Michael Jackson and the RG500

Michael Jackson was an RG500 owner!
In 1988 Gary Taylor flew a Suzuki RG500 over to Italy where Michael did some concerts. They heard that he was a motorcycle fan so the RG500 was a present. Taylor said Michael needed the most exiting bike ever made!! In between the races Kevin Schwantz and Rob McElnea visited his opening concert in Rome.
Does anyone know where this bike is today?? If so please let me know via my contact page on this site!
