The basic configuration-water cooled, 2-cycle, square four rotary disk valve of 500cc capacity
Suzuki's first world champion in 500cc Grand prix competition, only
three years after it's debut. The thoroughness of the RG500 design
overwhelmed its competitors.

Equipped with the Hydraulic Anti-dive fork and full floating suspension system, the functional operation of the RGB500 was further enhanced, greatly increasing rider comfort and control over the machine
Representing a second reconstruction of the original model, the RG Gamma is considerably more compact than its predecessor. 16-inch front wheel disproved the critics
New framework of square aluminium tubing reduces weight, improves riding stability; thus this years model is even more refined
