RE: suzuki 250 square 4
I was only looking at an article this morning, dated June 1964. In addition to Perris and Ahearn, they were ridden by Bert Schneider and Hugh Anderson, though I don't think Hugh rode them very often.
They were christened "whispering death", by Ahearn.
I would imagine that Suzuki have one or two tucked away in their museum.
I would have thought that they were miniature RG500s.

A bit off topic. I have a picture from the paddock in Isle of Man 2007, the Centenary TT. It's a 250 V-four. As far as I know the factory destroyed all the old racing machines and this one is a replica I believe. The model is called RD05A and that model was raced in the middle 60s. Well I know that this is a Yamaha but still it's 250 four!

Don't be that optimistic! The light in the tunnel can be a train. Sad
