The RG500 sports bike became the most successful bike of the day.

Suzuki continued to dominate the motocross racing circuit in 1970, winning the World Motocross Championship in 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975 and 1976. Given the new stringent emission standards, Suzuki suffered some pitfals 1976. However, they were able to successfully redesign their four stroke models to comply with these new regulations. The new models also sold very well.
