fuuuuckn sick bro! cheers for posting that up.

oh what I would give to have a 500cc 2 stroke race rep thing.. iv seen ones built out of rg400 motors from road bikes and build them like motogp reps..

are there any bike 400/500cc 2 stroke road bikes in nz even?

I'v been on like the 500cc kawasaki h1 triple but that things never gonna be the right motor for a gp rep

There's the odd road legal RG400 and RG500 floating around in NZ. They come up for sale occasionally on TM.

totally different beast IMO. that video is of the RG500 production racebike (XR series): they have no parts in common with the RG400/500 Gamma road bikes they're more like the Yamaha TZ racebikes and the TZR roadbikes.

I lust after the road bikes as well. Allegedly there are a few XR69's floating about in NZ that come out to play occasionally.

I would be happy with a 2fiddly. When do I win lotto & build a bigger garage?

Hopefully, the week after I do. We can race our helicopters round the place, and compete as to who can spend the most on Jack Daniels and hookers.

LJ Hookers? Private race track....

Would have to make a rule, no drinking or shagging unless you've used your daily petrol allocation.

On an ever so slightly more serious note. I spotted a friend limping manfully across the super market car park yesterday, odd shoes & a Ti tree crutch. So I burst out laughing.. He had crashed his micro light the day before. Might give flying a miss cos he's really clever & I'm not.

There's the odd RG500 stuffed into an RGV250 chassis floating around...nice!

You've got a VFR400 rolling chassis lying about havent you? RG500 > VFR400 = win!

Ive seen one in a late-ish model R6 as well in a magazine.

RG500's come up for sale occasionally, won't own a tidy one for under $10k. Mate of mine is building an RGV320, owes him shitloads but will be an amazing beast when finished. Other mate has an NSR250SP that is now a 300. One of them used to own an RZ500 back in the day, that's still floating around afaik.

Mint, might have a 500 one day then lol.. keep saving

Yea I got an RS250 ape, i can get the 300 kit for about 2k plus shipping ex UK so its doable as well... will see how the 250 motor goes once iv finished building it..

2 strokes are good fun, been looking at an RGV500 gp replica build on a uk rgv forum and it was all painted up in the lucky strike livery with replica fairings he had made his own moulds for n shit. Based on the 94/95 gp bikes, looked mint. think it was on a vj22 rgv250 frame but was nice, 180 real wheel n the square 4 500cc 2 stroker

yea but doubt I'll ever own a production rg500 racebike..

maybe if I work harder lol..

easier to dream to build a wee replica.. I prob couldnt ride the racebike anyway
