1965 Suzuki
Black and white 9 1/4" x 12 1/2" ad for the versatility of these motorcycles. The ad has a picture of two Suzukis being ridden by cowboys as they do calf wrangling. One cowboy was sitting on the back of a Suzuki that was being driven by another cowboy and he hopped off onto the head of a calf and is in the process of twisting his horns to the ground. The ad headline warns to "Watch it! Suzuki are here". This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.

1965 Suzuki
Black and white 10" x 13 1/2" ad that is seeking to define the fact that the 1965 Suzuki Models were ready. This ad is another out of the batch that wanted to demonstrate that there was a lot of things that could be done with a Suzuki. In this picture I can see at least five men who are riding Suzukis around a field, swinging wickets or bats or something like that, at a round ball and, I assume, they are trying to put it across or into the goal. The headline says, "Watch it! Suzuki are here" and, then it says, "Smashing. What spirit. It's this spirit that makes Suzuki superior to conventional lightweight motorcycles. More exciting. And we can prove it. Suzuki are international Grand Prix Lightweight Champions. They have more usable horsepower. They start easier. Run quieter. Are simpler to shift. More comfortable to ride. Best of all, Suzuki are here: 12 different models, $245 to $589. See your dealer. Whatever you do, be sure and write to us for a free copy of our exciting new booklet, 'The Cycle Story.' It's all about types of bikes, engines, financing, insurance, etc."
