  1. I had one of these.....RGV250n
    RGV-250R.jpg
    Bought it brand new from A&D Motorcycles in Denbigh way back in 1993, lasted till the 'magic' 13,000 miles when the front cylinder imploded whilst chasing a Fireblade, I still remember thinking 'It will be alright when it cools down....'!

  6. I don't remember meeting Mr. Kelly.

    It was John West who sent me there and I was mightily pleased.
    I swapped Birkenhead for Manly Beach - a trade not many would disagree with.

  17. Back in the late 80s early 90s I raced a selection of 125 Hondas & a 250 Suzuki, all great fun but the best was an ex Hans Spaan GP bike. Niko Bakker frame, Marvic wheel, Marzocchi forks , White Power shokker etc with a 125 Rotax engine, single cylinder disc valve induction, 1 gasket in the engine, the power came in at 12000 RPM & went out again at 13500 rpm. As Barry Sheene famously said "it had a power band as wide as the cock on a chocolate mouse"
    Had to sell it when the kids came along but would love to get it back again now.

  18. Great to see so many two stroke fans here. Since I started the thread, I have done a bit more to my two Hybrids. The first has had a colour change and is now up and running;

    And the Yamasaki engine has been totally rebuilt and is back in the bike, along with some nice TSA pipes;
