This Spondon RGTZ500 is a rather special bike, between 1989-1992 it was raced by Gerhard Vogt with a Suzuki XR71 V4 engine in it. This was the only private XR71 at that time. When Gerhard stopped racing the rolling chassis was sold to Jürgen Plaschka who mounted a Suzuki RGTZ500 square four engine in it with Bartol Yamaha 4dp cylinders, Mikuni TM35 carbs and a GHN gearbox. Jürgen raced it between 1994-1999 in the German 500cc championship and was often the best Suzuki between the ROC and Harris Yamaha's. For more pics see
