1973 Suzuki TS 400J APACHE / HUSTLER
The TS 400J Apache is not just a revamp of Suzuki's previous big-bore dual purpose machine. It's also a radical departure from accepted enduro bike design principles. The "L" model is wider, higher, stouter, guttier, quieter and faster than before. While up-dating the Apache Suzuki didn't just shuffle paint schemes around and change model designations.
