I am sure I have some ads somewhere I will search for them and scan em.

Nicky Matthews & Kevin Hay(n)es used to ride for them bitd.

Not the best picture but this is a picture of Kevin whilst riding for Suzuki on the right behind Dave Morris and me at Bournemouth in 1985. I will see if I can make better tomorrow.

HUTCHMAN · « **Reply #24 on:** December 23, 2009, 09:41 PM »

Had a chat with someone from Suzuki GB today,Suzuki themselves never brought these into England.he reacons only the USA and Japan got them.So it seems like YES imported them directly from Taiwan??He is going to get in touch with someone from Suzuki USA and let me know the results.
