Is it correct ONLY RZV500R have magnesium wheels?
For me the difference is only the color (gold)
Correct?

Same wheels.
The differences between them.
Alloy frame. Alloy shock. Different front fork. No grab rail. Clocks were different, has a fuel gauge and a speed light. No side stand switch. Restrictor in the exhaust which can be removed. Right side handlebar switch. Tank has a fuel level sender, I believe the lower left engine case is magnesium

Nice one, Quite a few more differences, I forgot about the extra oil tank, alloy brake and gear shifter and a bunch other little bits.. :smt023

Anything they could do to make it lighter. Suzuki was watching.
