The Suzuki T500, variously known as the Suzuki T500/Five, Suzuki Charger, Suzuki Cobra and the Suzuki Titan during its model life, is a 492cc, two-stroke, twin-cylinder motorcycle produced by the Japanese company between 1968 and 1975. The T500-II of 1969-70 came in Candy Gold with a Suzuki "S" badge on the tank.


On offer is a late 1969 Suzuki T500 that was supplied new the following year. Purchased by the vendor as a restoration project some ten years ago, work had been carried out on the frame, tank, and side panels by the previous owner. It appears that he never touched any other components on the machine. The vendor set about restoring the rest of the Suzuki from 2014 until around 2020. There is a host of invoices for parts and work carried out. Peter Hammond Motorcycles Ltd. of Cirencester performed the engine overhaul (invoice on file) at a cost of £1,900 alone. The vendor has used original parts where possible and even sourced some from America. It was originally painted Candy Gold, a rare colour scheme today. The previous owner wanted it black, however. The T500 is up and running but has not been used much in the last two years. It comes with a current V5C and a host of invoices
