RG 500 GAMMA.

RG 500 GAMMA.

More than a decade of racing experience in over 100GP events. Seven championships in a row in 500 C.C. world-class GP competition. Countless hours of testing,  research and refinement. This is the pedigree of the Suzuki RG 500 Gamma – the newest dream machine to carry Suzuki’s colours on the international sport cycling scene.

Suzuki engineers set out to achieve four basic objectives with the RG 500 Gamma. To deliver superlative performance in a 500 C.C. engine. To promise the rider uncompromising comfort. And to package it all in a motorcycle of stunning good looks. They succeeded… beyond question!

The RG 500 Gamma engine will raise a lot of eyebrows in motor cycling circles. It’s big (498 C.C.s worth). It’s powerful (95PS at 9,500 RPM). Yet people will wonder how come it’s so remarkably light in weight and so compact in size.

The answer : its square-four configuration. This two-front-two-back layout reduces primary vibration to a minimum. So less renforcement is needed in both engine and frame..and that means less weight, less bulkiness, greater rider comfort.

Suzuki’s new Automatic Exhaust Control helps to deliver smooth, quick power across the complete rev range by automatically adjusting exhaust chamber volume. Also contributing to superior performance is a new high-efficiency cooling system, along with Suzuki’s rotary valve induction system.

The flat-side carburetor is designed to produce the optimum mixture instantly, and works in tandem with rotary disc valves to provide instantaneous power for roads or racing.

So this is the square four. Amazingly responsive. Surprisingly light. And competition-proven in better than ten years of testing under fire!

Now let’s tals handling- and with the RG 500 Gamma, it begins with the frame. This all-new design uses special alloy aluminum throughout, - one-third the weight of steel – fabricated in a unique strong, multi-rib box-shaped cross-section. There’s not a superfluous ounce of metal in it!
