When Suzuki introduced the T500, it was one of the most reliable motorcycles of the decade. The 500 was the biggest of the Zook’s “T” series model line, and this example looks fantastic with a mild cafe treatment and repaint.
The 492cc engine that produced 47 horsepower, capable of getting the T500 (also known as the Titan) up to 105 miles per hour. In a world where two-strokes were all about dramatic power bands and quarter mile times, Suzuki tried to build two-strokes that were suitable for everyday riding, or even touring. Want to learn more?

This bike (VIN: T500-77024) has 30,691 miles and I love the way it looks. The carbs have been rebuilt and it has a new chain, battery, and tires. The panels and tank have been repainted in the original color and pinstriping, and you’ll get the stock seat in addition to the tail that’s currently on the bike.
