Motor De Dos Tiempos: Suzuki RG 500 (Spain)

This entry has been published on November 13, 2013 and links to eBay may have been updated to point to similar bikes of interest.

A few weeks ago I was in Mallorca on a short break. I walked into a small tapas restaurant (Manolo’s Bodega). The walls inside the tiny place were covered with photographs. Many of them pictured people on motorbikes and track days. One caught my attention, it was of a guy sitting on a RC30. So I asked, who is the fellow? That’s my brother, the girl in front of me replied. It was 1 a.m. and so her brother, who happened to be the cook, was sitting in the same room, having a drink. We ended up talking endlessly about motorbikes. Spain is now on top of the motorbike world. Marquez just secured a historical title and Lorenzo who, by the way is from Mallorca, came second, and Pedrosa finished 2013, third. The first Italian, a man called Rossi, was only fourth. Italy used to be the ruling country in motorbike racing, at least in the smaller categories, for many years. But now, just like in football, Spain is king. And so, for the aficionados who might read us from the beautiful Iberic peninsula, and related islands, here is a treat in your honour:
