1986 Suzuki RG 500 Gamma

1986 RG500 Gamma

Here we have a clean example of the venerable Suzuki RG500 Gamma for sale. Gammas have frequented this site before, check out some prior listings here. This bike is from the Canada and it appears to be in good condition. The Gamma sports a square four 498cc 2 stroke motor generating 94 HP in stock trim, although the owner claims to have a dyno run showing 108 HP on this model.

Riders have been using these bikes for virtually every purpose under the sun, sport/race is the obvious way to go, but people have sport toured these bikes and there is even a naked street fighter version out there.

Personally, my favorite thing to do with this bike is rip the motor out and stuff it into a RGV250 chassis, but hey, that’s just my opinion. Some outstanding conversions of those customs can be seen here and here (see “ultimate RGV”).

Principal modifications consist of Jolly Moto pipes and forks from a GSXR 750. An excerpt from the seller:

The 498cc square four two-stroke engine is unrivalled and unbelievely light. Handling is simply incredible. The unique Posi Damp forks can be pre-adjusted to suit load, road surface and riding preference; the Full Floater rear has been specially constructed to give you superior shock absorption and power delivery. Stopping power is terriffic. the perfect motorcycle to control 95 horse-power. (mine is aroung 108 HP) you have to pass dyno to know exact HP.

This RG 500 with original 18000 km / 12000 miles was kept in a dealer place for the last 7 year since this year. Exaust pipe cost $3400 ca, front fork was change from GSX-R 750 and the clutch is new. Brake, tires are perfect. Motor is perfect with full compression, thebike was tune-up and just pass full inspection at Quebec SAAQ #6878390. I also put Originale from flasher from Europe. The side from light are there to fill the hole of the big flasher that was there before. The back flasher are from FZR6. The paint is original except for the buttom of the gas tank that also are small buble aroung the gas cap.It start on first or second kick.Everything on the dash, light, sppedo,rpm work perfectly. Investment to make this RG500 the way, is more than $7000.00 that was done (Front fork, Pipes, Clutch, Motor, Tune-Up etc). So the new buyer can enjoy driving it. I was having a lot of two stroke since 1985 and this one is driving better then any other rg that i drove before. I also have the passager seat in perfect condition that include in the auction.

Street Legal and plate. I am in Qc, Canada and i will help to ship it every where is Canada or USA.
I can ship the bike to anyplace in Canada or USA.

The bike is titled in Canada and I am not sure how the title transfer process works. I concede the condition appears to be solid (the bike sat for 7 years); however I am left scratching my head regarding the asking price. The opening bid is close to market, if not a little high, but the BIN is stratospheric considering this is a relatively pedestrian version (not a bad thing) and the miles are not particularly low.
