    Latest purchase: feel sick but loving the feeling

    Borrowed the money, paying 10%.
    Wife is not talking to me.

    Had to do it.

    The classic Yamaha RZV 500 r v4 2 stroke


    1984 imported from japan this year ,vinned ,wof and rego , ready to go .

    fully serviced ,includes new plugs ,new air filter, new tyres, new battery, gearbox oil , flushed 2 stroke oil system , carbs cleaned and reset

    runs really well , have been on few club runs.

    overall a original condition bike with a few blemishes as expected with its age

    comes with original tool kit

    it has been derestricted so is on par with the euro Rz 500

    in my opinion the RZV is the better bike out of the 500s with its hand-welded aluminium frame front forks are air assisted with rebound damping adjustment and many more fine detailed extras . makes for a much nicer bike over all



    Please tell me what you know about these.

    Man, I'm not allowed to ride it , if it means getting dirty.
    All those things above are like two stroke porn.
    Might as well buy a dirty mag, two strokes and the same result!

    But seriously I will not be f@cking with this like I do with everything else I own!
    Who will take bets?

    Consider that a bonus from making the purchase
    "If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

    Totally agree, the Yamaha 500 was better than the RGV500. Rode both and the Yam was the better bike, more responsive, better handling.

    You lucky man, this is one bike that would be in my dream garage

    I thought that was really good value for money. Kudos.

    I do hope you're joking.
