1964? Suzuki M12S racer Owner: Bengt Abrahamsson, Sandviken Sweden Bengt sent me a few pictures of his M12S that he bought recently in Borås, Sweden. He tells me that this bike should be one of the first M12s imported to Sweden. Apparently some of the bikes that came from Japan were accidentally dropped on the pier when lifted from the boat from Japan.

One saved the parts that were still usable and used them to build a few 50cc racers of them. This was told to Bengt by a man called Björn Roos, owner of a NSU vintage racer. The guy who sold the bike to Bengt didn't know much about its history. He only knew that it had been ridden on a race track by some Finnish guy. Bengt would very much like to know more about the history of the bike.

He hopes to be able to renovate the bike to its original condition. Anyone with pictures, facts, newspaper clippings, tips or anything, please contact him at email address mgwa@mail.bip.net. Bengt is trying to do some recearch of his own and promised to let us know when he knows something more.

The frame number plate. Unfortunately the picture is not sharp enough for us to see the frame number. Bengt promised to check the number as soon as he gets the opportunity and send it to me.
