RG 500 madness. I want one.

**Dadpole** · 25th October 2006, 22:22

I found this posted on the oldskoolsuzuki site. What the RG500 can become with a bit of work.
I think I need one - just for nipping down to the shop, of course.

gah! respect to that man! couldnt stand that 'gamma' look. Any chance of posting the whole article?

**Dadpole** · 25th October 2006, 22:31

That was all there was (unfortunately)

Oh now that is gorgeous... That would probably be the fastest and scariest trip down to the shops.... ever

cool as hell !!

There's this one on TardMe at the moment

It's a showbike that gets ridden everywhere, the running joke around here is that he would be buried with it, so I really should try and get hold of him and make sure it's not part of a deceased estate!

Yeah nice work alright, I have seen in a "Superbike" mag a Kevin Schwantz rep.

Stop sniffing the two stroke oil boys. It'd drive you batty after you had to change out the plugs for the second time on one ride.

Looks really cool though!

Dear god.... 101rwhp for the one on trademe!

Here I was thinking that 60hp would be a handful from a 250 stroker... Must be fricken loud too.

Nice looking bike.

I have a book at work with a couple of RG500s in it but that one's really good.

Have a look at this RD350. Now this would look lovely in my gargre.

There was a pretty tidy RG500 being raced at Taupo in the last VMCC round.

Then they should tune it correctly and put the correct plugs in it...

RG 4 eva!
We had 20 odd (some very odd) RGs at the 20th anniversary meting at Taupo last year. Bloody good weekend.
Members of the Gammarati, and others interested in such things should join the RG mailing list.
