Suzuki Other description

This is a blue 1975 Suzuki RE-5 Rotary in good running condition with 17,948 miles. Only around 6,300 RE-5'S were produced. Suzuki commissioned Italian industrial designer Giorgetto Giugiaro for the RE5 styling. The "tin can" instrument cluster encompassed the usual lights and a low-fuel warning light, total loss oil tank light and digital gear indicator. The tubular "can" motif was also used in the tail light, and spherical indicator lights finished off the "rotary" theme.

The engine is a 497cc liquid-cooled single rotor Wankel rotary engine. The engine has two oiling systems, two ignition systems and even two cooling systems. All of this, it turns out, is necessary to keep the rotary engine happy as it runs from idle to speed; the cooling systems — one liquid and the other oil — keep the rotary from self-destructing from the heat it generates. Primary power transfer to the clutch and transmission is by duplex chain. There is a hesitation when you get on the throttle fast. 


The original paint is blue and black with normal, minor wear and signs of its age. There is a noticeable scratch on the gas tank (shown in pictures). The green "can" is slightly cloudy due to age. It has a pod that flips open when you turn the key which is original to the RE5. The RE5 offered handling unlike that of any Japanese motorcycle of the era, and is ready to ride.

The bike is located in Indianapolis and we encourage inspections.

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

KTM rookie Ken Roczen captured his first 450 class win in the AMA Supercross world championship, taking the season opener at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif. An audience of 45,050 fans watched a clean race from the rookie while errors by veterans like James Stewart and three-time reigning champion Ryan Villopoto knocked them out of contention. Villopoto had a strong start, taking the holeshot and leading the first eight laps, just like the Kawasaki rider had done so often the last few seasons.

2014 AMA Supercross – Phoenix Results

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

Kawasaki‘s Ryan Villopoto nabbed a hard-earned first victory of the 2014 AMA Supercross season, overcoming a poor start that saw him ninth after the first lap for the win. The three-time reigning champion found himself well back after the first corner as Yoshimura Suzuki‘s Jake Moss took the holeshot ahead of Yamaha‘s Justin Brayton and the KTM‘s Ryan Dungey. Brayton took over the lead by the second corner and would stay in front for the first 13 laps.

Dropped Suzuki Dealerships Represented Only 2.5% of Retail Sales

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

American Suzuki raised some eyebrows after news broke yesterday the company was cancelling franchise agreements with numerous dealerships in the U.S. The company was already under close scrutiny after making the bold decision to quit selling cars to focus on powersports when it filed for Chapter 11 in November. Reducing its dealer network appears to go against that idea, at least on the surface.
