Wanted: Suzuki color sales brochure for '75 T500M

[frappy]

Am looking to get a nice copy of Suzuki's color sales brochure for my '75 T500M. Thanks

Here you go....in the nice Coronado Blue metalflake colour....and from Suzuki Canada, yet !!! Back in the day, these brochures were done up as two models, one on either side of a single sheet....to save money obviously. Not that it's of any help to you but I have the single sheet of the 1974 GT550 on one side and the GT750 on the other side.
The scan of the T500 looks to be very well done....maybe 600 dpi or even 1200 dpi.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post, Rick. I was actually unclear in my post and apologize for that mix-up. What I am looking for is an actual paper copy of a brochure itself. Either that or a high-res electronic copy would work well too.

Reason for this request is that our club is featuring the T500 as its "signature bike" this year at our annual show/swap and we always make a related t-shirt to commemorate the event. The generous person who makes the t-shirts for our club solicited members for a high quality print or electronic copy to use as his base-art. He wanted to use the brochure because it has the white background behind the bike, and that feature makes it much easier from which to create artwork. He is a friend who lives near me, we ride together and he knows I have a T500 (he's in fact even ridden it - one of the few persons I trust that much). Ultimately, I would really like to purchase a T500M brochure to keep for myself, if someone here on the Forum has one for sale.

However, the more I think about it, all we really need is a good high-res picture / or brochure scan of any nice T500 ('68 on up) on a white or nearly white background.

Anyone that has something to share/sell can respond to this post or PM me and we can work out the details. Thanks again. Regards - Dane

Can't help you with the photo, but I'm pretty sure there might be a few folks on this board interested in buying a t-shirt when you have them available If you do decide to offer a few via mail order, put me down for one !

Dane, I'm not sure if I have anything like that in my archives but I'll take a look. Failing something from me.......
One person that SHOULD have what you need would be Muzza. I'm sure he has numerous Titan brochures and would not be averse to making a high-res scan of one of them for you. He's usually a pretty obliging guy. PM him through this board and see what floats back.

oldjapanesebikes: I'll post a pic of the T-shirt when they are ready. Of course, everyone is welcome to come to the show and swap. It is at the Gold Country Fairgrounds in Auburn, CA on 4-5 June 2011. All vintage Japanese iron show / swap, bike corral, vendors, food, sunset ride. Presented by the Classic Japanese Motorcycle Club http://www.cjmc.org. I hear in addition to some early Corbra's, all years of T500's (including mine), there's also going to be a black GT500B there too.

H2RICK: Great idea. Thanks. I'll do that if nothing surfaces soon. Still would like a nice T500M borchure for myself some day...
