The Suzuki T500, variously known as the Suzuki T500/Five, Suzuki Charger, Suzuki Cobra and the Suzuki Titan during its model life, is a 492 cc (30.0 cu in), two-stroke, twin-cylinder motorcycle produced by the Japanese Suzuki company between 1968 and 1975. The model was developed as a larger version of the Suzuki T20 which was intended to compete with the large-capacity British twins in the American market. When itroduced it was Suzuki's largest displacement machine. Overengineering of the engine led to the bike gaining a reputation for reliability, and being virtually bulletproof. A total of over 100,000 units were sold during the model's production.
This wonderful patinated Suzuki T500 is all original with the vendor describing the condition as ‘very good’ with just some light surface rust here and there. The paintwork has held up very well for its age. On the second kick the current owner started it with ease and it sounded ‘good’. It comes with a V5C various paperwork and old tax discs from 1974. A host of paperwork including invoices from Heron Suzuki. A true time warp.
