A naked variant of the VJ21 RGV250, Suzuki’s Wolf was never officially offered in the US. Beyond the obvious lack of bodywork, the Wolf got a different front fork, front brakes, gear ratios, plus the headlight/turn signals. Suzuki also painted the engine black as it was more visible without the bodywork.
The model was introduced in 1988 but Suzuki gave it several minor updates for 1989, with changes including a revised 2nd gear ratio and modifications to the carbs and CDI. They also added a new third color option: Light Charcoal Metallic.
The liquid-cooled 249cc two-stroke engine was rated at the same 45 horsepower of its fully-faired brother. Dry weight was just 275 pounds.
