Colleda

Suzuki Loom Manufacturing Company presented the side-valve powered Colleda 250 TT motorcycle in May 1954, the first real motorcycle from Suzuki. The singlecylinder 90cc 4-stroke engine developed four horsepower and ran quite smoothly, thanks to its heavy fly wheel, attached to ignition magneto. No drivers license was needed at the time for riding the Colleda 250. The Japanese government had recently decided that no drivers license were longer needed to ride a bike with an 4-stroke engine up to 90cc or a 2-stroke engine up to 60cc.
