Wolfgang von Muralt

This time a topic about a man who probably raced the most different types of Suzuki RG500's. He raced on RG500 and RGB500's, with alloy and steel frames, on different types of Nico Bakker RGB's, steel and alloy framed, on the factory XR70 and also on the TGA1 and the last years on the carbon fiber Ciba Geigy XR70. He did this with the help of Swiss Suzuki importer Frankonia. He also was one of the last persons that raced the RG500 in the GP's.

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.
