What year did the RG250 first come out?

[avgas]

If not the 400 then it would have been the 750.

Were any H1's sold brand new into the UK?

[avgas]

RGV250L late in '89

errrr I swear no new RGV's were sold into UK until the mid 90's?

[onearmedbandit]

Are we talking mass production? If not its the Harris in 75.
Dunno about mass production. If I were to make a poke I would guess its 1991 GSXR

Yes I should have qualified it a little better, mass-produced and sportsbike. But seeing as nudemetalz provided some doubt to my source I decided to end the competition. The prize of a years trip following the motogp with all access passes and expenses has now been withdrawn.

Like I said there may now be doubt to the quality of my source. (Superbike Magazine Feb 2010 Pg 84)

RGVs didn't get USDs till 1991 (VJ22)

Says you!

[imdying]

:P

UK models
Jap models

But if you told me that the VJ22 was released as a JDM in 1990 I'd believe it.

[F5 Dave]

That it was. Now which bike was the first to be sold in the UK with upsidedown forks? (should be the same for here)

1985 would be first wave of KTMs fitted with USDs. Well what? you asked.

oh bugger....was looking forward to that too !!
I still have a feeling that the ZXR400's were brought in new into UK...but I could be wrong.

And you'd be right on the money

Some interesting stuff, why has it stopped? Who can tell me the displacement of the rear cylinder on an MVX250? Including the bore and stroke comparisons.

[McWild]

USD forks? I think some of you are suffering from a bit of memory loss.

Behold your new god, the 1979 Yamaha YB100.

With USD forks... front and rear.

I thought all 3 were the same slightly undersquare 47mmx48mm making an 83cc per pot

That would depend on how many times it seized and was rebored

Fail. The rear shocks are the right way up.
