Roger DeCoster's
1973 world championship Suzuki, the RN73 is now
available on a PHOTO CD. Over 200 Hi-Res photos of
nearly every possible angle of one of the most
historical motocross bikes of all time. Out of all of
Roger's 5 world championships, 1973 was the
toughest. The 1973 500 world championship was a
dramatic series as DeCoster over came many
challenges including a very tough battle with Willy
Bauer. The series climaxed in the final moto of the
final race in St. Anthonis Holland with DeCoster
clinching his 3rd world championship on this very
bike. This bike is one of two works RN 370's that Roger used that
year and the only one left in existence. It is the
bike Roger used at Carlsbad (the first USGP) and it is
preserved in remarkable unrestored condition just as
it came off the race track in 1973. Even the grips
are original and still have DeCoster's special mod
at the thumb area on the throttle side. Not one drop of
touch-up paint has been added. To see it in person
after so many years is almost surreal. This Photo CD
is the next best thing!
This CD is
the result of a project that took over 5 years. The
bike was taken to several locations in several
states and the best of over 5000 photos were
selected for this CD. Revealed for the first time
are pictures of never before seen things such as the
cylinder porting, the bike with the tank off showing
the frame, inside the airbox that was so secret in
the day. Included are photos of the special sand
tank made the night before the final race by Lucien
Tilkens (inventor of the monoshock) because the
standard works tank didn't hold enough fuel to last
40 minutes plus 2 laps in the sand at St. Anthonis.
Also, photos of some of the special experimental
works shocks Roger used during the 1973 season as
long travel suspension was just being developed.
This is a very comprehensive collection of photos of
one of the most celebrated bikes ridden by one of
the best riders in history.
The photo files
are so large (some over 7 megs) that you will be
able to print large poster size photos for your
office or garage. Most of these photos will never be
used or seen in any publication and be exclusive to
this photo CD.
