Suter Mmx 500 Road Legal

Only 46 are built and the price is $144,000 plus taxes, freight, duties, etc. Since this also includes 19% German taxes, it will cost nearly $200,000 to land and prepare our routes. The mission of the Suter MMX 500 was to be the first of its kind to be publicly available on the open market. It is unique in that it is a MotoGP, 576cc, four-cylinder powered 2-stroke road race. When the Swiss-based company broke the news of the Suter 500 MMX, there was great speculation that it might hit the road, but unfortunately, this artwork is not legal on the street. Is it a dream that one day we will have two times allowed on the roads again? Probably, but we can hope, right? In the entire history of racing, there has never been a two-stroke 500cc road racing machine available to the public. Only a small amount of factory machinery was produced and leased to GP racing teams. Of course, the MMX 500 wouldn`t be worth its money as a racer if it hadn`t made headlines at the Isle of Man TT, the pinnacle of all road racing. Ian Lougher is an icon in the world of road racing, known for 8 wins in the North West 200, 10 wins in the TT and another 32 wins in the Southern 100. The Suter MMX 500 seemed like a strange concept when it was released.

As a 500cc two-stroke machine, it was neither road-legal nor suitable for a large number of championships. The road homologated bike is based on Valentino Rossis` winning 500cc bike at MotoGP in 2001. While Honda produced the quarter-million-dollar RC213V-S four-stroke MotoGP replica, Germany`s Ronax and Switzerland`s Suter Racing took the retro two-stroke route. A few years ago, the immediate reaction would have been, no, there`s no way we`d see 2-stroke bikes in good condition again; All we can hope for is that those who still have the RD500 and TZR250 will take care of it, so we can still look back on the good old days. The company had originally planned to produce only 99 bikes of this type and was exclusive as always. However, since it was over $130,000, only 18 of them were built. However, the serial number is #69/99 because Suter gave the 18 owners the choice to choose any number between 1 and 99. What for? Well, the world`s oil reserves are dwindling and the world is in a hurry to reduce emissions, the traditional two-stroke engines of yesteryear were pollutants and so they have disappeared, except for racing events.

Well, Wayne Gardner (legendary Australian GP driver) took out the Suter and it scared him. Please contact Suter North America for availability, prices and options. As for my New Year`s resolution, forget about quitting smoking. I should comb more pages like this! The maneuverability is exceptional and it will throw into corners as low as you like and then spit you out of the corner with poison. While the best components are used as standard, the buyer also has the option to upgrade even more if they want things like lightweight rims or electronic mapping software. “These are ADR-compliant standard devices, but they ordered the sports equipment with the bike,” he says. “It`s up to the owner to decide if they want to customize the kit or not.” It was breaking news when the announcement of the Suter MMX 500 race was announced, with the Swiss company claiming that the race would be a testing ground for the technology they have developed to reduce two-stroke emissions and make them viable as everyday engines again. That didn`t stop players from lining up to get retro GP speed, a hoarse exhaust note, and incredible handling. It features a six-speed cassette gearbox, dry SuterClutch clutch and custom aluminum CNC double frame and swingarm developed by Suter, which compete in MotoGP and World Superbike.

– Sky`s The Limit: A 250cc motorcycle just broke 155mph! Interestingly, the last owner of this bike sent the engine to Suter for maintenance, who has now updated the bike`s engine maps, making the crazy performance performance easier to manage. This is supported by the bike`s 0.68-mile (1.1 km) odometer on the entire race dashboard, presumably the mileage after the new engine board came into play. Front: Brembo GP4-RR 36/32 Brake caliper 320×6 mm Brake disc coils Master cylinder machined diameter 19/18; Rear: Brembo P4.24 caliper, brake disc 218×4 mm / milled master cylinder with integrated reservoir, diameter 13 mm. (Brake improvements available) Due to the hot weather, he was very fast this year and Peter Hickman won the race with an average speed of 131.7 miles per hour on a BMW S 1000 RR. Kawasaki is working on a supercharged two-stroke engine with a crossplane crank and a brand new engine called CTIS by inventor Basil Van Rooyen, which will delight many people. Meanwhile, the order deadline for the Honda RC213V-S has passed and Honda Australia Motorcycles spokesman Glyn Griffith said they have “secured several units”, all in the tricolour livery. Unlike the RC213V-S and Ronax 500, the MMX 500 is only intended for track use. It is also worth mentioning that the sale will include many additional spare parts (you can check the list here), as well as paddock holders and all original papers. Two-stroke enthusiasts around the world want to own such a racing machine. Suter Racing heard their call. They dedicated themselves to building a limited edition of the first 500cc factory 500cc two-stroke V4 motorcycle for the public.

They were so worried that we ended up with a displacement of 576cc. Who could blame them? The Ronax 500 is powered by a 119kW 119kW 119kW fuel-injected two-stroke V4 at 11,500rpm, but weighs only 145kg (dry) with its aluminum chassis, aluminum swingarm and carbon fiber body. Thus, almost none of these bikes ever reached the open market. The Suter-MMX2 is a prototype fully developed for the Moto2 World Championship. This is the result of our successful involvement in the Moto2 Championship, culminating with 3 consecutive Constructors` World Championships from 2010 to 2012. In addition, Marc Marquez won the world title in 2012. Only the best parts are used and the know-how is second to none, the body is made of carbon fiber with the fuel tank, which means that the bike weighs only 127 kg. The Suter MMX 500 is powered by a 576cc V4, two-stroke unit with double counter-crankshaft inspired by the same technology used on Moto GP machines. The maximum power of 189 hp is 13,000 rpm, 5 horsepower behind Valentino Rossi`s NSR 500 of 2001, which earned him the world championship. It comes with a 6-speed cassette transmission and fuel injection. With a maximum speed of more than 310 km/h. The top-of-the-line engine is complemented by a racing chassis (Suter`s specialty) that jumps on the top-of-the-line Öhlins FGR forks and Öhlins TTX shock absorbers, both fully adjustable.

This is connected to the Brembo front and rear brakes that work together with the lightweight OZ wheels. Punya is a motorcycle enthusiast who is always ready to go to the gorge or the race track. He insists that his driving skills are better than his writing skills, although he has collaborated with world-renowned automotive websites. Nor is it a donor engine stuffed as part of the business like a Christmas turkey. The MM X500 is THE real thing. (Suter is a frame specialist and is used to riding in Moto2. You made the swingarm of the BMW S 1000 RR HP4 Race.) The power is immense and the front wheel just wants to fly, he said, the wheel was flying vertically upwards, and it was the first time he almost turned a GP bike or a 500cc. Suter Racing Technologies (SRT) is recognized among enthusiasts as one of the best chassis suppliers in the world. SRT products include the Suter MMX2, which was developed for Moto2. Marc Márquez won his Moto 2 title with an SRT bike. The Swiss motorcycle manufacturer`s collaboration with Kawasaki and BMW also led to the brand`s entry into MotoGP.

In the meantime, the current owner has never ridden the motorcycle and simply displayed it. This author needs a New Year`s resolution soon. I should quit smoking. Well, that was before I stumbled upon this used 2017 Suter MMX 500 two-stroke road bike for sale on a website that lists rare sports bikes. Front fork: Ohlins FGR300; Rear suspension: Ohlins TTX36 (suspension available.) However, the fun parts are all hidden under the carbon fiber skin. Starting with the heart of the matter, the Suter MMX 500 is powered by a 576cc two-stroke V4 engine that delivers just under 200 horsepower to the rear wheel. The engine is connected to a complete Akrapovic exhaust system, which produces a symphonic exhaust note. We have already done a report on the Suter MMX 500 (please click here for more details). To warm it up again, Eskil Suter and his guys who thought about quitting smoking 2T exhaust fumes but never did. So they built this bike.

There`s no traction control, wheelie control or launch control, no fancy electronics, just a really brutal two-stroke GP rider you could own if you have the money. The company knew that the 500cc class of the Motorcycle World Championship was the best of the best, it was a time of impressive lightweight motorcycles with a maximum of four cylinders capable of reaching exceptional speeds. Perhaps the final position of the MMX 500 never really mattered, as the announcement that Suter would be racing was enough to grab the world`s attention and get people excited about the potential of GP-style two-stroke riders.
