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: VJ21A114111. The bike was sent to Iconic from Japan.

The odometer shows 30,835 kilometers (19,159 miles).
