Motorcycle museum record
The T500 showed that a large two-stroke twin could be durable enough for everyday and long-distance use while still delivering the lightness and performance associated with the engine type.
Museum plaque
An important early export success and a bridge from Suzuki’s small two-strokes to larger international motorcycles.

Why it matters. An important early export success and a bridge from Suzuki’s small two-strokes to larger international motorcycles.
Technical identity
This first expansion records museum-level specifications rather than pretending every year and market used one immutable specification.
Research starting point
Model-year specifications can vary. The museum keeps the stable historical interpretation here and leaves room to add exact variants, racing derivatives, engine codes and source-specific specifications later.
