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.
