1968 Suzuki 500/Five Dual Stroke original vintage advertisement.
DESCRIPTION:
Who makes the sport cycle that couldn’t be built?
Suzuki makes it!
World’s first 500cc Dual-Stroke.
The finishing touches: another first! Magnificent metallic jewelled-finish. In glittering gold. Or ruby red sapphire blue. Rich, thick chromium fenders, too.
Suzuki Posi-Force - First foolproof system ever — ends oil-gas mixing for good. And by pressure-feeding undiluted oil it cuts wear at high and low speeds.
Altitude Compensating Carburetion — a Suzuki first! The 500/FIVE gets you to the top without gasping for air. Its twin-carburetors sense sea-level changes and automatically adjust their flow.
5-speed Constant-Mesh Transmission — first in its class! By hanging five on the 500/FIVE, Suzuki brings more performance out for you.
The engine that couldn’t be built powers the 500/FIVE to a SS in 13.2! 500cc’s worth of power in the most honest engine ever designed: the Suzuki Dual-Stroke. A hot 46 horses at a cool 7000 rpm! A top speed range of 110 to 120 mph!
Factory-instailed Performance-Panel — first for a sportcycle! Separate speedometer and tachometer modules — the high-test type you’dtack on later, but we built them in.
Safety? First with Suzuki! Only Suzuki, of the leading sportcycles, is spec’d out specially for American standards of size and safety. That’s a comfort any way you cut it.
The 500/FIVE safety factors include: Stabilizing Suspension. Deep-flexing, oil-dampened front forks and rear swinging arms take the grind out of the bumps.
High-speed Tires specially chosen to match the 500/FIVE’S muscle through the turns.
Big Racing-Bred Brakes. Another first: the rear brake and shift levers can switch sides. If you prefer southpaw stopping, that’s a brake for you.
THE SUZUKI 500/FIVE
Revolutionary dual stroke
Our biggest first— your Suzuki lasts and lasts and lasts!
The 12 Month/12,000 Mile Warranty
The 500/FIVE is the kind of sportcycle no one expected for years.
So if you saddle one up now, you’ve got a long, long road of riding kicks coming. Especially with the great Suzuki Warranty going for you.
It covers every major sportcycle component. Every one. For 12 months or 12,000 miles.
Even things like tires and chain are protected by a 6 month/4,000 mile warranty that’s equal to the full coverage of many other makes.
And of all the leading brands, it’s the only warranty around with real trade-in value.
We put our fame on the line because we built our name on the assembly line. With engineering skill. With a search for the new. With toe-the-mark testing of everything we do.
Before you buy, solo Suzuki. Nobody backs a new model with more old-fashioned integrity.
