HIGHLIGHTS
- Genuine U.K. motorcycle
- Stunning show standard restoration
- Matching numbers
- Very low mileage performance two-stroke
- Ready to ride or display
THE APPEAL
Marketed by Suzuki as “Six-speed dynamite!”, this lightweight two-stroke was the first production bike to offer a six-speed gearbox, and in December 1966 and 1967, became the first Oriental motorcycle to be voted machine of the year by ‘Motor Cycle News’.
Following its launch in 1965, the T20 was Instrumental in the development of performance 250’s and was capable of hitting almost 100 mph. Ahead of the curve, a mouth-watering specification list also assured its popularity as the Super Six in Europe or X6 Hustler elsewhere.
With a low competition-style stance, this highly original U.K. specification Suzuki looks absolutely amazing in every detail and would make a great addition to any collection.
Restored in recent years, the radiant blue paintwork and shining chrome really stands out, and looking at MOT records, we can see that it has only been ridden some 1,960 miles since 2006.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
