Suzuki T500

Motorcycles and Powered Two- and Three-Wheelers

The Suzuki T500 was a 492 cc, two-stroke, twin-cylinder motorcycle built by the Japanese Suzuki company between 1968 and 1975, developed as a larger version of the T20 to compete with the large British twins in the American market. At its introduction it was Suzuki's largest displacement machine, and over 100,000 units were sold. It was sold under several names, including T500/Five, Cobra, Charger and Titan, after Ford/Shelby and Dodge objected to the first two. Its over-engineered engine earned a reputation for reliability, and a restyled GT500 followed in 1976 before being dropped in 1978. A racing version, the TR500, was developed for Grand Prix.
