Please Note: this bike starts but it will need work (detailed in the “Maintenance” section) before it can be a rider. The tank is rusty so we only ran it on a bottle and did not perform a test ride.
Introduced at the end of the 80s, the RGV250 was filled with design cues from Suzuki’s 250cc Gamma Grand Prix racer. When de-restricted, it produced over 60 horsepower to motivate just 282 pounds of dry weight. Visor Down called it “the purest and most race-bred two-stroke track tool ever to make it into a showroom.”
The VJ21 (first generation RGV250) was an impressive machine with its V-Twin two stroke engine, Mikuni carbs, and alloy beam frame.
This example is VIN: J21A124461. It came to Iconic as an import from Japan; prior history is not known.
The odometer shows 41,752 kilometers (25,943 miles).
