- In this video you will see a reborn of Suzuki RG 500 racing motorcycle, which was awakened after many years by my friend Majo. It is a racing motorcycle, which is called as the greatest premier-class GP bike of all time.
Many thanks to all bikers and motorcycle fans who contributed their videos to our motorcycle channel. If you have a motorcycle at home that you built yourself, or an old, interesting or unusual motorcycle that you would like to show, please send me short videos from your camera or mobile phone to: We Transfer - jawatinomoto@gmail.com
I will process your videos and publish them on our motorcycle UA-cam channel - Jawa Tino - Авто та транспорт
It was sad to see the two strokes removed from MotoGP. They made for amazing racing.
A crime. They should be put up against the ....
Love two-strokes...my buddy had a 84(?) Gamma and kept getting speeding tickets...I have a couple of Yamaha 2 strokes from the '70s and a Guzzi! :))
What a treat, thank you.
I even envy the starter getting that bean oil smoke loveliness
Proper choice brother! What an icon! Magic stuff, thankyou so much for such interesting content.
Remember reading classifieds in bike mags in the late 70s, early 80s as a kid. TZ250s, 350s, 750s and rg500s where common every month. Reasonable prices too. We obviously had no idea. The NS500 changed that. Everything about it was hysterical in price. Never saw one in the classifieds. Just parts. Like a crank costing more than most superbikes at the time.
I have never liked Honda, not even for a second.
I ❤ the 2 Stroke Sound 👍💪😎
The best sound...
I believe the final year RG 500 used reed valves in place of discs. Love this channel 👍
Yeah, I noticed the considerably larger size of those intake passages compared to the lightweight Suzuki and Kawasaki machines back in the '70s. That reed valves came to prevalence for intakes was a surprise to me.
The good materials weren't there to make reed valves much of a success back then. Better materials came along in the 80s. Reeds tend to give a better spread of power than discs
which tend to be all up at the top end.
Ein ganz heißes Eisen dies Maschine nix für mich aber trotzdem sehr faszinierend
Guy operating the starter: i am deaf and cannot breath, whooha :)
Magnificent! If only we had smell-o-vision...
Цікавий екземпляр, дякую за відео !
👍👍👍
Lovely bike
Barry Sheene and Mike Hailwood sure used it to great effect. However, Yamahas and Hondas were right up there with it. Just ask Mick Grant, Phil Read and the late, great Jaarno Saarinen. Even the MVs were competitive against this type up to 1974. It had some great competition.
what a motorcycle! thanks for sharing this.
*I had a 1989 RG500 'C' Series Pepsi Suzuki one of the last made, (Frame Number HM31 106277 no 873 of CH Models) and rode it hard including Track Days at Oulton, Cadwell and Mallory Park but was classed as up to 1000cc Class, managed to keep up on corners, but Honda's Blackbirds beat me on acceleration - however finished 3rd so considered a Win at Cadwell Park ! However sold it eventually as it was either going to Kill Me or get Nicked for Speeding to a Guy from Sweden at a huge Profit Today in Mint Condition [as mine was] with low Mileage worth in excess of £20k and appreciating rapidly no doubt ! - I Did a trip from the UK to Switzerland including all [or most] of the Alpine Passes and the Bike was a dream and cruised at 65 mph in 6th gear at around 3500 rpm with ease !*
Thanks for sharing this beauty.
You must be proud to own such a thing.
A holidaying Norwegian mechanic bought one in Australia and it was stored in the shop I worked at. It was a two stroke lovers dream bike. Pretty close to perfection. Maybe this model, I dunno.
what a Beauty ❤️
A marvelous machine, BTW Earles suspension had quite the opposite braking effect.
*Mike Hailwood's Career saw him take 76 Grand Prix victories, 112 Grand Prix podiums, 14 Isle of Man TT wins and ten world championships. !*
I sat and watched the Suzuki team mechanics work on this bike at Mallory park, they were like ants all over it between heats in the transatlantic trophy when Sheen was riding it and racing against Kenny Roberts Snr on the Yamaha. . if it wasn't this exact bike it was very simular, think it had the texaco herron livery,
Sync those carbs
We know about it. This was the very first test start. We are already working on it.
@@jawatino3797 So cool! I noticed the slides looked a little off from each other, cool to hear you guys are on it already!
Помню такой в журнале Мото.
Beautiful ❤️ machine 👀👍
Its wonderfull
Rozruch jak w starym DT75 :-)
nice clip 🔥
Song sounded like reworked Doors...Riders on the storm
Wow i dident know they looked that spory back then amazing ill bet that thing goes good better then you wouuld think for 50 year old bike i see old harly 900 sporsters go fast so this thing is probly fast
Possibly "my friend Majo" is the operator here?
i wonder why they abandoned the white rims in the gp's
A few points wrong.. the square4 nothing to do with width, it was wider than the Yamaha inline 500.. it was the only way Suzuki could use disk valves in a 4.. & Suzuki's developments were all about disk valves, reeds weren't their yet.. it sure was a cheap winning setup though.. the MVs of the 60s were a nicer machine & scored more wins & chamionships.. the Guzzi V8 & Honda NRs more tech
It WAS a golden era to live through
The East German MZ could have matched this machine with continued development.
You have to smoke a packet’s worth a packet of capstan full strength to start it.
Is it me or are those carbs aren't even close to being in sync?
Good catch! Seems like there is definitely slack in the cables, b/w front and rear slides.
Given that it's freshly rebuilt, maybe not a surprise. Probably needed a final tune and fettle all round, which I assume was why it didn't get a spin around the yard!
I wondered if this was on purpose to spread the power band which was violent in 500 cc 2 strokes , or any racing 2 stroke for that matter
@@kevinoneil7532 No, you don't get the luxury of progression with these things. They need to be set up razor sharp, to give the rider the fewest surprises.
Although, that was part of the rationale behind the later generation strokers, with 'big bang' and 'two bang' and so on, but that was achieved by altering firing order and variable ignition timing.
Melosucki il delaio
But Yamaha was first and more successful...
