1988 Suzuki RG500 Gamma

Registration No: E551 WAT
Frame No: HM31AXXXXXX106294

• An original British-market RG500 with only six keepers from new
• Believed-genuine 22,000 miles on the odometer
• Sold with documentation back to the 1990s

Introduced in 1985, the Suzuki RG500 Gamma was one of the most authentic of the 500 Grand Prix replicas, with many features in common with world champion Franco Uncini’s 1984 race bike. Faster, lighter and nimbler than its Yamaha or Honda equivalent, the Suzuki’s two-stroke, water-cooled, disc valve 498cc square-four was allied to a six-speed manual transmission. With a quoted 95bhp and 53lb. ft. on tap, the RG500 was capable of 145mph. With its aluminium box-section frame, forged aluminium steering head and full-floater swing-arm rear suspension, the Gamma remains an exhilarating ride. Almost forty years after it was discontinued in 1989, the RG500 maintains a loyal enthusiast following.

An original British-market machine, ‘E551 WAT’ had only five registered keepers prior to joining our vendor’s collection of Japanese motorcycles in 2009, where it has been preserved in good order. Previously, it had been out of use for at least a decade prior to 2015 and, it has covered under 100 miles since then, suggesting the mileage reading of 22,053 may be genuine. Some pre-use checks may be advised. It is supplied with the V5C, M.O.T.s dating back to the 1990s, and invoices for parts and servicing, etc.
