Introduced in 1965, the Suzuki K15 Hill-Billy was a 7.3 horsepower, two-stroke, 80cc, on/off road motorcycle requiring premixed fuel and oil. It featured a luggage rack, high pipe, skid plate, and swappable on/off road sprockets. Dry weight was 155 pounds. It had a top speed of 38 mph with the trail sprocket and 60 mph with the street sprocket. It was marketed as an economical work horse and an all-around fun machine. Apparently, white clothes didn’t stain in the 1960s.
