The 1990 Suzuki RGV 250 Gamma is a two-stroke race replica from the golden age of 250cc sports bikes. Its liquid-cooled 249cc V-twin makes 58 hp through a six-speed gearbox and chain, for a top speed of about 194 km/h. A 159 kg wet weight and 17-litre tank made it very fast for its size.

Not ideal for
It is not suited to new riders, commuters wanting comfort, or anyone seeking a relaxed, low-maintenance, or long-distance touring machine.
