Those pipes on Number 19 look just like the Microns on my bike, but longer stingers, did they build em or copy them I wonder. Aaah the heyday of motorsports...

Suzuki RG500 Gallery

[Graham E]

Well done Rob, some of my favourites.

[Graham E]

The RG racer was as collector says first seen in 1974, Sheene, Smart, Findlay raced them in GP's, in 1975 it was called I think XR45? and was full factory bike ridden by Barry Sheene, Teppi Lansivouri at GP's, in 1976 it was then called the RG500, the road bike of mid 80's was a copy for wanna be Sheene's, Mamola's etc, because Yamaha brought out their road "race copy" the RD500 for wanna be Kenny Roberts's in 1982/83?

[dennisw]

Love those RD350LC's in the paddock waiting for the mayhem of a PRO AM race.
