Other than the gearbox, there was no real change for the better in 1973 through to 76. In 1976 we saw the Suzuki factory finally make some significant changes for the better, well overdue and as usual with Suzuki, some bad always accompanies the good. | |||

1975 was the last model year for the Suzuki T500. It was replaced by the [[Suzuki GT500|GT500]], at a glance the same bike with just a letter G added to the model name. But the GT500 was an improvement on the Titan featuring a bigger tank, electronic ignition and a front disk brake. | |||
