Latest style RGV250 on TM

[Jeff Sichoe]

Hmm yummy, my 250 RGV (1990) is starting look a little dated.

And to whoever that 2-stroke hater was, they kick ass man, just gotta hold on tight if you're a little scared of the powerband (don't worry, it's normal to be intimidated...)

[Waylander]

i hope you can't ride your Vmax like this Waylander?

Hmm. Well for starters he has rear sets. Mine doesn't get that kind of clearance. Also probably has racetec or progressive springs in the front and upgraded shocks on the rear with a better tyre. Cerainly has a new tyre on the front. Give me a grand to do all that to my bike and I probably could.

I'm pretty close though, Just need to move my ass off the seat a bit more. Keep working on it but there are only so many corners and roundabouts between home and work....

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.

I'm trying to get KF up here for our local meet up! Don't care if I win or lose really.

Haha ladies good to see all you people know what a 2 stroke 250 is capable of !!
All the employees at dealerships certainly are and are more interested in them than your latemodel 600's/1000's
Most people who own rs250s tend to be alot older than me (im 20)
I know various people that have gone from R1's and gixxer 750's to 2 stroke 250's ...Yes in the right hands they will prevail !!!
My one is in my profile pic (fully painted by me and the seat unit is carbon fibre that I made, aftermarket rearsets.. I love my bike.

The thing is, they just feel fast. I rode a 125cc two stroke scooter recently... wasn't going very quick, at least not the pace I normally go on my bike, and I don't think it was quite as powerful either (but close enough), but faarrrkk... I felt like a MotoGP rider hahah. The KR150 I rode had an even stronger effect on me. Then again, my bike is a fairly relaxed thumper, but small strokers feel so frantic. An RS250 or RGV250 is right up there on my `one day...' list.

Thats one sweet 250, If I had the funds for a track bike that would be it.

Waylanders digging himself a mighty big hole I think

[Str8 Jacket]

Yea but why?

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

Oh mate, there's NOTHING quite like a 2 stroker!!!

Har har Mike. Enjoy your winnings tonight and next time show up on the bike!

[awesker]

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

After new years my VJ21 will be ready to meet the world, itll just need a bit of vynil but full fairing and a good condition engine and its all good. If you come up to aucks you can borrow it, if you want.

Waylander, get over yourself dude. Your bikes good in a straight line and up a hill.. the RGV is purely designed for racing in mind, so it corners and brakes (oh those brakes ) bloody well..

On a different note, the VJ23 got over the powervalve problem the 22 and 21 suffered badly from right? man... electric start.. what a luxary! Man, what a georgous bike..

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

did they? thats pretty awesome.. I saw them with a noiccccce rs250 there a month or so back.. do you know how much they were selling theres for?

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

same engine! I think the Vj22 looks bette than the RS imo, the RS looks to soft or something... Im not sure what it is but I like the Vj22

If I was going to get a 250 2 smoker (which I'm more inclinded to do after reading the praises for them on this thread), I'd have to go for an MC28

No worries, get in touch with me around the 5th of jan mate.

[White trash]

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

You're on, my not so smart american friend.......

i think they had about $7500 on it.

[Waylander]

It's funny when people take me seriously lol.

And Jimmie, you could outride me on a 50cc scooter so you don't count lol.
Now hurry up and get the next dragwars sorted.
