The professional seller offers for sale this 1974 Suzuki T500, powered by a 500 cc air-cooled two-stroke parallel-twin engine. The T500, known in some markets as the Titan, was introduced in 1968 and became one of the most successful big two-strokes of its era. Suzuki’s 500 cc twin was valued for its strong torque, its simple and robust construction and its relaxed long-distance manners, and it remained in production for most of the 1970s. It built a loyal following among riders who wanted a big, uncomplicated twin.
This 1974 example is finished in metallic blue with gold pinstriping on the tank and the distinctive “500” side covers, combined with a black ribbed dual seat carrying the Suzuki script. The chrome exhaust silencers, the spoked wheels, the round headlight and the classic twin-gauge instrument cluster give it the period look that makes the T500 so appealing to collectors of 1970s Japanese motorcycles. The odometer shows 14747 miles.
The motorcycle comes with Canadian papers, and the seller states that all import duties and VAT have been paid. According to the seller, the motorcycle needs to be started up before use, so a check-over after standing is advisable. For anyone who appreciates the sound, smell and character of a classic two-stroke twin, this T500 offers an accessible way into the hobby.
