No question here... get the RG500 by all means.  I'd sell my soul
and even my Kenny Roberts bubble gum card collection for a Gamma.

By all means replace your Intercepted, but don't settle for a Ninjette.
Put some pipes on the Gamma and there isn't a four stroke built that
will fit your loosest definition of "sport bike."
