Suzuki started producing bike engines in the 1950s and soon became one of Japans biggest motorcycle manufacturers
Trading partly under the Colleda brand, they entered GP racing in the early 1960s
By the mid 1960s they were racing under the Suzuki banner and started to gain a reputaion for relaible race winning machines
During the 1970s, they reinforced their race-winning reputation with Barry Sheene winning two World Championships in 1976 and 1977 on RG500s
This European-winning machine was ridden by successful Italian racer, Leandro Becheroni, in 1981
Presented in good overall condition, has been on display for last year or so, so would require recommissioning before use
Restored to its current condition and complete with various documents from Leandro Becheroni including invoices and photographs
Painted in its current blue and white when restored from its original red and yellow scheme
Great opportunity to own a genuine historic racing Suzuki
