Update 2.19.2016: The seller has decided not to sell at this time. Contact information removed. -dc Today’s Featured Listing is one of our fire-breathing favorites, the Suzuki RG500Γ “Gamma.” The Gamma is a bike from another era, a period of wild experimentation we may never see again. Certainly we’re seeing almost unimaginable leaps forward today…
Although it lacks the lean and crisp looks and GP-specification of the later RGV250, the Suzuki RG250Γ Gamma makes up for it with classic styling that closely resembles the bigger RG500. The paint scheme on this example is very subdued and the low, shorty pipes are strangely modern, making for a surprisingly contemporary look considering…
Update 11.9.2015: Back on the market and with a lower opening bid. Good luck to buyers and seller. -dc As new, unrestored, low miles, mint – we have all seen these phrases accompanying motorcycle classifieds. Rarely does a factory GP replica survive 30 years with only 3,200 km. and without a mark. The low number…
Unfortunately, today’s tasty little two-stroke Suzuki RGV250Γ SP is short on photographs. It’s another of the raft of recent imports from Japan, and details are scarce, but the price may have you reaching for your mouse anyway.

Built between 1985 and 1987, the Gamma was the race-rep to have, with 498cc of displacement and fierce power delivery. While its 94 or so horsepower seems unimpressive today, the bike’s dry…
There are race replicas and then there are race replicas. While many bikes are intended to ape the look and style of racing machines, they’re usually more of a paint-and-tape affair, with few aspects under the skin to link them with their inspiration. That’s not the case with the RG500Γ Gamma. Powered by a 500cc…
Look, I’ll be honest. There are basically two reasons I like writing about Suzuki’s two-stroke sportbikes. One, they’re pretty funky, like this RG500Γ Gamma you see here that sports an engine with a very rare square-four configuration. Two, I get to use the cool Greek “Gamma” character which, along with the umlauted “O” for “Öhlins”…
If you’re one of those RSBFS fans who turns up their nose at bikes of questionable pedigree, you should probably stop reading now. Or make sure your keyboard is all warmed up for the inevitable flood of vitriol that will inevitably spill forth once you’ve finished reading about this particular Suzuki RGV250 VJ23 replica. The…
