Congratulations to Mike Campilongo of Orange for winning Bike of the Month with his 1986 Suzuki RG500.
Mike won a plaque provided by Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys.
Mike bought this bike in 1987 with 1200 miles on the clock. About ten years ago he completed a full restoration.
In the 1980’s Walter Wolf Racing and Suzuki Motor Corporation Japan cooperated on a project which saw Suzuki produce limited editions of Walter Wolf Racing branded Suzuki motorcycles. Pictured below is the 1986 RG500 Walter Wolf Special – a very limited, very distinctive edition of the 500cc Suzuki machine. A Walter Wolf model was introduced, available in dark blue, red and gold colour.
Walter Wolf World
This bike is a square four cylinder two-stroke engine, with two pistons in the front an two pistons in the rear.
The bike has many after-market parts:
Performance Machine Brakes
JMC Swingarm
Astrolight Wheels
Suguya Pipes
Fox Rear suspension
This bike is definitely a head turner. Mike has many more bikes in his stable, I sure hope he brings more to our meet.
Thank you Mike for bringing your Suzuki out for all of us to see. See all the photos in our November Gallery.
