1969 A95 magazine advert (Tekniikan Maailma 9/1969). Click to enlarge.
I found this ad in a Finnish
Tekniikan Maailma magazine. According to the advertisement the
A95 was the most superior bike in its class, a complete sporty
bike with high-tech mechanical solutions. The new Posi-Force lubrication
system was praised, as well as the TT racing styled seat and fuel
tank and the bike's extremely light weight.
The specs mentioned in the ad:

Maximum power output: 7,5 hp/ 7.500 rpm

1970 A95 magazine advert from Finland. Click to enlarge.
Published in Tekniikan Maailma, April 1970. According to the
advertisement A95 was the best selling Japanese bike in Finland.
Actually there were only three Suzuki models available in the
country in 1970: Suzuki A95 (1 430 FIM) , Suzuki T125-II (2
390 FIM) and Suzuki T250-II (3 495 FIM).
I haven't found information about the A95 anywhere else in the
world, I wonder if it was a special model, available only in
Finland and Sweden? The model name also puzzles me a bit, A70
would be a more suitable name because of the 69cc engine.
There was an article published in Tekniikan Maailma 5/1969 about
the model, perhaps it could give some answers. Unfortunately
I don't have that issue. Anyone?
Notice the enormous mud flap hanging behind the rear wheel,
required in Finland back then.
