1971 Suzuki T500 Titan review from United States of America
"I will never sell this motorcycle"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
This bike leaks a bit and smokes like a two-stroke should.
General comments?
This bike is unique from its sound to its construction.
My good friend gave me this bike and we rebuilt it up from the ground. We bought parts from other T500 fans, as well as eBay, and I painted it at my friend's shop.
I decided not to keep it all original, so I put on drag bars with a small billet mirror. I also used smaller turn signals.
There are three of us who ride T500s together and we have a blast on our smokie two-strokes, turning heads.
