The Suter MMX 500, dubbed the Legends 500

Marks a new chapter in the World GP Bike Legends story.

The Suter MMX 500 is a reliable bike that retains the tarmac-shredding soul of the original machines that inspired it. It is undoubtedly a tempting prospect for bike collectors and fans alike, and what’s more, there are some substantial racing benefits to purchasing the Legends 500.

The inaugural World GP Bike Legends event held at Jerez in June 2015 showed that the passion for 2-stroke machinery is stronger than ever, and while the original bikes that wowed millions of fans around the world are growing ever more valuable and scarce, the stunning new Suter Legends 500 will provide all the sights and sounds at a fraction of the cost and without the risk to the irreplaceable originals.

The legendary riders are lined up and ready to race, and with the Suter machinery in evocative period livery, World GP Bike Legends events in 2016 will be louder and more spectacular than any other race meeting on the planet!
