The frame looks like a Yamaha YG1 (early 80cc,rotary valve).
     Heres a pic of a YG1.
I think I have a service manual for that ;D
1963-71 rotary valve singles


Suzuki T20 is 200cc twin.
The tank is a Yamaha one as Suzuki (usually) used a round badge with just the stylised  'S'
It's probably been impossible to get left silencer for years which is why it just has straight pipe.
Never seen a trail version before but I know a man who may have.
I'll e-mail him and get back to you

wasn't the T20 the Super 6 250cc, the 200cc was the T200 as I remember, both were twins.

          I don't remember what the actual model number of the mid 60's 250 Suzuki twin was. All I remember was that it was called the X-6 Hustler and I found out first hand why it was called a Hustler. I got my wheels blown off of my 66' CB72 (that was slightly modified) more than once by one of those. And every time, I'd go do something else to my Honda to try to beat him and each time I'd get a little closer. I got desperate and bought a wrecked Kawasaki 350 Avenger and a Yamaha rolling chassis and was going to build a bike to take on that Suzuki and, as luck would have it, I got my orders to ship our of Japan and come back to the states. Sold most of what I had cause I wasn't authorized to ship that much and I didn't have time to take the bikes apart and ship them home. :( Sorry, kinda got sidetracked there. ::)

Super 6 was It's name in the UK, it had a 6 speed gearbox, yes it was very fast for a 250cc many were used over here for racing.
