==1956==

A 250cc twin, Colleda TT with an American style design was launched in 1956. The picture above shows the model shown at the '99 Tokyo Motor Show (the historical section).

The Colleda TT is the predecessor of all Suzuki 250cc 2-stroke twins, including the T20, T250 and GT250. The air-cooled engine had a square 54 x 54 mm bore and stroke, the same as all of the models just mentioned. It also had new ”modern” floating swing arm with shock absorbers at the rear but the leading front fork design makes one to think of the early BMWs.

The slightly modernized Colleda COX-II was presented. The only difference I can spot on the pictures, in lack of technical info, is that the canter stand seems to made out of thinner material and a mudflap was attached to the the front mudguard.

A new version of the Colleda ST was launched with a modernized engine, now delivering 7 hp. Even the 100cc Porter Free had a more powerful engine in 1956. The Colleda ST-II received a same sort of fuel tank than the COX, making to models look even more like each other.
