Suzuki RG50/GT50/ZR50/X1 brochures

I have put some Suzuki RG 50 (also called GT 50, ZR 50 and X-1) sales brochure scans 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.

1977 Suzuki year code: B

1977 Suzuki GT 50 brochure (generic, 2 pages). Click to enlarge. ”Agile, Sporty Street Bike – Suzuki's New GT50”. Colors: Straight Blue (03J), Eaglet White (189) and Scarlet Medium (185). I found a hi-res brochure scan on the Internet of the front page at first. A few years later I found even the flip side. Printed in Japan, March 1977.

1977 Suzuki RG 50 sales brochure from Japan (4 pages). Click to enlarge. I couldn't find any date on the 4-page catalogue but my guess is that it was printed in January 1977 when the Suzuki RG50 was launched in Japan.

1977 Suzuki RG 50 sales brochure from Japan. Click to enlarge. I found this on some Japanese website. I believe it's a part of a '77 Suzuki lineup catalogue. Wire-spoked wheels and a single passenger seat. Mechanical disc brake at the front. The RG50E with cast alloy wheels was not presented until 1979.

1977 Suzuki Mame-Tan / RG 50 leaflet from Japan (single page). Click to enlarge. I found this image on a Japanese website. It's a photograph that I tried to make look nicer before I uploaded it here. It shows a green Mame-Tan 50 (OR50) and a white RG50, both of them launched in 1977. Printed in Japan. No specifications shown here.

1978 Suzuki year code: C

1978 Suzuki GT50P sales brochure from France (single page). Click to enlarge. I found this photo of a GT50P brochure on the Internet. I believe it was published in May 1978 and there was a TS50P on the other side of the leaflet (I don't have it). The ”P” stands for pedals — in some countries pedals were mandatory if a bike would be classified as moped. I believe that the term ”Mobylette” was used in France. A mobylette, a bike of no more than 50cc and with a top speed of 45kph, was obliged have pedals.

1979 Suzuki year code: N

1979 Suzuki GT50E brochure scan (front page). Click to enlarge. I found this brochure scan on the Internet. Unfortunately I only found the front page and not the backside of this leaflet. I believe it's for the '79 GT50EN but I don't know what country it was published in.

1979 Suzuki GT50P sales brochure from The Netherlands (2 pages). Click to enlarge. This brochure scan was sent to me by Johan, courtesy of Suzuki Bromfietsen. This Dutch model with wire wheels and single passenger seat looks is the same bike as the Japanese RG50 but with adifferent name. Also known as the ZR50.

1979 Suzuki GT50P Special brochure from The Netherlands (2 pages). Click to enlarge. This brochure scan was sent to me by Johan, courtesy of Suzuki Bromfietsen. The ”Special” model of the Dutch GT50 is the same bike as RG50E, ZR50 or X1 with alloy cast wheels and a twin passenger seat.

1981 Suzuki year code: X

1981 Suzuki GT50E brochure scan (front page). Click to enlarge. I found this hi-res brochure scan on the Internet. Unfortunately I only found the front page and not the backside of this leaflet. I believe it's for the 1981 GT50EX. Someone has written ”$899.00” on it so it's likely that the brochure was published in some of the countries that use dollars as currency.

1982 Suzuki year code: Z

1982 Suzuki RG50E brochure from Japan (single page). Click to enlarge. This is a single page from a larger brohure. The entire 8-page '82 Suzuki 50cc Sports Bikes catalogue with the RG50E, TS50 Hustler, GN50E, RT50 Wolf and RV50 VanVan models, with specifications, can be seen here. I can't find any date of publication on the brochure but I've found out that at least some of the model were released in March 1982. Printed in Japan.
