From a 1981 advertisement:
The Suzuki SB200 wil get you to work without ever running out of puff
Its two cylinder, two-stroke power plant has the poke you need for tough trips.
Equally important, its simple to maintain and service – no valves, no cams and no complex parts).
Another comforting thought: with a 197cc engine, you shouldn’t have to fork out much for insurance.
With a 4-speed box, telescopic and oil damped suspension, you will arrive at work feeling happy, human and rearing to go.
