1975 Suzuki RE-5 Rotary

Owner: Allan Tucker, Barbados
Comments: ÓI've been busy with all sorts of bike related things in my spare time so i thought I'd show you this item I picked up recently.
It's a '75 RE5, complete with the rare pipe extensions and red rear 'softball' indicator lenses. Even the firemist blue is all original paintwork.
The RE5 looks pretty good for its age and a bit of cleaning/refurbishing will make it look newer, especially the engine side cases so that's in the works.
It was my best used bike purchase to date for rarity, for once i scored a good one and not a basket case LOL.
I hope you can use these photos on your website.Ó

| Top: A Japanese model, Tomoko San, on Rodney's bike in Brooklyn, New York in August 2008. "I work with Asian people a lot and therefore have access to models for my bike photos. I am thinking of the old advertising brochures for those bikes produced around the 1970's. So in a way I am trying to recreate that kind of look with Tomoko San and the other girls I have photographed on my other bikes too." |

1970 Suzuki T 350 II Rebel

Owner: Rodney Dickson,
New York USA
Comments: “I looked around for a 1970 Suzuki T350 for a long time. All T350s are rare but I could over some months find one or two of the other models, but I held out for the 1970 and eventually I found one on Ebay.
It had been very much messed around with, disc brake front end had been fitted and almost everything was in bad condition. I did not start out with the intention of doing a total restoration, I would have been happy with a clean stock looking runner.
However, when I started replacing parts it just kind of developed into a bigger job than I had imagined. Parts were hard to find but I got many of them from Paul Miller and on Ebay. Other parts I could not find so I had the original rechromed or repainted.
The motor gave me trouble too as I wanted to get it running perfectly. So I had the crank rebuilt and everything else checked out too. The biggest problem has been with the carbs, getting them jetted correctly, cleaned thoroughly and sealed to be air tight were they join the the cylinders.
Now the bike is finished it is pretty much like new, not of course exactly like new as nothing is unless it is new. I would say it is a very nice T350 though.
To be honest, I am a bit dissappointed in the performance of this bike. It is nice to ride and has some very usable low down power and I love the sound but not very fast in comparison to the Yamaha R5 or RD or Kawasaki S2 Ñ all of which I also own.
As we know, this bike was only 315cc and not the full 350cc of it competitors. Also, I feel it was designed as a tourer and not a full sports bike, so for this reason it is not very keen to rev. This means it has very good power low down and in the mid range, which is good for touring, but it soon goes flat when it gets on the revs.
 My other Japanese 350 two strokes of that era are all happy revving bikes and would have more speed for that reason. Also the 6th gear on the Suzuki seems to be a waste, as it will not pull that gear with any enthusiasm, so constant down shifting is necessary to maintain road speed.
I feel the Suzuki T range were old bikes when they were new as the basic engine design came out in the mid 60s with the X6, so already by 1970 it was kind of outdated. Whereas, both Yamaha and Kawasaki had new models to offer. I think it is the lightest and smallest bike of 350 class at that time and this is nice and does help a little bit with performance.
Anyway, the Suzuki is beautiful looking and possibly the best looking bike of that time.”

1989 Suzuki GSX 600 ES

Owner: Lasse Kangas,
Helsinki Finland

Comments: ”Here`s couple of pics of my GSX 600 ES '89. The bike is in good condition and it doesn't look that old that it actually is, paint is still good andthe 4 into 1 exhaust looks nice.

It should have an 4 into 2 exhayst system but this has been replaced as well as the mirrors and the rear wheel (120 in front and 150 rear).

It is 20 years old but can still reach almost 200 km/h when needed! It has 60,500 km on it.

It was imported from Italy to Helsinki Finland where I live. It is probably quite rare because I`m not able to find any information of it on Internet and it would be great if somebody could help me find a service manual and the small upper part of the windshield. I`m interested of it in any colour.

The GSX600ES has a 581 cc engine, not 572 cc like the GSX 550 ES. I don`t know the maximum power of the engine, I'd guess it's more powerful than the 572 engine.

The previous owner told me that it is based on the GSX550ES, not GSX750ES but he didn't know much about the model.

The bike is cheap to use and it is enough for my neighbourhood use. Actually I like it a lot! If you know something about this model please send me a mail! My e-mail address is lasse.kangas@sff.fi.”

1978 Suzuki GS 1000 HC 
Owner: Klas Raas, The Netherlands 
Comments: This bike is from July '78, that's on my papers but it doens' say exactly what model it is.
I think it should be also 'CÕ because itÕs from 1978. If IÕm looking at the wire diagram I always use the 'C /HC/HN modelsÕ page because this fits exactly with my bike.

The letter ÔNÕ or model HN is from 1979 but my motor already exist in 1978 so that could not be an option.

Also other wire diagrams like the EC-model of that same year of building donÕt fit.

The first models where with spoke wheels, but IÕve all ready a model with cast wheels and
also my frame number starts with 50. In my opinion I should have the GS1000 HC model from 1978.
What is the H is standing for? I have a chain drive, a single break disc at the rear and 2 break discs on the front, the original color should be blue.”
GS 1000 HC and EC differed from the stardard GS1000C model by having five-star aluminum cast wheels and air-dampened front forks. The European version also had air/oil-dampened rear shocks.
