At the time of its introduction in 1967 the Suzuki T500 created a sensation. With a claimed power output of 46 bhp from the piston ported twin, the new machine proved to be capable of matching the best 650 four strokes in performance. Braking was of an exceptional standard and the electrical system, which included indicators, and finish were of the highest standard. The models fine attributes provided the basis for a competition version that was campaigned by the factory with considerable success, particularly in AMA events which required production homologation and resulted in private individuals converting road versions as offered here.
The machine offered is fitted with Ceriani forks and front wheel. The engine is reportedly to standard specification although expansion chambers are fitted and the machine is fitted with a full fairing, competition fuel tank, racing single seat and clip-ons.
