Just rode an RGV150

[IronicCapers]

Just happened to get the chan ce to test out a RGV150 very kool bike didnt get on long enuf to get the tyres warm and it aint as fast as my cousins NS250R but it sure is quick for its size now im seriously thinking of buying one! Only thing a i dont like is the really small tyres they r lik a small dirt bike tyres., and i wish i could make em bigger but the bike probably dnt av the touque to get a bigger wheel but one can dream.

Really liked the ride and would lik to actually see what its like over a week

If your gonna get a suzuki 150cc 2-smoker, get an RG 150 , rather than an RGv150.

The RG is watercooled, has a disc on the back and looks way cooler (plus is way faster)

The above is quite true, but beware if it's high km's as the power-valves can get quite worn and are reasonable expensive to replace.
Even nastier if you don't do it, and they do what they do when you don't.
If you know what I mean....

Get a KRR150...

Totally leftfield I know.....but I see lots of quotes about going into corners slow, and coming out fast(er) on this site.
We ALL know that's true, and waaay much safer on the streets.
But for anyone that reads this that does a bit of racing, (not track days cause it's not cool for someone to deck their pride and joy trying to avoid you!) try going in a bit too hot a few times.....the others won't want to come near you, and then when you get it right, you'll have all this extra space to do it it!

Tis true, my man took my KR up the Taka's with his mates 770cc and manage to shit on him in the corners... Shame about those straights though...

My reply wasn't aimed at people doing stooopid stuff on the street.
That's NOT the place for scaring people.
Tell your man to get that shit outta his system at a track near you....

hmmmm iam that very same legend. Well known for my dirt bike expertise and film vision. Who is this other taupakian resident that lives near me.

[SlowHand]

often licked never bitten. no wait, i been bitten heaps... carry on.

I would rather a RGe than a RGv but the only problem with that would be the fact that RGe is a rarer bike again being as it quicker and all. Talk to bikesport mechanic bout it and usually they r all kitted up for racing. If ne one wants to sell their KRR for cheap then that would sweet or even a test ride would b kool. Along with the smaller 2-smokers (dont really want a 250 1) i also would lik a FZR250 or ZXR250 or CBR250 but the price are usually not rite. Im a cheap dutch bastard and the fact im usually quite broke doesnt help

I would avoid the RGV. they aren't Japanese quality & I know of a few that have killed themselves. I might have one on my bench at the moment, it had a cracked piston & looked pretty seized. it was already on oversize, so this isn't the first time it's happened.

If yoy want a commutor there are plenty of other bikes out there. A Spada VTR250 is a nice bike for a tiddler. Be better on gas than a 2 stroke.

Reading above, bear in mind I am a 2 stroke fanatic. But still I think this.
