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.
This 1980s classic has formed part of a private collection for a while. Originally a German market machine, it returned to the UK in 2016. Presenting in ‘good order’ it has had little use since purchased. It has been running this year but it will need light recommissioning before use. It comes with a current V5C, DVLA paperwork, and a VJMC certificate.
