The Suzuki Motor Co. was established in 1909 by Michio Suzuki to produce machinery for the cotton industry. An initial diversification into 4 wheeled transport was curtailed by WW2 but after the war Japan had a need for cheap reliable transport so Suzuki, like a lot of others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. These proved to be an immediate success and soon they were making full motorcycles and by the early 1960s were second only to Honda in numbers of two-wheelers manufactured. The RG250 revolutionized the sports 250 market in 1983 producing over 45bhp but weighing in at only 130kg. The Gamma was the first mass-produced motorcycle to have a lightweight aluminum frame and it went on to dominate production racing over the next few years.

This RG250 Gamma has been part of a large and fascinating collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. The vendor has enjoyed searching out examples of more or less all of the bikes he either owned or wanted in the day, but after amassing over 30 assorted models, from a Honda MT50 through to a couple of Bimotas, he's decided to downsize his collection. The bike is offered in original condition, a rare thing for a model that was made to be used to the limit, very often on the race track, including standard '1670' stamped silencer boxes and is fitted with a single seat converter. Last run a couple of years ago, see video, it will need some recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a current V5C.
