Suzuki M12 ”Cavalier” magazine adverts

I have tried to find some Suzuki M 12 / Sport 50 magazine advert scans to show on this page. 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.

1962 Suzuki T10 El Camino ”250”, M12 Classic ”50”, 150SGB Magnum ”150”, S31 Collegian ”125” and K11 Trojan ”80” magazine ad from USA (2 pages). Click to enlarge. ”Ride a Suzuki motorcycle just for fun”. This 2-page advertisement was published in Cycle World magazine, September 1962. It shows some very early versions of Suzuki models launched in America. Here the ”150” Suzuki is called Magnum, a bit confusing but I think it's the 150 SGB. The nickname ”Magnum” was later used for the Suzuki B100 in the US.
