Description

Additional photos are available here for your perusal.

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: VJ21A128247. It came to Iconic as an import from the UK.

The odometer shows 18,113 miles.
