1966 Suzuki X-6 Hustler I have decided to sell my 1966 Suzuki X-6 Hustler. I am only the 2nd owner. The bike has only 4852 original miles. It has been in dry heated storage but incredibly, it starts and runs just like she should. I even have the old title to the bike. Exhaust is in excellent condition. I am including 24 pictures in enlarged size so you can examine the condition to your satisfaction. 6-speed transmission. This exactly how the bike has always been......I am trying to find the Suzuki side cover emblems, they are around here somewhere. Could beat about anything in its' class and higher back in the day. Check out Jay Leno's Garage on You Tube. He has a feature video on his X6-Hustler. Thanks much for your interest. TERMS: PAYMENT BY PAY PAL ONLY. $500 EARNEST DEPOSIT REQUIRED WHEN I ACCEPT YOUR OFFER WHICH COULD BE RIGHT AFTER YOU MAKE IT. I HAVE THIS SET TO AUTO-ACCEPT ANYTHING ABOVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT. BALANCE IS DUE WHEN I SEND YOU AN INVOICE ON PAY PAL AFTER YOU PAY THE DEPOSIT. PRETTY SIMPLE AND EASY. THIS IS A 45 YEAR OLD MOTORCYCLE AND HAS NO WARRANTIES.

The Suzuki T20 is a motorcycle with a 247 cc, two-stroke, twin-cylinder engine, and six speed gearbox. It was first manufactured in 1965 (but introduced as a 1966 model) and was produced until the end of the 1968 model year. It was superseded by an updated version which was designated the T250-1. In the UK the T20 was called the 'Super Six' (which refers to the motorcycle's very unusual six speed transmission, since most motorcycles have only four speeds or, rarely, five speeds). In the USA the bike was designated the X6 with the advertising department tacking on the name of "Hustler". Advertising brochures produced by Suzuki listed the following features to be found on the new model:Claimed power of 29 hpClaimed weight of 297 lb (135 kg)Racing type double leading shoe 8 inch front brakeAluminium alloy twin cylinder engineClose ratio 6-speed transmissionTwin 24 mm carburettorsPOSI-FORCE lubricationAir pumpScientifically designed quiet efficient mufflersSafe powerful 8 inch rear brakeWide type tail lampSafe bright turn signal lamps3 position adjustable shock absorbersWide, comfortable dual seat3.7 US gal (14 litre) gasoline tankRacing type throttleEasy-to-read tachometer and speedometerSturdy oil damped telescopic front fork12 volt fully approved lighting system In the US, Suzuki first opened a showroom featuring the X6 Hustler in Santa Monica, CA (in late 1964 or early 1965) and shortly after (in June of 1965) opened a second showroom (the first on the US east coast), named Cycle City, located in Newport News, Virginia. An X6 is owned by comedian Jay Leno, and one segment of his web program called Jay Leno's Garage features his profile of the motorcycle. [1]POSI-FORCE System[edit] The T20 was equipped with a 247 cc two-stroke engine, which meant that oil needed to be mixed with gasoline prior to injection into the cylinder. Simple two-stroke designs simply achieved this by requiring the user to combine oil and gas together (a solution known as pre-mix) before filling the fuel tank. However, in an advanced system like the T20, which was expected to operate for longer periods at higher RPMs, this would have been unsuitable. An excess amount of oil would be burned using pre-mix under these conditions, resulting in reduced performance and dirtier emissions, which in turn would cause the exhaust system to become laden with deposits, further reducing performance. The T20 solves this problem by incorporating a once-through oil injection system known as POSI-FORCE, which consists of an engine-driven oil pump coupled to the throttle, which is designed to provide the proper amount of oil needed at the current RPM and throttle opening. The pump draws clean oil from a separate oil tank, and pumps it through hoses into the crankcase, where it is injected into the engine from a nozzle located between the intake manifold and the cylinder. A separate oil injection point is also provided for the main bearing(s) and big end rod bearings of the crankshaft. This dual-point injection made the Posi-Force system far superior to the competitions' single point per cylinder systems. Suzuki would continue to use this system on many of their two-stroke motorcycle designs for many years.Racing[edit] TERMS: PAY PAL ONLY. $500 NON-REFUNDABLE EARNEST DEPOSIT UPON ME ACCEPTING YOUR OFFER.
