When was the last time you saw one of these in this condition??

I remember the RG250WD's when they first came out back in '83.
Was like, WOW !!
Alloy frame, single shock, anti-dive, half-fairing race replica.
The RZ's were slightly faster, the RG had them for looks.

If the Mrs would let me, I'd buy it,..but... like I'd be allowed !!

Yes indeedy. My younger brother's still got his Yamma Gamma. RZ350 motor in the RG250 frame. That thing on slicks was pretty quick.

Still a nice looking bike, and I'd be keen to park one behind the SV. Only for Sunday rides when the Greenies weren't looking.

Yeah I seem to have one of those, but it is somewhat different looking & with the RZ500 should go a bunch better.

Yep, I owned one, my first road bike. I also got the next model which had a belly pan and a few other mods, great bikes! :yes:
