After Suzuki introduced the RG-Gamma series in 1983, the line grew to span displacements ranging from 250-500cc. Of particular note was the RG400 Gamma Walter Wolf, as it was a two-year-only model that was exclusively sold in Japan.
A true race-replica for the streets, it boasted the latest and greatest in two-stroke technology. Along with an advanced aluminum box frame, it also featured Suzuki’s “Full-Floater” rear suspension and a water-cooled square four. The 397cc engine produced 59 horsepower at 9,000 rpm.
This example is VIN: HK31A101458.
The odometer shows 7,141 kilometers (4,437 miles).
