This will be a fun forum. To start, how many of us have more than one RG500? With the rarity of the Gamma, I find it interesting that so many owners have multiple RG's. I have several (seems to fluctuate between 2 and 3). If these are so hard to find, why do some people end up with more than one?
and the same red PVM wheels, jsut powder coated in a RAL colour, was nearly the dark blue one. Looks pretty nice after a polish :headbang:headbang:headbang
That's a nice CH, Carsten! What wheels are you running? I had a blue CH from Italy back in '89 that I purchased from the original owner who imported it into CA using DPL EuroStyle (a gray market importer in San Francisco back in the day). This poor fellow uncrated it himself and proceeded to ride 983kms before the motor locked up. He didn't put any gear oil in it.
Currently, I have 5 running and 5 non running Gammas. I will try to post a few pictures.
Cool scoot, Lee! I really like the blend of old and new for bodywork. Looks like an elegant solution for the USD front end and lower bars. I would like to see a dash shot. Did you go with triple clamp mounted RGV or some method of mounting the stock dash? The rear wheel looks to be 4.5" perhaps?
Have you had a chance to ride that beauty yet? How does it run? What is the state of tune? That bike is stunning! I love classic blue and white RG's that are still recognizable as a Gamma. I would love to see that one in person someday.

I bought the bike from Toronto Gamma Guy which he sent to Australia , which had come from Australia beforehand ! The bike is a gem and exceeded my expectations
That Toronto Gamma guy would be me! Cheers Luis. I see a Walter Wolf in your stable. It looks like a Canadian model, did you pass on the Japanese model you were looking at last year? I'd like to see an aerial photo of your collection, as would others in this group I'm sure. I truly envy your collection...I know that you have an RC30 in there somewhere!
I have only had one. I bought her new 26 years ago. We were separated for five years. she sat in a garage by herself. And I just got her back a week ago. I tried to post a photo, but it would not take it?
New guy here. I don't have any Gamma's parked in the garage, but would like to put one there. If anyone has one that they would like to give a new home to ......
So did you end up with the RG from Oregon? That was one of the best RG500's I have seen in a very long time. Great upgrades and nicely kept bike, I really wanted that bike!
I have 2.5 gammas in my garage, actually in my house, 1 blue and white all original with 2000km another very nice blue and white rg400 ( same as rg500), and a spare rg500 motor, i paid too much for all of them, but i dont care. Cheers
Heres my que at home. I have bought the new generation set of Toomey pipes and kit for my RZ350. The old ones are going on ebay soon. Missing is my prize low km stock blue/w rg500 at my shop. These are 2 RG500 and 1 RG400, I am moving parts around on 2 of them, the other is a project bike that should be finished this year. Just bought one RG500 in Canada, it looks like a new bike and is mostly stock. My RG400 is a Silver JDM WW, now has Blue and White paint. I will paint the project body work WW silver so my RG400 is 100% correct. The RG400 only has Lance filter, float valves, and jets, its speed/acceleration is awesome, highly recommend getting one!
I have only 1 RG500 currently but would love a few more.. I'm down under where there is plenty of sunny days to ride them.. This one is still moving from the UK...
