When did the Suzuki PE400 twinshock racer come out?
As for the air-cooled / twinshock PE400, it made its first appearance in 1980 but had totally disappeared from the Suzuki brochure by 1982. It probably comes as no surprise to you when I say the main movers & shakers at Suzuki America were a major force behind the idea of a big bore PE.
When did the Suzuki PE start in the UK?
As you may or may not know the Suzuki PE story started around 1976, at the time HERON SUZUKI ran the show here in the UK but didn’t have any interest in the off-road sector so the job of looking after all things motocross & Trials was given over to BEAMISH.
Is the Suzuki PE400 a one off motor?
The PE400 motor was pretty much brand new, a one off, made from the ground up. You come up against the same problem when trying to source parts for the chassis, lots of things look similar to the ones used on the RM400 but again very little is interchangeable so double check part numbers before purchasing spares is my advice.
