Hi! New Rider in Brampton - '87 Suzuki Gamma RG 250

Just make sure you ride the piss out of it, especially in the high rev range and because it's a 2-stroke expect to do frequent maintenance work on it as well but don't fear this bike will definitely will be a learning curve so don't feel bad in asking lots of questions there will be lots of people on here who can help.

It's definitely a quirky bike. Had been sitting for a while and not ridden too often. Smartening up now that I have been trying to clean and fix it up and riding it a lot more than it's been ridden in quite some time. For a new rider with this as a first bike, it has been a real learning experience. As frustrating as it was knowing absolutely nothing, and trying desperately to get it on the road earlier in the season, I'm actually liking that I have learned so much I wouldn't have with a nice shiny new bike. Not to mention some riding skills like the "I have stalled at a light and have to kick-start calmly dance" LOL! Happens rarely now though.

I will definitely have a lot more questions for my fellow 2-stroke riders out there, especially anyone with the same bike. I look forward to communicating with and hopefully riding with many of you sometime.

Oh, and once I have a few more clicks on my new front tire I will definitely be riding the piss out of it! Careful of the cold tires of course!

Welcome to you too! I am really liking the cooler weather. Was way too hot at 30 degrees :/ I work in Mississauga so maybe meet up for a ride one evening before I head home if I take the bike in.
 
Awesome. And I agree, seems like october will have great cool weather, and fingers crossed for thanksgiving to be a beauty of a day with open roads
 
Sounds like you've jumped right in and are doing a great job! Congrats on your 'acquisition' :) Lots of people on here with the know-how to help you out.
 
That's a nice bike! Keep an eye on the Brampton thread in the Rides/hook ups section. We usually try to set something up on weekends.

Thanks! I've been wanting to ride for years. Finally had a chance to get going with it thanks to a good friend. I've only been riding about 6 or 7 weeks now due to delays in getting the bike safety (should have been riding since June). I'm pretty comfortable already and loving every minute I get to ride! This site has been great for info and meeting a few people so far that can give me insight on my bike in particular. :)

Thanks! I actually was going to try and get up for the ride today but I didn't check the threads before I left Tottenham this morning and I was just a little too late to get back up to north Brampton in time. I've been watching. I'll get out before the season is out for sure!
