I had one of those. Great bike, but not reliable. Inspect the powervalves as soon as you get it home if you buy it!

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I wont be buying any bikes for a while, I love my Firestorm too much to part with it. Laughing But I know lots of us older BCF'ers love the "classics" and the RGV Gamma's were the best of the time.

This.

I have four bikes for this reason. Although part of me would rather have an RGV than my YPVS.

You pay for it and I'll own it buddy. Thumbs Up

On a more serious note though. Couldnt afford it realistically. I have seen lots of bike adverts "new baby forces sale" well my daughters almost 1 and I'm still keeping my bike. Add the fact the we are saving to get out of our council hell hole and buy our own place I cant justify blowing 2K on a bike.

You are not blowing £2000, you are investing £2000 Twisted Evil

Sadly, they are going up in value these days Sad.
Though, recently purchased a KR1S jigsaw for reasonable money, sadly won't be able to sell it for 'reasonable money' Sad.
Oh and I'd say it's pretty reliable.

Much as I say "2 strokes can be reliable if looked after"... 488 billion miles isn't doing too bad Razz.

Possibly the least comfortable road bike ever to turn a wheel. You need bionic wrists and a well padded arse. You also need a good sense of humour to believe that 18 year old thrash toy might seriously only have done 6000 miles Laughing If it really has, that's a bargain.

They do make much bigger bikes look completely ridiculous, which is one thing in their favour. The motors don't quite rival the Kawa triples for infuriating annoyance levels...but they're not far off. Something always needs tweaking or tinkering with. But then 135mph out of a 250 is quite impressive, I guess.
