Suzuki RT60


The RT60, the piston port 125cc twin that Suzuki fielded for the IoM in 1960. They were not competitive, but at least all finished, in 15th, 16th and 18th place. The Suzuki average speed was 71.88 mph compared to the winners speed of 85.61 (Carlos Ubbialli on an MV). Note the mufflers, they can't quite be called expansion chambers yet.

  2. I suspect it’s ignition? I was hoping to find pictures of just the engine or of it being worked on.

  3. The rider in the first picture must be 4-foot-nothing...
