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 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 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.
