EOdesmo Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 I've always been a fan of the big 2 strokes. I've been looking for one of these for a few years and ran across this one almost 2 months ago. Its taken awhile to get it here from Medford Oregon but it finally showed up last Monday. Engine/suspension all stock(save for the chambers). AirTech fairings, R6 front brakes. I've only had time to take it for 1 (quite illegal) ride and everything works as it should on a 31 year old 2 smoke. There's nothing quite like the power delivery of a 4 cylinder 2-stroke as it comes on the pipe . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Very nice. I always thought a 2 stroke street bike would be a hoot to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer_kaw Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Seems you got some skill in finding sweet machines. Odds are good next time I'm down by the river I'll see a trail of smoke somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EOdesmo Posted September 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Thanks gentleman. I spend way too much time surfing the net looking for Unicorns....LOL! K-k, I love the smell of burnt Castrol 2 stroke in the morning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EOdesmo Posted September 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Pauly, my understanding is that this was a replica of Yamaha's GP bike, 4 cylinder, V-configuration, twin crankshafts geared together, reed valve induction/exhaust power valves. My Suzuki RG500 was a replica of their older version of GP bike. 4 cylinder, square 4, twin cranks geared together, disc valve induction, exhaust power valves. I wish I would have kept the RG. Strangely, it surfaced on the RG500 FB page. The new owner had just purchased it from the guy I sold it to16 years ago. Looks identical to the day I sold it. At least he took good care of it.

Didn't you have a Gamma back in the day or am I thinking of someone else? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any decent running mid 1990's 600cc sport bike would likely be more than a match for it today. The way it delivers it power it what make its so much fun to ride...

I had a 1986 Suzuki RG500. Eventually sold it to keep the marriage intact... I do remember a guy from Akron having an RG that was in on a few OR rides, prolly around 2003-04. I had already sold mine by then... made him an offer on his to see if he would bite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've managed to get the RGV together after 5 years of restoration. I just may get to go for a ride on it sunday. I got The carbs on the RZ cleaned and sorted. Sounds MUCH better than when I took delivery. The requested audio clips of both for you 2smokers :-) 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTheAzn Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Soooo cool. Love the quad pipes. Only 2 stroke I've ridden has been a snowmobile, and it was a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
