1986 Suzuki RG500 Gamma. The last of the 500cc street 2 strokes. This is the rare Wolfer Wolf version.
The RG500 Gamma was one of the fastest bikes of its time. Even today the power of this square 4 two stroke engine can humble bigger machines of larger displacement.

The Gamma had a great motor, but some handling Mod's are needed to keep it under control
This Gamma incorporates many handling changes including Astro-Lite wheel, 17' front and back and a JMC swingarm, both out of the U.K. |

The RG500 Gamma
Wolf Racing pipes are used to open up the power. Only 50 set of these light weight pipes were ever made. They have a unique power delivery. They hit hard on the power around 7,800rpm's and then hit again even harder at 9,500rpm's. The motor will pull to 12,000rpm's. Other than the pipes and carburetor changes, the motor is stock and never been apart. It was plenty of power like this. |
