I don't know anything about the earlier 1980's motorcycles as i'm a ninetys man (a late starter) but i did placed my bike in for a service back in day at dobles and was given a secondhand suzuki RGV250 as per coloured picture to try out,this was the first and only time for me on a twostroke and very agile indeed but yes very much would like a Aprilia RS250/RGV/NSR250/TZR250
Remembering seeing an rgv a couple of years back, owned one back in the day, and they are quite a small bike from what I remembered. Lovely bike, I'd have one if the prices weren't so expensive. Mine was fond of losing bolts. There's an Rd lc on ebay for 12k. Think I'd pass on that one. Fools and their money eh.
The wheels would just about manage to emanate from the crack of your arse these days oops, shouldn't of pictured that
Some nice bikes there wroughtiron! I’d have thought the next to f all mileage ones would have been advertised for more than that. But I must have been sniffing the tippex again. Love a mars bar colour scheme.....
I used to own a slightly different version of this, with a RG500 engine in it And a standard RG500 as well, which was mint condition
I've had a few 2 stokers in my teens, early 20's Yam RD125LC Yam RD350LC YPVS Yam TDR 250 x 2 Suz RGV 250 Aprilia RS250 x 2 RS500 Hybrid – RG500/RS250 Suz RG500 On reflection the 350 YPVS was the most fun for the money
Yip....its the 99McWillaims rep pic posted above, note the 2 discreet pipes sticking out the seat hump
Doh! Where were glasses!!! Proper discrete - blended in with the car window. Ahem. Cough. Cough. That would have to be right up there in bikes I want to own. So spill the beans, what was it like with that engine and handling? Did you buy it or build it??? Cheers!!!
this thread should be changed to.. another mid life crisis.. ive been looking at ebay etc for the last 24hrs, to relive my youth again..
