Suzuki RG500 sidecar racer

Found some great pics of a very rare RG500 powered sidecar racer. This is actually the first RG500 sidecar that I have seen. It was raced in the GP's in 1979. The chassis was made by Klaus Sprengel of alloy plates he bought from Louis Christen (LCR). The RG500 is a works engine with Bartol cylinders.

When Team Heron sold the Ciba Geigy bikes

At the end of the 1986 season the Heron Suzuki team sold the Ciba Geigy bikes. They were no longer competitive and Suzuki was busy with a V4, the XR71 (1986) and XR72 (1987). Gerhard Vogt from Germany bought most of the bikes and some others went to the Swiss Suzuki importer Frankonia Suzuki and were ridden during the 1987 and 88 GP seasons by Wolfgang von Muralt. After that they also went to Germany.
