The race replica wars have certainly come a long way: replicas are now arguably as fast as some of the original racers on which they are based. Like the racing Gamma's, the street-legal RG is a liquid-cooled, twin crank, square four with disc valve induction. Fed by four ultra-thin, 28mm flat slide Mikuni carburetors located on the outside of each cylinder, and with the gas helped by Suzuki's intake power chamber on the way in and their power valve on the way out, the Gamma revs way beyond the redline and makes power in huge peaks of blistering stomp.
