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 feature a lightweight aluminium frame and it went on to dominate production racing over the next few years. By 1986, the introduction of Suzuki's AEC (Automatic Exhaust Control) power valve system allowed for an increase in horsepower with a better spread throughout the rev range. In the 1980s, the Canadian oil and motorsport magnate Walter Wolf had already enjoyed success in Formula 1 racing and sponsored a team in the Japanese domestic race series running Suzuki RG500s. The rare Walter Wolf official replicas were sold mainly in Japan, with very few reaching these shores.

This RG250 Gamma, being offered at no reserve, was imported into the UK in 1992 and bought by the vendor in 1996. After a couple of years of use, it was mothballed with a view to it becoming a retirement project. and has followed the vendor around the country in various house moves. Now planning to emigrate, the time is right to move the bike on. The engine turns over with compression, but it has not been run for a number of years so will need full recommissioning and it will be supplied with a current V5C.
