Suzuki S32 ”Olympian”
1965–1968

I have gathered some Suzuki S 32 specs on this page . The page is still under construction. 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.

Suzuki S32, also called Suzuki 150, or Olympian, was a two-stroker twin with dual carbs, 4-speed transmission, toaster tank, and electric starter. The 150cc engine was good for 16 horsepower at 8,000 rpm, which was sufficient for a bike that weighed just 115 kg (253 pounds). It was produced between 1965 and 1967. It had a hollow pressed-steel frame like its precessors, the variations of the early-sixties Colleda 150 Seltwins, and their 125cc single cylinder cousins Colleda ST, SB and SH in the second half of the 1950s. S32 was manufactured until late 1967 or early 1968. I need more information.
