This brochure depicts the domestic Japanese model of the 1965 US Marusho ST and shows the differences - painted front fender, low bars, re-positioned mirrors, turnsignals, Lilac badging, etc. The reverse illustrates the V-twin models that Lilac expected to sell, but virtually none of these bikes, developed before Lilac went bankrupt in 1961, were assembled and sold while the 500cc was being produced.
