1978 Suzuki RG500 Mk3

Suzuki RG500 Mk3The crackling, popping and smoking square-four Suzuki RG500 race bike was made famous by Barry Sheene and Steve Parrish, who used it in their battle against Kenny Roberts‘ Yamaha. There’s a pristine example on display in the brilliant Vrrooom Motor Bike Design exhibition at Kunst Industri Museet, the Danish Museum of Art & Design. The show runs until 15 March, so there’s still time to book your airfare to Copenhagen.
