Motorcycles and Powered Two- and Three-Wheelers

The Suzuki RG500 Gamma was a two-stroke sports motorcycle made by Suzuki from 1985 to 1989. It was based directly on the RG Gamma 500 Grand Prix machines, almost identical to the bikes Franco Uncini rode in 1984, and the GP bike won riders' championships for Marco Lucchinelli in 1981 and Uncini in 1982. The road bike has a 498 cc rotary-valve, twin-crank square-four two-stroke engine with thermostatically controlled liquid cooling, an aluminium box-section frame and a Posi Damp anti-dive system. A smaller 397 cc RG400 was built and sold alongside it in Asian markets, where its capacity and 59 bhp output complied with a restricted Japanese licence.
