Newbie
Hi,Just joined,been riding since 1974,don"t know i have managed to survive this long,lol. Started off on Yam rd"s,250,350,400 and kwak triples till early 80"s then big jap 4 strokes for next 38 years,then in 2018 a marine blue Yam rd400c found it"s way into my garage,same model as i had new in 76 and this has rekindled my passion for two- strokes,hence the reason for me joining.Time has come for a two-stoke companion for the rd and a t500 is top of the list.Ashamed to say never had a Suzuki two stroke,so going to rectify that soon hopefully.The search has begun and as soon as i have my big 500c twin there will be lots of questions for you guys. Cheers Steve
rd400c,z1a,z1b,xjr1300sp and a t500 Hopefully

Welcome to the asylum Steve (top left screen corner) do a search for T500 and there's lots to go on.
Proof that four strokes are over complicated

Re: Newbie
Welcome Steve nice range of bikes you have owned there ! T500 is a good choice and some guys on here have done a fine job restoring them so know most of the answers. Good luck with your search and post some pictures when it arrives
