Suzuki RG500 Gamma Motorcycle - Street (1984-1987)

The Suzuki RG500 Gamma, a legendary two-stroke sport bike, was produced from 1985 to 1987, following its public unveiling in late 1984. Renowned for being a close replica of Suzuki's Grand Prix racing machines, it is powered by a liquid-cooled, 498.5 cc (often rounded to 498 cc) square-four two-stroke engine with rotary valve induction. This engine delivered 95 hp at 9,500 rpm and 71 Nm of torque at 9,000 rpm, fed by four 28mm Mikuni VM28SH flat-slide carburetors. Throughout its production from 1985 to 1987, the RG500 Gamma maintained remarkably consistent technical specifications. While minor modifications were implemented, primarily to enhance reliability (such as beefed-up second and sixth gear ratios in the first year), these were not considered significant mid-cycle generation or engine changes. The core design, chassis, and overall performance characteristics remained largely unchanged. The primary model offered globally was the RG500 Gamma, with an RG400EW variant for the Japanese domestic market; no other distinct trims were available for the global RG500 Gamma. FAQ:
