The latest issue of Mitch Boehm's Moto Retro Magazine has a good in depth 17 page article plus a cover shot on the RH67.

I bought a twin port barrel for one of these models about 4 years ago, planed to find the rest and gave up, I got offered a complete one, too much money for me.

Brent, Wes would never say even if it was :D

Green Machine, the reason there are more RH67 barrels than bikes in circulation is simply because the bikes were sold with a spares kit that included a barrel amongst other things. Being a Suzuki and so ultra bulletproof the extra barrels were never needed ;)

What a nice bike  :)
I may never own one and that may be a good thing for those who restore these classics, rather than someone like me who just has to ride everything I have into the ground  :D
But my TM125 vinduro project will be painted in RH colours, about as close as I will ever get to having one.

Hi Doc,  I wonder what they would be like to ride, they probably weight a lot, does anybody know the spec`s on these bikes.

In the era they were a winner. Preston Petty rode one with much success.

Always amazes me how these kinds of bikes keep popping up in the US from time to time.Serious bidding for a cool piece of vintage history. :)

Crazy money. I know Doc will disagree but as cool as they are, the RH67 isn't a very good bike and as rare as they might be, I'd rather spend my $23k on something a tad more exotic. Dave Tanners RN 400 would be a better buy and would leave you with enough change to buy a 490 Maico, a nice trailer and a bottle of Chanel number 5 for the missus..

No disagreement here Firko ;)
