Latest addition to the collection .. 'For the 2-strokers!'

[Keith]

Howdy all..

Just thought I'd post a few pictures of my latest vehicle: A 1994 RGV250R. The bike is totally standard, just been serviced and a genuine 14000 miles on the clock, previously owned by a two-stroke enthusiast with too many bikes in his garage.

Anyway, the pics..

(I would of got some pictures of the other side, but I couldnt get a decent one due to the sun.)

She's in excellent condition, I'd say immaculate but theres a few imperfections, either way, its not been dropped and I'm over the moon.

Its going to be my track bike, get a few track days done and I plan to start club racing next year for the new season. Going to be very expensive to run and maintain but I dont really care, its a fantastic machine!

One very happy Keith! .. Until it goes pop anyway.

Nice one keith. Thank god you didn't get another rs125, eh!!!

Smart buy, always wanted one, but can't afford it at the moment (well could but I like having a bit of change in my pocket)

Insurance? How much? Or are you not putting it on the road, full stop?

Keith you lucky b*stard! What a lovely machine, and in the best colour too! Looks bloody great! And a reasonable price as well. Now all you have to do is ditch the Bandit! Don't take the RGV on track days please. As tatters said, it would be such a waste. Cheap KR1S's going cheap on ebay, and they're a tad faster than the RGV.

The only thing I can fault about the RGV is the powervalves it uses. I have the RG which is the baby brother, and that uses the same valves as the RGV, but only uses two, whereas the RGV uses four! Ouch. So you got to make sure they are checked for weaknessess, because they are prone to falling into your barrell! Best way to make sure that doesn't happen is to buy Dave Cooper Racing valves, which would cost you 580 quid (240 for me because I only need two). These are made so that theres no chance of any of the valves dropping. But as an added bonus, they are reported to give an increase in power, in the RG125's it was claimed a 5bhp increase. These valves are wickedly expensive, so just make sure you check yours!

Take care of it, and it may not cost you as much as you think!

(Josh looks at the RD350LC's).

I had big plans for this bike, but I'm probably going to get insured and tax it, use it for a month then sell it on for a 400 4T, something which wont sting me for reliability issues as I just want a bike to start racing with but without stupid costs. Dont matter though, I'm pleased with it for now but doubt it'll be in my possession for long. Mainly bought it as I was getting such a bargain, would be in profit if I decided to sell it, which I probably will once the v5 has come through in a few weeks time.

At least it smokes a lot, in true 2t stylee!

Yeah I'm sure you'll definitely make a profit on that. That'll give you plenty of money to buy a mint CBR400 NC29 in Repsol colours!

You've done no track days and you plan to start racing next season....

[Keith]

[Shaun]

You may want to find out if you're actually quick or not first, you can be the quickest person in you're group on the road but the track is a different place full of uber quick people.

Lovely bike. Does seem as if it'd be a bit of a shame to let what looks like such a tidy bike go down the track bike route.

I knew it was only a matter of time before you bought a 250 smoker after the comments you gave my TZR.

If you did want to take up racing, you can get plenty of ratty TZRs on eBay and enter Yamaha Past Masters with BMCRC.

Cheapish.

Lovely bike, too good to race/become a track tool though.
