We started a racing team after the Suzuki TR500 was finished. Of the TR500 few remained. I have started with a standard engine and a ditto frame, that literally was pulled out of the clay. The objectives were to build from a wreck T500 to a factory specification TR500. That was harder than I thought. And so the search started trough routes and channels (also by way of internet) to the correct data, specifications and parts. The beauty of the story (that knows of course many ups and downs) is that, when the machine was in its final shape, I could buy an original TR500 manual, and what turned out ? ? I had made a good decision. But first some pictures...
We race with the team on different International circuits. We especially race on the circuit of Spa-Francorchamps and on the Nürburgring.
I have won the third place on the international Kölner Kurz grandprix at the Nürburgring.
