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.”
Even 30 years later, it’s still held up well. Per MCN: “It still looks good, sounds amazing and the smell of burning two-stroke oil will take you right back. Put simply, it’s still sensational.”
Manufactured in March of 1992, this example is VIN: JS1VJ22A8N2100356. The seller began this project in 2012.
The odometer has been replaced. The true mileage is unknown.
