1967 - 1972 Suzuki T 250 HUSTLER
The T250 was manufactured from 1967 to 1972 — and sold in some countries even a couple of years after the model was discontinued. It was replaced in most countries by GT250 in 1973 (in Japan already in 1971), another 250 twin with its roots in the T20, but with a single brake disc at the front and a new kind of cylinder head that was supposed to channel cooling air down behind the block (called Ram Air System by Suzuki).
