1966 SUZUKI T20 250

HUSTLER

The T20 is a lightweight, high-performance 250 cc motorcycle capable of exceeding 140 km/h.
It was the first motorcycle in the world at the time to feature a six-speed transmission,
advertised with the slogan, ‘When the rest run out of stick, shift into sixth’. The Hustler’s sales
brochure also touted that the bike was able to ‘accelerate like there’s a cyclone in the tank!’

One innovative feature of the T20 is its Posi-Force automatic lubrication system, which directly
pumped oil into the petrol tank. Prior to this, many riders had to manually mix oil into their
tanks.

35 000 T20s were sold internationally over the course of three years, and it is now becoming a
highly collectable classic Japanese motorcycle.
