On Sunday, June 19, Suzuki riders provided more
proof of what is quickly becoming an accepted factSuzuki Wins! This time Suzuki won in two entirely
different types of competition. AMA professional
road racing and Southern California sportsman TTscrambles.
Carlsbad Raceway near San Diego, California
was the scene of the road racing action with Ron
Grant guiding a modified Suzuki X-6 Hustler winning
over the finest production racers from Italy and
Japan. Most of the competition in this event came
from men mounted on machines built strictly for
racing. Grant's Suzuki was only a well-tuned street
cycle, yet it whipped them soundly. "It's nice to
have horsepower," Grant said after the win.
Fulton Jr. won again, beating the same type of
motorcycles that Ron Grant did. Mounted on a modified Suzuki X-6 Hustler Walt beat the best of the
built-Cor-racing-only competition. This is the same
young rider and the same Suzuki that did the job at
Daytona National in the novice class. Walt and his
Suzuki are virtually unbeatable.
In the Prado Park TT scrambles (how about that
Cor fast transition, Sports Fans?) the 250cc Expert
class was dominated by one man and one machine Jim Bassey and Suzuki! With a stripped-Cor-the-dirt
Suzuki X-6 Hustler, Jim won the hotly-contested
250cc Expert class and then went on to take the
lightweight sweepstakes at the Cast, Winding tum
course near Corona, Calif. Here again much ofJim's
competition was riding bikes that had been built
strictly for this type of racing. See Cor yourself.
Special racing motorcycles can't keep up with the
Suzuki X-6 Hustler - - how can their street bikes?
Why don't you test ride a Suzuki and prove it Cor
yourself (and your Criends!) just how fine a motorcycle it really is?
Ron is an Expert, with all the experience - racing ~
savvy - - that the term implies. He rides to win, and
he rides Suzuki. Could you choose a better machine?
It only takes a few modifications to make the Suzuki
X-6 Hustler beat a factory racing motorcycle, it
stands to reason that the Hustler is only loafing
when you ride it at top freeway speed. It is quicker
in the 1/4 mile than many motorcycles of much
greater displacement! Eighty-four miles per hour in
15.3 seconds from a standing start.
In the novice class at the Carlsbad Event, Walt
--
FAST AND FURIOUS ROAD RACER - - ROUGH
AND TUMBLE SCRAMBLER -- SMOOTH AND
SWINGING STREET BIKE - - they're all the same
machine , SUZUKI X-6 HUSTLER.
