    OMG WTF BBQ

    the very first motorbike I ever rode was an RV90. Coincidentally also the very first motorbike I fell off.... after about 50 metres.

    awesome!!

    Sounds like a match made in heaven, maybe it's your new commuter instead of the scooters you were researching

    Red face suzuki rv90

    my first bike as an RV90. wonderful, fun, very cheap to run. $1 for a full tank, but that was in the 70s.

    bought it in jan 1973 for $600. reared a car on my first day; left fat tyre prints on the car's bumper. driver checked his car and had a good laugh. no harm to bike; it just bounced off.

    second bike was a TS250 but didn't like it. sold it after 6 months and bought another RV90 and used it for 3 years.

    wish Suzuki still manufactures them. would love a brand new one.

    I wonder how it would go on the road?

    If it had a bigger motor it would be like riding Judge Dredd's bike.

    This fella says he go it ti 70 on a paddock, so slap an ohlins shock in the rear, firm up the front a bit and who knows... at least it could go down the 60k dual carriage ways around chch fine. They've got pretty cool tyres

    Edit, and if you live out of town then you could just cut through paddocks after a while

    Yup, 70 on the paddock, and on the road. I imagine it would go better (+1-2KM/Hr?) with a new air filter etc?

    'Tis the Vanvan indeed. They will take a A100 engine (if you can find one). I have one I use to scoot around on - and fall off.

    there's a 125cc version as well but I think it has bigger wheels (maybe bigger all over).

    I have one or two of the RV125s. Larger wheels but narrower on the front than the rear. Makes wet grass 'interesting'

    No bites?

    Too expensive?

    Make me an offer - it has to go before I'm allowed to bring home my new 250!
