April 2024
Here follows the list of the new or updated stuff on my site. There's always some gaps to fill, brochures to find, stories to tell. It's a never ending job. I hope you appreciate my efforts.
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. 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...
Please notify me if you find any errors, things that look strange, problems on the website or uncorrect information about the motorcycle models. Any problems at all. I do read all the messages although I sometimes react slowly. It is an enormous task I've committed to, telling everything about every Suzuki motorcycle ever made. I will probably never get there, but I'm working on it...
Please keep on sending brochure scans to me! Don't make the scans too small. The bigger, the better! Here's the e-mail address:

April 26 New pages: DR350 magazine adverts ('90 USA). Updated pages: RM65 brochures ('04 USA), DR350 model history (some new photos).
April 27 Updated pages: All the ”year-pages”. I have started an enormous operation, to convert all the pages on this massive website from using framesets to a website totally free of frames, that can cause problems with search engines and linking to my site. Also, some pages with frames can behave strangely in some smart phones. I started with the pages that show (almost) every motorcycle Suzuki made each year. It takes time to convert the entire site with thousands of pages but I will get there. In meantime, if you notice that some links don't work like they should, please notify me. You can see the e-mail address above here, on this page. Thank you. I also updated the following pages: JR50 brochures ('90 USA), DS80 brochures ('90 USA), DR100 brochures ('90 USA)
April 28 As I wrote yesterday, I have started converting all the pages on this site working without frames, improving the search functions and even making the pages look better on smaller screens and smart phone displays. I will keep the meny pages as frames for the time being, before I can come up with a better solution. I have already managed to make the necessary code changes on many pages. I'm processing them in alphabetical order. I started with the A-series and I have now reached the GSX-series.
April 29 As I told you here above, I'm rewriting the html code on my website, freeing the pages from their frames. The operation is going to take some time. Before I'm done with the entire site, some of the pages will still be inside their frames like during the 23 years my site has been here, and some of the pages will jump out of the frame when you choose them on the meny. I hope you don't find that too confusing.
I'm processing the pages in alphabetical order. Today I started with the GT-series and hope to get to the ZR-series before the end of the month.
April 30 Checking and altering the html code is boring. After I few hours I started collecting data for a Ran (CF50) scooter's model history instead. I also found images of brochures I could use. New pages: Ran/CF50 brochures ('84 Japan), Ran/CF50 model history (1983–1989).
