/12,000 miles.
