Suzuki introduced an assembly line to its factory in Hamamatsu in 1958. Three models were manufactured that year: the SM-1 Suzukimoped, the 125cc Colleda ST with 8 bhp and the new 250cc with 18 bhp, all single cylinder two-strokes. The 250cc twin, made in smaller quantities, was no longer manufactured as the production of the motorcycles was rationalized.
The 250cc TM was the cheapest Colleda model available in 1958. It used the powerful parallel twin engine from the Colleda TP (haven't got any info or pictures of the model yet) and was a practical bike to transport goods with.
