The Suzuki RG 500 or "Gamma" is a two-stroke sport bike that was produced by Suzuki for just two years between 1985 and 1987. The RG 500 was directly based on the series of Suzuki RG 500 Grand Prix motorcycle with almost identical features to the official two-stroke machines used by Italian world champion Franco Uncini during the 1984 season with the Gallina team. The RG 500 won two consecutive riders' championships in the 500cc class. Like its GP forebearers, the road-going RG was powered by a naturally aspirated, rotary-valve inducted, twin crank square four two-stroke engine displacing some 498cc. This engine employed thermostatically controlled liquid-cooling by means of a front-mounted radiator.
Offered here is a nicely presented Suzuki RG500, a Japanese domestic market model. Having been purchased by the current vendor to enjoy, sadly, due to a previous accident, the vendor has now realised he cannot use the RG500 as he had wished. Benefitting from a service some 20km ago, the machine received new pads, new tyres and other sundry items. We have been advised that ‘E396 MAS’ is running well and ready for a new owner to enjoy. There is a current V5C on file with receipts for service work accompanying at sale. The vendor has very kindly taken the side panels off for all to see.
