The '''Suzuki RG500''' Gamma was a [[motorcycle]] built by [[Suzuki]] between 1984 and 1987 and inspired by the RG Gamma [[Grand Prix motorcycle racing|Grand Prix]] racer of the 1970s, capitalizing on Suzuki's seven consecutive constructors title wins in the 500 cc-class. The Gamma was powered by a two stroke, rotary valve, twin crank, [[U_engine|square four engine]] displacing 498 cubic centimeters. The power output was 93.7bhp at 9,500 RPM. The [[engine]] employed [[liquid-cooling]] by means of a front-mounted radiator with a thermostatic control. Suzuki employed an aluminum boxsection frame with castings for the headstock and swinging arm for the Gamma. The front suspension had pre-load adjust and an anti-dive system called "POSI DAMP" to control the tendency of a motorcycle's nose to dive under braking. At the rear the full-floater suspension design used dual-swingarms. The motorcycle weighed 154kg dry.
