Suzuki RG50

The Suzuki RG50 was produced in different versions from the late 1970s, one of them, the RG50 Gamma, being a sport variant. Both were powered by a two-stroke, single-cylinder engine of 49 cubic centimeters and had a six-speed transmission. The Gamma, built from at least 1986 through 1990, was water-cooled with better suspension and a racing exhaust, was rated at over seven horsepower and reached motorway speeds of up to 120 km/h, while the non-Gamma bike had a top speed of about 60 km/h where power was restricted by law. Dry weight was typically about 62 kg. In places such as New Zealand it was a popular choice for bucket racing because it was light and easy to tune.
