Yamaha's RZ500 V4 two-stroke changed the climate overnight when it was introduced last year. Suddenly grand prix technology didn't seem so preposterous. But Suzuki was fully aware of what Yamaha was up to. The RG500 doesn't look that light or for that matter, feel it. In the current vogue of the Japanese factories, the bike features a full race-styled fairing with rear bodywork that encloses the upper pair of exhaust pipes | |||
and reaches down to the footrests. The RG500 displays a chunky continuity of line that gives only a glimpse of the goingson inside the fairing. | |||
