Suzuki Gamma....drool. That ludicrous smoky SOB brings back some old memories...
and some terrifying memories for me shaughn...........like trying to tune one. tell someone today that you own a liquid cooled box-4 rotary valve side carb case induction 2-stroke and they look at you like.....take this guy to the loony bin.
Those 2 stroke race replica bikes like the Suzuki Gamma, Honda NS400, and Yamaha RZ500 were cool. Maybe inspiration for the new version?

they sure were james and continue their world-wide appeal today. sadly these days a GP500 replica damn near impossible to find along with the fact that state registration here in the US virtually defunct. i won't say that PA is the bellwether for all other states' versions of vehicle laws and registrations....but many states do mirror what PA has on the books and here every single GP replica 2-stroke has been black-listed. you really haven't lived till you've ridden a well-tuned Gamma or an H2 triple.
You haven't lived until you break your ankle by ramming into stacked concrete pipes on a go cart built by a crack head that's powered by the Kawi 750 triple....
Bunch of old farts, Oh, that's right, I forgot, I'm one also !
Thanks for the memory jog ,John back in the mid seventys ,it was blue with 3 chrome chambers with the smell of bean oil , High compression heads, ported cylinders, larger carbs, lengthened swing arm., and clip ons. And a bucket of fouled plugs.
man you nailed it. and a cigar box full of mikuni jets....that will never see the light of day again.
