• Interesting ‘barn find’ T500 classic racer project
• Crooks cylinder heads , Electrex World ignition
• Delugged frame, some spares, new Scitsu tacho

Two stroke engines formed the basis of Suzuki’s road bike range until the late 1970s, with models like the T20 Super Six and T500 setting new standards for performance and reliability and forming the basis of the TR250 and TR500 factory race bikes. The TRs were heavily based on the contemporary road models so many people made their own replicas, very often incorporating a few tuning parts and specifications from the official racers with the T500 becoming the mainstay for privateer riders right up to Grand Prix level.

This 'barn find' classic race bike, being offered at no reserve, is based on a mid-1970s T500/GT500 model. It comes, unfortunately, from a deceased estate so not much is known of its history. An unfinished project, the bike looks to have a standard frame that has been delugged and braced, alloy rims and a 380/550 disc front end with a Grimeca caliper and Falcon shocks at the rear. The cylinder heads look to be sandcast and marked 'Crooks', the carburettors look bigger than standard and it is supplied with a brand new Scitsu tachometer, expansion chambers, Electrex World electronic ignition, a box of spares and a TR500 style tank and seat. It represents an interesting project to either finish and recommission as a classic race or parade bike or form the basis of a TR500 road bike replica.
