Latest style RGV250 on TM

Uphill on the Kaimais I doubt. But then I have an unfair advantage there as I know the road VERY well.

Are you kidding?
You'd get taken round the outside bro, lol. honestly.....

The 23, if anyone is interested, has a completely new engine, quite different to the 22 (which is what the Aprilia has). About the same peak power (they speak of 70hp, YMMV), but much more midrange, and accordingly it is a much faster bike over the ground than the 22. Ram air induction, and an electric starter.

Sigh... if only I could ride well enough to justify such a machine.

One day!

OK then find a non racer RGV rider and bring them over here one day. We'll have us a go.

any bike shops over there got a rgv i might test ride for half an hour?
you'd be hoping not!
an older one would still do the trick

I think Smith's has one but not sure. I'll do some checking, or you can PM some of the other Tauranga KBers to do it if you don't think I'll actualy look around. Come over on a thursday so we can go to the pub afterwards.

I know of another one, it was/is in Dannevirke Suzuki. Very, very nice machine.
Waylander, you are dreaming if you think you could beat a well ridden one of these over the kaimais on a Vmax.

[limbimtimwim]

Yea but why?

I think I want to start a bike collection.

You've got a RVF400 and GSXR750. Why sit bored on one of those? Let some other poor college student learner get it.

I don't think I'd be bored at all. It should run rings around the RVF. And a learner would break their face. Well, maybe not, but there is a higher chance. I can't afford it.

Lend me some money. Interest free. And 30 years to pay you back.

Holeshots in Takapuna had one of these a couple of months ago, I wonder if its the same one? Very cool bikes!

[Deano]

Just a shame most of the more capable hands ride IL4s aye?

I'll stick with 4 strokes myself mate.

Have you heard it is often better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you're a dick, rather than open your mouth and confirm it ?

They have more information on there since I last looked. The Lucky Strike and Red versions look pretty trick too

Warning to anyone wanting to buy that bike, it might be restricted to 40hp

thats impressive....... pretty dumb though. Draggin a knee with errr... jeans on.

I don't care how fast it really is or who it could / can't beat but a high performance 2 stroke has to be in anyones dream collection. They are just so light and FUN and when they get on song only a complete misery guts could fail to laugh out loud - they feel FAST and MANIC... Glorious....

Waylander - just a little tip - never ever get into any kind of race with people that own these kinds of bikes - they tend to be - um - 'special'....... and a good lateish 2 stroke sports bike is a LOT faster than you may think.

[KLOWN]

I'd rather have the aprilla than the rgv. I just think the aprilla is soooo sexy. Also you can buy them for around the asking price of that rgv

[SPman]

Saw one in the carpark at Puke in '98.
Young guy in the next office has got one - very nice - I'm trying to wangle a ride , some time......mmmmmmmmmmm
