The Suzuki RG200 Gamma was basically a RG125F Gamma with a larger engine. Even the gear ratios are exactly the same. Except for the piston displacement and power output (35 ps instead of 22 ps) the only differencies between the 125cc and the 200cc versions are that the RG200 gamma has a little larger rear tyre and the chassis and the suspension seems to be injusted for the larger engine. The overall length of the bike is somewhat shorter than the 125 and the 200 is even a bit lower than its little brother.

Much more power but only slightly more weight. The RGV250 Gamma of the time offered much more but the single-cylinder RG200 Gamma was a cheap alternative to the rather expensive V-twin.
