Updates
on my site
August 2002
Here follows the list of the new or updated stuff on my site. I try to keep
this page up to date and write here every update on My Suzuki Pages that
might interest you.
August 7: I had a
couple of weeks biking holiday in Finland and haven't been online for a
while. There's a couple of visitors Suzuki pictures waiting to be uploaded
on the site and there's also a huge pile of old Finnish Tekniikan Maailma
magazine articles waiting to be scanned. The first update after the brake
is a four-page sales brochure scan from Sweden, 1967 (at least I think it
is) Suzuki Sport
50, also known as M12S. I also put a 1964 Japanese ad to the same page.

with several pages, among them a 1995 RG125
Gamma sales brochure from Switzerland.

frameset with couple of pages of the model. Please help me to find more
info of the model, even of other GSX600 models.
August 10: I have started to scan some
various stuff from some old Tekniikan Maailma magazines from Finland. I
started from the earliest stuff I could find, the pictures of Suzuki T500
and TR250 at the R.A.I. Motorcycle
Show in Amsterdam and a T20
test drive, both from 1968.

August 17: I have continued scanning
stuff from old Tekniikan Maailma magazines from Finland. A week ago I scanned
the couple of articles I found on the '68 year's issues, now I continued
with the '69 issues I've got. I found these: A Suzuki
A95 ad, a T500

August 21: A couple of pictures on the
RG125 Gamma
and RGV250 Gamma
model history pages were in wrong places. I corrected the errors and found
a couple of new pictures to put on the named pages. I even updated the RGV250
Gamma history a little. More pictures and brochures are more than welcome!
I even updated My
Motor Pages today, it has been a while since the last time. I found
an interesting and unique test ride of Jarno Saarinen's Puch-Tunturi M125
6 Gg from 1968 from an old Finish motor magazine. I scanned the article
and put it on my other (not nearly as informative as this one) site.
August 22: I have continued to scan
Finnish articles and ads from the old Tekniikan Maailma magazines I have
(there's several issues missing). Now I went throught the '70 issues I've
got. I found these: A Suzuki
A95 ad, some specs for all the motorcycles sold in Finland in 1970,
including Suzuki A95, Suzuki T125-II and Suzuki T250-II. I have started
to make an own page with all
Suzuki models imported to Finland. I also found an article of the '69
Tokyo Motor Show, where Suzuki models Wild Cat (100cc trial bike), T350
Tiger, T500-III Titan ad T125-II were mentioned. I found even a four-page
T125-II road
test. Minor updates on the All
Suzuki Models section (1970).

Suzuki Models section (1991 and 1992). New pages about Suzuki
SW-1 and Goose 250.
Some new pictures on the RG125
Gamma, GSX1100G,
GSX-R750,
GSX600F and GSX1100F
model history pages.
August 24: Justin Smith had seen the
RM500 picture on the Help wanted page and recognized it as a '84 years model.
He owned a RM500E himself that he had restored to mint original condition
and had a brochure of it with the specs. He sent the specs to me and I could
start the RM500
page. Erik Hobo had recently sent me a brochure page scan from '91 with
the RM80X,
RM125
and RM250
models. So I updated the respective brochure pages (the RM80X page is new).
I gothered all the Suzuki
RM-RMX models under their own frameset. New is also the Suzuki
PV50 frameset, for the Japanese and Finnish versions of the PV50 EPO.
The model was sold in Finland under the name Solifer-Suzuki.
There's also a new frameset for the RB50
GAG (the minigixxer) model history and brochure pages, and there's also
a Finnish version of the GAG, called Solifer-Suzuki
R.
August 25: I found a couple of new brochure
scans from 1980: RM50
and RM80.
Both new pages. I also found a Japanese sales brochure of the Mame-Tan
50E, called OR50 Rebel when exported overseas. Found new info of the
models, updated the OR50 Rebel model history
page and even the RG50/GT50/ZR50/X1
model history page (the parts that concern the sister model OR50). A new
page with FY50 Youdy
brochures.
August 26: A couple of small T20
magazine ads and a AS50
magazine ad from Japan, GN250E
brochure from Japan. A new Visitor's

brochure page (with specs). New page with several pictures of the rare
Solifer-Suzuki
R minigixxer before renovation.
August 29: New Visitor's
Suzuki pictures (GT250A). Updated the Updates page, made separate pages
of each month's updates for faster loading. Hope you appreciate it.
August 30: New brochure pages with Suzuki
GT100, GT125
and GP125. Minor
updates on the All
Suzuki Models section (1979).
August 31: I updated My
Motor Pages today, I got in touch with the copyright owner of the color
picture of Jarno Saarinen's old Puch-Tunturi M125 6 Gg that I found of a
Finnish website. The guy who took the picture allowed me use it. Thanks!
I even updated the page with all
Suzuki models imported to Finland. This time I went through the Suzukis
imported to Finland in 1985 and 1987. Minor updates on the All
Suzuki Models section (1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1985, 1986, 1987) and
the GSX1100E model
history and the GS1150E
page. New frameset for all the Suzuki
GT models. New Visitor's
Suzuki pictures (AC50, K11P). New pictures of a Suzuki GSX1400
with Hepco & Becker crash bars and rear carrier. New 1968 M12
brochure scans. New brochure pages: M30
(Suzy 50) and M31
(Suzy 55).
The number of page views in August 2002 was 63,031 (new record) and the
total number of hits is now over 350,000 since the start in September 2001
(over 79,000 unique visitors). I'm very happy for the traffic! I thank you
all for visiting my site. I hope you have enjoyed your visit and will come
again some time.
The busiest week so far was also in August 2002. During the week 32 (3-11
August) there was 16,330 page views.
The total number of visitors should actually be higher, the counter was
down a couple of weeks in June and July and the hits per day have been encreasing
all the time. Still, the site gets more visitors all the time and that is
my reward for my efforts... :-)
