The Suzuki T20 is a motorcycle with a 247 cc, two-stroke, twin-cylinder engine, and six speed gearbox. It was first manufactured in 1965 (but introduced as a 1966 model) and was produced until the end of the 1968 model year. Production peaked at more than 5000 units per month. It was superseded by an updated version which was designated the T250-1. An X6 is owned by comedian Jay Leno, and one segment of his web program called Jay Leno's Garage features his profile of the motorcycle. ==Marketing== In the UK the T20 was called the 'Super Six' (which refers to the motorcycle's very unusual six speed transmission, since most motorcycles had only four speeds or, rarely, five speeds) in that era. In the USA the bike was designated the X6 with the advertising department tacking on the "Hustler" name. Advertising brochures produced by Suzuki listed the following features to be found on the new model: * Claimed power of 29 hp * Claimed weight of 297 lb (135 kg) * Racing type double leading shoe 8 inch front brake * Aluminium alloy twin cylinder engine * Close ratio 6-speed transmission * Twin 24 mm carburettors * POSI-FORCE lubrication * Air pump * Scientifically designed quiet efficient mufflers * Safe powerful 8 inch rear brake * Wide type tail lamp * Safe bright turn signal lamps * 3 position adjustable shock absorbers * Wide, comfortable dual seat * 3.7 US gal (14 litre) gasoline tank * Racing type throttle * Easy-to-read tachometer and speedometer * Sturdy oil damped telescopic front fork * 12 volt fully approved lighting system In the US, Suzuki first opened a showroom featuring the X6 Hustler in Santa Monica, CA (in late 1964 or early 1965) and shortly after (in June 1965) opened a second showroom (the first on the US east coast), named Cycle City, located in Newport News, Virginia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Suzuki T20」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
