Some drivers quickly become myths, even regardless of their successes. The life of Barry Sheene is a story of overcoming, success and disappointment bathed in glamor and fame worthy of the best of screenplays, very similar to that of the equally famous James Hunt. The Briton became 500cc World Champion twice in 1976 and 1977. His charisma and dedication made Barry Sheene the first mass idol in the world of motorcycling with his mythical 7 on the bike and the Pato Donald in a helmet that had a hole in the chin so he could smoke on the grill. In 1978, despite winning two victories in Venezuela and Sweden, he was unable to repeat the title, having to settle for second place in the 500cc world championship.
The Suzuki RG 500 saw the light for the first time in 1974, competing in the world championships until 1986. In addition to Barry Sheene's drivers' titles, he achieved two more in 1981 with Marco Lucchinelli and in 1982 with Franco Uncini, in addition to six titles as a manufacturer (1976-1982). In total, the Suzuki RG 500 won fifty World Championships races, some at the hands of its official riders, but also a few by private riders.
