One of the all time greats in classic Japanese motorcycle history, the Suzuki T500 showed the world that a big displacement 2-stroker didn’t have to overheat. It was considered one of the most reliable motorcycles built in the 60s, but it always took a back seat to Honda’s CB450. This was the biggest of Suzuki’s T-series bikes, with a 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?
