The Suzuki RGXXX "Gamma" was motorcycle built by Suzuki RGXXX "Gamma" Grand Prix motorcycle, capitalizing on Suzuki's seven consecutive constructors title wins in the XXX cc-class. The Gamma was powered by two-stroke, rotary valve, twin crank, square four engine displacing XXX cubic centimeters. The power output was XX.X brake horsepower (XX.X kW) at X,XXX RPM. The engine employed liquid-cooling by means of front-mounted radiator with thermostatic control. Suzuki employed an aluminum boxsection frame with castings for the headstock and rear swing arm for the Gamma. The front suspension had pre-load adjust and an anti-dive system called "POSI DAMP" to control the tendency of motorcycle's nose to dive under braking. At the rear the full-floater suspension design used dual-swingarms. The motorcycle weighed XXX kg (XXX lb) dry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_RGXXX.RGXXXThe Suzuki RGXXX Gamma is based on the factory racing machines, first introduced in XXXX and eventually winning seven world XXX Grand Prix titles, firstly with Barry Sheene, and lastly with Kenny Roberts Jr. in XXXX. The street version was introduced in XXXX (the model) and was well received but considered somewhat impractical and more of racer replica than straight street bike, something that was reflected in limited sales.The performance of the Suzuki was excellent, albeit they were somewhat heavy on fuel (XX around XX mph, but substantially less if the revs /speed were increased). Interestingly, the last of the street RGXXXs (the model) had almost the same power output as the original works racers!The RG had power to weight ratio of XX hp:XXX lb??�s (dry) which ensured rapid acceleration and top speed of around XXX mph. The handling matched the engine??�s performance with single shock rear mounted to Suzuki??�s full floating suspension system. The forks had adjustable pre-load and sophisticated Anti-dive system that reduced dive but would be instantly bypassed (via special valves) should the bike suddenly hit bump.https://www.thoughtco.com/suzuki-rgXXX-XXXXXX.Bike has original paint and mileages XXXXX mile (XXXXXKM) .XXXX Domestic modelF# HMXXAXXXxxxE# MXXXXXXXxxheir line cracks, no damage,runs very well.Came with AZ Title and Bill of sale.Will ship worldwide.
