Updates on my site
March 2022


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 site that might interest you.


.
I'm still here... It's been over 20 years now since I started to fill my site with all kinds of Suzuki motorcycle stuff: specifications, photos, brochures, magazine ads... There wasn't any similar sites on the Internet back then – what I know of. Now there are a few similar sites out there, but most of them don't have any good stuff of the vintage models. I believe I'm still one of the largest, if not the largest size on the Internet including ALL Suzuki motorcycle models. I hope some people think it's also the best. I am trying...
.
The fact that it was 20 years ago when I put this website together also means that I made the layout suitable for desktop computers, not for iPads or smartphones (there wasn't any back then). Also, an average computer display was 15 inches large, 27 inches or more is not uncommon these days. The images I uploaded back them (using a 56K dial-up modem) were often very small. ”Even larger picture” back then could be 560 pixels wide. Now it's usually 2400 pixels wide, when I have decent material to work with. Back then, images needed to be small, otherwise people didn't manage to show them on their slow computers with slow Internet connections.
..
I still use the same layout I created in 2001. It still works, but the text is on the smaller side and can be difficult to read on some devices. To change the layout on this site with over a thousand different pages would mean a lot of work for me. It's not broken so I won't fix it unless I have to. I'd rather spend the time adding more Suzuki stuff on the site than making the site look more modern.
.
I have got loads of help from the vistors on my site during the years. In the beginning it was often essential, there wasn't as much material on the Internet as it is now. People svanned their brochures at their homes and mailed the material to me. Seeing the brochures is not only fun, but it is often the only way to be sure that the infomation is correct. The errors often multiply on the Internet, webmasters copy information from each other. I've mistakes I made on my site being copied to several other sites.
.
Please notify me if you find any errors on my site, either technical or if there's uncorrect information about the motorcycle models. It is an enormous task to tell everything about every Suzuki motorcycle ever made. I will probably never get there, but I'm working on it...
.
And do keep on sending brochure scans to me! Please check first if I already have the brochure here on my site. And don't make the scans too small. The bigger, the better! Here's the e-mail address:

I noticed that the Donate button on my site didn't work... I think I've fixed it now. Please tell me if it doesn't work for you!

March 29: Today I made a huge structural update on my site, I made all the pages work with iFrames instead of old school Frames that didn't work so well anymore with the search engines and the adverts that make it possible for me to maintane this website. I'm sure there's more clever way to make a website but I needed a fix that takes only hours, not months to make the necessary changes. I hope the site works fine and looks good to you now. Let me know if there's something that isn't working so I try to fix it! Here's the e-mail address:

New page: GSX750P brochures (Police model, '97). I also updated many pages that had really old information, like the Links page. Most of the links to other Suzuki motorcycle sites were dead and the sites long gone. I made the page around 20 years ago so that's it was time to check if the links work...
Updated pages: DR200SE brochures ('07 Global), RM-Z250 model history ('05 and '08 photos).

I have also started building a VL250 Intruder model history page. I have some pictures and info of the model but not much.

March 31: New pages: Address 110 model history. It's a start, anyhow... I also started Sixteen 125 and Sixteen 150 model history pages, I try to find some useful info of the models soon. I already found a couple of catalogus for the models. You can find all the Sixteen pages here. New, much larger images on the GS425E brochures page ('80 Austria).



Sometimes I get mail from people who complain that their favorite model is not on my site. In many cases they haven't even bothered to look properly or used the search engine. But there are still some models missing. I'm doing my best and will fill in the gaps as fast as I can. This is not my profession; I'm doing this in my spare time. I could use some help to be able to get more things done. Please send me pictures, brochures and specs – or complete model histories... Anything at all that can make the site more complete. Here's more info of how you can contact me.

One more thing: PLEASE visit the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) pages before sending me questions about your bikes, manuals etc. I would love to help you all but I haven't got enough time or knowledge to do that — perhaps you can find an answer to your question on the FAQ pages?
