1966 Suzuki T20 “Super Six” | X6 Hustler
Last week Rick and I got a call in the shop from a lady looking to get rid of an old bike that had been sitting in her in her garage for the past 40 years. She wanted to mail us some photos but instead we decided take a ride out to her place in Mt Airy to check it out with the hopes of finding something awesome. We were a little disappointed to find a Suzuki… but this little 250cc 2-stroke is pretty rad and apparently was pretty unique back in its day.
Some interesting facts about them:
– Only produced between 1965 and 1967
– 29 hp @ 7500rpm
– 6-speed transmission
– First tubular steel frame from Suzuki – all previous were pressed steel
– Left side kick starter
– 0-60mph in 6 sec
– 15.1 1/4 mile
It’s a little rough but should clean up nicely and make for a fun bike.

Mostly z1’s, kz900 and kz1000s. A couple Honda and Suzuki in there. Pics are shitty low res. whatever. Pretty cool to see how they set certain things up. I recently added a lockhart oil cooler to my z1 and set it up in the normal spot above the headers and ran the lines over the […]
wow, got a lot of potential. jealous.
The X-6 was fast in their day. I have one in a barn somewhere I need to dust off and ride. If you need parts let me know, may have what you need.

Interested in selling it someday?

That tank is impressive.
That’s slick…great find!
Yes, Ed I still have the rx. Had some issues with rotten rubber connectors in the turbo plumbing but that has been fixed and running well. I don’t drive it that much and should sell. Will keep you in mind if you are interested.
IF you decide to ditch that old clock let me know! Ive been trying to snag one for a loooong time.
I have trans problems and I am looking for parts if anyone has leads. the bottom case has an old repair under the shift spool. bike is near perfect must fix!

Bringing up and old thread but figured I would try.
Just purchased a 1966 hustler and I’m in need of a few parts if anyone has any. In particular I could use a left side battery cover and front fender.
Have a Super Six barn project with half an extra bike in spares for sale.
My own since way back. Love the bike, unfortunately dont have time for it.
(In Denmark, Europe)
mail me at racmeister at gmail dot com if interest.
Cheers

I Have a 1967 250 x-6 hustler scrambler pipes that I’ve had since 1969. It was my first street bike. it’s still in very good shape although I haven’t started it in many years its not locked up and even the tires from way back in the early 70’s when I went in the service are not weather cracked and aired up.
Oh Yea, It was or is a bad fast ride. I remember when it kicked into the power band I had to lay on the tank to keep the front end down. It was fast.
HI, DO YOU HAVE A SPARE CABURETOR AND PETROL TAP BEST REGARDS NORMAN
I had one in high school,fun bike to ride and in the day would surprise many bigger bikes with it’s performance.wish I had one today!
