Suzuki Other description

        1974 Suzuki T500 Titan   
This is a No Reserve Listing   

Hello, I am selling my 1974 T500 Titan. I have owned this bike for 10 years. This has been a wonderful addition to my collection, but another child on the way forces the sale. I purchased this motorcycle from a General Motors Engineer in Detroit were he had it stored in a heated garage for most of its life. 

The engine was completely  rebuilt as of two years ago by a certified motorcycle mechanic using all N.O.S Suzuki parts at a considerable cost. There was nothing wrong with the engine. It had been running summer after summer without any issues. I just felt it needed to be gone through to be on safe side of things. The carbs were also rebuilt,New clutch pack, New Battery, New higher output coils, oil changed and the C.C.I oiling system was cleaned and checked, and then it was put into storage were it has sat until these pictures were taken today. The new engine only has about 200 miles on it and runs great. The 2 miles you see on the odometer were from my ride today. 

I pulled the Suk. out, threw some new gas in it and it fired on the third kick. The carbs should be cleaned and will most likely need to be re jetted for the new owners location / elevation. 
The chrome has some pitting here and there. The paint on the tank has some cracking from age. 
The taillight lens and one rear blinker were damaged in storage.  
 
Overall this is a great driver, not a show bike. You get a lot of, Man I haven't seen one of those in years, and many other  interesting conversations about other peoples lives with two stroke street bikes. 

Included with the sale:

A file folder with receipts and documentation
Two copies of the original owners manual  
Blinkers and Mirrors   

Shipping will be at the owners expense. I don't have a problem assisting with pickup. As far as crating I can build one, but it will be at the new owners expense.  

Thank you for your interest. I hope someone enjoys this bike as much as I have.

Piaggio, Suzuki Hit with Fines by CARB

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

The California Air Resources Board has agreed to settlements with Suzuki and Piaggio for selling motorcycles that the companies did not disclose could be modified to exceed the state’s strict emission standards. Suzuki was hit with the larger of the two penalties, agreeing to a fine of $3,020,000, though the amount could be reduced by $1,812,000 if Suzuki follows certain provisions. The penalty is in addition to the previous fine of $885,000 levied by the Environmental Protection Agency for selling 25,396 LT-R450 ATVs and 62 RMX450Z dirtbikes with a racing map programmed into their ECUs that was not certified or tested. This racing map is not initially accessible to customers, unless they buy aftermarket devices to unlock the higher-performance engine mapping.
