1975 Suzuki year code: M

RE5 Rotary 1975 Owner: Magnus Hallme, Stockholm Sweden Purchase date: new in 1977 Modifications: cast alloy wheels, fairing, luggage carrier. Comments: ”It's like riding an elephant; it's heavy, reacts slow etc. The engine is not a racer but compared to other engines from that time it has great torque. The fuel economy is OK — 6 to 10 liter per 100 km. The oil comsumption lies around 0,5 liter per 100 km. The engine sound like a lawn mowner, listen to the sound file.”
