An ideal spring project
Thought to be substantially complete
Current V5C
Unveiled at the Cologne International Motorcycle Show in 1984, the Suzuki RG125 Gamma entered production the following year. Intended to disrupt the hold that various Italian manufacturers had on the class, the newcomer boasted a fifty-five degree lean angle thanks to its very narrow, single-cylinder, water-cooled two-stroke 124cc engine. Sporting a half-fairing, rectangular headlight, one-piece dual seat and compact exhaust, the Suzuki was capable of some 69mph. With 30mm telescopic forks up front and a single shocker rear, the RG125 Gamma remained essentially unchanged until being supplanted by the revamped RG125 F for 1992. Heavily influenced by its RG250 and RG500 siblings, the smaller machine was well regarded.
Believed to be substantially complete, this 1988 example was acquired by the vendor as a stalled restoration project. Thought to have been treated to some engine work by its previous keeper, nothing further has been done to the Suzuki during the current ownership. A great Spring project, this baby RG is accompanied by a current V5C.
