The [[Suzuki|Suzuki]] RG250 Gamma was a two cylinder parallel, water cooled 250cc [[two-stroke|two-stroke]] motorcycle produced by Suzuki from 1983 to 1987. One of the major features of the RG250 Gamma was its incredible power to weight ratio. Able to produce up to 45+ bhp at 8,500 RPM and 38.4 Nm torque at 8,000 rpm, weighing in at roughly 130 kg. The RG250 Gamma was the very first mass-produced motorcycle to have a lightweight aluminum frame and racing type aerodynamic fairing. | |||

The RG250 Gamma was the very first mass-produced motorcycle to have a lightweight aluminum frame and racing type aerodynamic fairing. It could reach a top speed of 107 mph (172 km/h). | |||
The Gamma also had a very advanced 'Full Floater' suspension system for its time, with the first Mk1s having 'anti-dive' front forks (which locked the front forks under hard braking to stop them diving). Due to this, the bike was dubbed the first street legal racer. In the 5 years of production the model underwent three major changes: | The Gamma also had a very advanced 'Full Floater' suspension system for its time, with the first Mk1s having 'anti-dive' front forks (which locked the front forks under hard braking to stop them diving).

The RG250 Has a Liquid-Cooled Parallel twin engine with 46 hp output at a relatively low 8600 rpm. The RG250 Gamma is a two stroke, but water cooled and in a brilliant frame, with 6 speeds lightweight aluminum frame, full floater suspension, it is a quick motorcycle which handles very well. It also has A.N.D.F., a proprietary [[Suzuki]] technology which was first used on the [[Suzuki RG500|RG500B]]. With a dry weight of way under 300 lbs. This bike is unbeatable in the tight stuff. This bike was made in special '''WALTER WOLF''' editions as well. | The RG250 Has a Liquid-Cooled Parallel twin engine with 46 hp output at a relatively low 8600 rpm.

The model was manufactured between 1983 and 1986 and it was finally replaced by the V-twin engined RGV250 in 1987. | The model was manufactured between 1983 and 1986 and it was finally replaced by the V-twin engined RGV250 in 1987. | ||
==Engine== | |||
The engine was a [[liquid cooled]] twin, two-stroke. A 54.0mm [[bore]] x 54.0mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 247.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a membrane & variable discharge openings. | |||
==Drive== | |||
The bike has a 6-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the Wet Multiplate. | |||
==Chassis== | |||
It came with a 100/90-16 front [[tire]] and a 100/90-18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via dual disc in the front and a single disc in the rear. The front suspension was a Telescopic, Coil Spring, Oil Damped With Anti-dive while the rear was equipped with a Full Floater, Gas/oil Damped, Spring Pre-load Fully Adjustable. The RG250 Gamma was fitted with a 4.49 Gallon (17.00 Liters) fuel tank. The wheelbase was 54.49 inches (1384 mm) long. | |||
