89 onwards RGV's are good, 92 (i think) went to the dual mufflers on one side and the banana swing arm, with USD forks, they look fucken hot, but the early ones look the bizzo as well.
With buying one take someone who knows there shit on RGV's, there are some cheap bargins out there, but there are some real lemons, ones that have not been looked after at all, and a lemon will set you back a shitload of coin.
Curious George, Rodders, Fluffy Cat to name a few all know there shit when it comes to 2 strokes and RGV's, drop em a PM sure they'd help out.

Best of luck mate.

I know of an RGV from the late 80's? that is for sale.. well sort of its in some old mans shed, if you want me to chase it up i will I just rember because I was gonna buy it about a month ago but decided it wasnt for me... Its mint condition done like 30 odd thousand k's and is mint last time I looked has been sitting around for a while I think the dude wanted like $4k cash or something stupid anyways,, Like I said PM me if your into it.

I only paid $4500 for an 89 RGV in '93 with 7500km on it, tell the old man he's dreamin' and I'll give him fiddy bucks. Yeah. That's fair. Fiddy.

Done. Can't ask questions as it's a sale item not an auction. Emailed the guy asking if he was for real. Also complained to Trademe, pointing out the low value, offer to ship overseas and lose a third of the "take" doing so, new user id, and an msn.com email address whihc usually indicates an inhabitant of the great capitalist continent.

Thanks for that Jimmy. I woke up very, very, grumpy and now some other than the family gets to wear it.
