Famous for its two stroke motorcycles and with a keen eye on the lightweight, learner motorcycle market, Suzuki needed a model to tempt the young motorcyclist away from the Honda CB72 and the Yamaha YDS3 offerings from rival Japanese factories.
This was named the Super Six, a 247cc parallel two stroke twin mated to a six-speed gearbox cluster, it was the first production bike, in the world, to have such a gearbox. Launched in 1965 for the 1966 season and continuing until the end of the 1968 season, the Super Six boasted ‘Posiforce-lube’ lubrication, a quoted power output of 29bhp at 7,500rpm and a top speed of 94mph.
This performance was quickly noted and many machines were stripped and tuned for racing, with various performance upgrades offered by dealers such as Crooks Suzuki which resulted in modified Super Six bikes capable of lapping the TT circuit at 100mph plus.
WPX was first registered with DVLA in 1984 and appears to be in good condition with a creditable 15,000 miles on the odometer.
WPX was bought as a runner, owner never used it but sounded fine at the time, needs carburettors draining and fresh petrol, battery new, piston rings and top end new.
