Anderson was a factory Suzuki rider. I hadn't heard about a five cylinder Suzuki 125. Things were getting fairly "out there" before the FIM put the brakes on, I can see reference to square and V four 125s and a 50cc triple ffs, but no five cylinder 125.
Don't recall seeing Anderson ride one of his factory bikes here but he may well have. Through the fog of time I do seem to recall seeing Jim Redman parade a Honda 250cc four around Pukekohe.
