The Suzuki RG500 Gamma stands as one of the most iconic and sought-after two-stroke sport bikes ever built.

Now offered by TBR Classics, this 1989 Japanese-import RG500 is a standout example, presented in A1 condition with 23,170 miles on the odometer. It has been part of a private collection, where it was carefully stored and preserved, and has now been fully recommissioned in-house by TBR Classics.
