1977 | RG50
50 cm³ sprinter model, newly added to the performance-oriented RG series.
The air-cooled 2-stroke 1-cylinder engine of the RG50 features Suzuki’s unique power reed valve system that combines both a piston valve and a reed valve. The stylish cradle type frame was newly developed for the RG50. This frame is particularly robust and combines well with the front and rear suspensions to realize superb handling.

1980 | RG50E
High power that goes beyond the 50 cm³ class with the aggressive front design of an RG
The power reed valve engine of the RG50E generates an impressive maximum horsepower of 7.2 PS and maximum torque of 5.69 N·m. The RG50E features a down type muffler with a large-capacity power chamber to reduce exhaust noise and a black finish to recreate the image of a racing bike. The integrated star-shaped cast wheels, which are designed to ensure superlative riding stability, were increased in size from 17 to 18 inches. The RG50E that debuted in 1981 was the first model in the 50 cm³ class to be equipped with Anti Nose Dive Forks (ANDF).

1982 | RG50Γ
Exciting 50 cm³ model featuring a hexagonal pipe frame
The RG50Γ combines the first hexagonal pipe frame adopted on a 50 cm³ model produced in Japan with a newly developed 2-stroke liquid-cooled 1-cylinder power reed valve engine. Incorporating Suzuki’s unique power reed valve into this engine helps ro realize gutsy torque in the low- and mid-rpm ranges. The adoption of a liquid cooling system featuring a radiator equipped with an airflow-converging cover substantially improves cooling performance and enhances fuel economy. Handling is also improved through features such as the Full Floater suspension with a hexagonal pipe swingarm, smaller-diameter front wheel, and Anti Nose Dive Forks (ANDF). The RG50Γ is also provided with fairings and a 6-speed transmission. Weight was reduced by the widespread use of aluminum forgings, resulting in a machine that meets the expectations of users looking for a sporty ride.
* Under fairing is an optional equipment.
