I would be grateful of any contributions — sales brochures, magazine ads, magazine articles, pictures, specs, facts, corrections etc. Please scan the material in JPEG format (large enough that all the details are visible) and send them to me. Please tell me the source and the publication date if possible. If you send me pictures of your own bike, please follow these instructions.

1971 Suzuki year code: R

1971 GT250 sales brochure from Japan. Click to enlarge. I found this on a Japanese website somewhere. At first I wasn't sure if I should put this on the T250 or the GT250 brochure page. I don't think the model was called GT250 outside Japan until '73 when the Ram Air cylinder head was introduced. In the Western World the model was known as the T250. Still, the Japanese '71 GT250 didn't look like the '71 T250 so I'd guess this was the first GT250 model available anywhere.

1971 GT250 sales brochure from Japan (three pages). Click to enlarge. Yes, it is the first GT250 model. It was sold even in Europe, at least in Great Britain, under the model name TT250. I found these brochure scans at www.t250.co.uk. It appears to be the same Japanese GT250 brochure. The GT250/TT250 was essentially similar to the later T250 models. According to the www.t250.co.uk the model was only sold in the UK as the TT250 and as a GT250 in Japan. The same source also tell that there appears to have been a lull in production of T250R's in early '72 and it's during this time that TT250's appear in the UK in the low 40000's frame number range. The The model looks a lot like the '72 T350R, the main differences being the smaller engine capacity and lack of a grab rail.

1972 Suzuki year code: J

No brochures available yet. The model was sold in UK as TT250 and in Japan as GT250.



1973 Suzuki year code: K

GT250K sales brochure from Belgium. Click to enlarge. The first GT250 model available outside Japan (except for the rare TT250, see the brochures above). The Ram Air cylinder head and disc brakes at the front (single disc) were the most distinct differences from the T250. This brochure was kindly sent to me by Erik Hobo from the Netherlands.

1974 Suzuki year code: L

1974 GT250L sales brochure from Belgium. Click to enlarge. This brochure was kindly sent to me by Erik Hobo from the Netherlands.

GT250M sales brochure from Schwitzerland. Click to enlarge. This brochure was kindly sent to me by Erik Hobo from the Netherlands.

1976 Suzuki year code: A

1976 GT250A sales brochure (two pages). Click to enlarge. This brochure was kindly scanned and sent to me by Erik Hobo from the Netherlands.

1976 GT250 Sport sales brochure from Germany (two pages). Click to enlarge. A German special model with a racing-styled fairing and Black side covers. Even this brochure was kindly scanned and sent to me by Erik Hobo from the Netherlands.

1976 GT250A sales brochure from Finland. Click to enlarge. These scans was sent to me by Markku Nissilä from Finland. He scanned the whole Finnish '76 Suzuki lineup brochure for me to publish on my site. You can see all the brochure pages here.

1977 Suzuki year code: B

1977 GT250B sales brochure from Japan. Click to enlarge. This one is from some Japanese website. Unfortunately the quality of this scan is not that great but you can see the pictures anyway. I'm not sure of the year, a visitor of this site told me that it is a 1976 GT250B. I would agree if I hadn't seen a similar RG50 brochure and as far as I know the RG50 wasn't released until '77. The model name was changed to RG250 in Japan 1978 so I'd guess this brochure has to be from 1977. Tell me if you disagree.

1977 GT250B sales brochure from Belgium (four pages). Click to enlarge. These brochure scans were kindly sent to me by Erik Hobo from the Netherlands.

1978 Suzuki year code: C

1978 GT250C sales brochure from United Kingdom (four pages). Click to enlarge. This brochure was kindly scanned and sent to me by Dave Sykes from UK. “I've been collecting brochures since the late 1980's, my main interest are the Suzuki GT models from the 1970's. This was the last of the UK GT250 brochures I was looking to obtain and I didn't actually locate this one until 2004 so it is pretty rare,” Dave writes. In some countries (at least in Japan) GT250 became RG250 in 1978. In many countries the model was sold as the X7, in some countries it was called GT250-X7. Printed in Japan, October 1977.
