Ooh! That's as cool as a YZM500.
-
Looks like a1987 or 1988 RM 250 frame based on the removable subframe and the way the chain guide guard bolts to the frame,it's a cool bike -perfect for the NZ Pre 91 class eh Bill ! :D
-
Pretty sure Suzuki had a factory 500 team in 84 and the bikes were all water cooled ??
-
looks like front calliper mounting bracket is welded on, rather than part of casting.
-
It's a later model frame guys definitely 1987 or 1988 production RM 250
-
I want it! J

What year would this have been, with Vromans on the watercooled 500 factory Suzuki ? I thought 1984, as it doesn't even seem to have disc brakes. There was a close up picture of one of these bikes on facebook recently and I wish that I had saved it.

A bit of info on works RN 500s, I worked on 1983 Models in 1984,
the Factory stopped Racing at the end of 1983 although they produced spare parts in 2 advance orders early and mid 1984,
they were single downtube frame with offset intake and exhaust, most 1983 bikes were air cooled, Harry Everts was allocated a couple of watercooled bikes, the bike featured for sale, unfortunatley has little in common with 1982 to 1984 works RN500s.

Another pic of the watercooled 500 Suzuki with Harry Everts . The earlier picture that I posted incorrectly had Vromans as the rider, as this was how it was captioned when I copied the picture.
-
That's Vromans he was 2nd in 1982 to Lackey hence his number in 1983,both he and Everts had watercooled RN500"s from around mid season on.

I am after one of the RN500 rear guards as in this photo
Different to the RM

There must have been other riders that got to use watercooled 500 Suzukis, apart from Vromans and Everts, as this picture suggests ?
-
Harry's only a little bloke, old mate on the 500 is a big bloke. ;D
-
I think that is Vromans on W/C RN500, there was only a handfull of them made.
at the end of the year the bikes would have gone to S. Gebeors, where most of them went.
Rinaldi may have got a hold of one of them after end of 1984
GB, that was a good day at Raymond Terrace!
-
It was a great day at RT.
Do you know the guy in Germany selling the RN motor and forks?
-
Does anyone have a close up of a water cooled RN 500 motor?
-
I dont know what this thing is ? :-\
At first it looked liked an RN, but I think it is someones mock up.
Not sure what the motor is ? LT500 ?

thanks IMO its an aircooled RM converted to watercooling by someone with skills within a Suzuki Team with access to a few goodies.
Probably done in 86 or 87
Nice
-
Yeah as son says it's a home built water cooled top end. Looks to be in a 84/85 250 chassis.
-
82 RN500 Tank
84 Radiator covers
But the rear disc just looks later
anyway I like it
-
Built by jan geboeers Eric's brother I believe it's got some cool parts on it but is damn ugly IMHO

Yes the rear disc is later but it's a 84/85 full floater chassis..

Thanks fellas.
Clever engineering going on then, converting an aircooled to watercooled. 8)

Someones Brad Lackey replica in 100cc form. This was at a Marty Tripes event.

There are not many pictures about of the '83 watercooled RN500s. This one is of Harry Everts bike (#12) at the '83 British GP tech inspection / weigh in.
-
At the start of this vid shows a good shot of an RN83 as well.
