PLACEHOLDER: COLD START/REV VIDEO
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.
Suzuki offered a Pepsi livery that was inspired by Kevin Schwantz’s Grand Prix racer – the 1988 run was for Japan only, they were SP models with black silencers and flush mount turn signals. They also exported some Pepsi models in 1989 which had the same specifications as a standard non-SP K model (no remote reservoir shock, for example).
This example is VIN: JS1VJ21A3K2100519. The seller acquired it six months ago.
