The 1976 Suzuki RG500 Mk 1 was derived from the XR14 works machine that took Barry Sheene to two consecutive World Championships in 1976 and 1977. The new machine featured a "square" four, two stroke engine with 56 x 50.5mm dimensions equipped with disc valves fed by four 34mm magnesium Mikuni carburettors. The power unit was equipped with a six speed gearbox and "stinger" expansion chambers and housed in a tubular steel frame which was designed to carry the engine oil, although the vast majority of machines ran with a petrol/oil mixture following the removal of the oil pump. Laid down rear shock absorbers controlled the rear end, the front being fitted with 35mm forks. Suzuki brake callipers dealt with the braking and alloy rims were fitted front and rear.
This example is offered in original, unrestored condition, it was last used at the 1998 Assen Centennial meeting.
