For extra thrills try riding it when it's windy, cross winds are a barrel of laughs! 
Oh, and buy a cushion for the seat!

I've seen average RGV's selling for £3k 
Nice condition RS250 seems to cost as much as a nice late model NSR these days |

90's |
I thought it was introduced in '88, but I might be wrong, anyway, I'd change my NC27 for that bike right away.

Have you ridden one before?
I was going to say I used to commute on one but it was actually a 21 mile blast along Scottish B roads, every day.
Very tall first gear, numb bum after 30 mins, needs to be thrashed, remorselessly, or it will coke the plugs!
All in all a proper bike then!

Hi Sid, No, but I've ridden an RGV250 which apparently is peakier, and the seat on the KR1S seems to be luxuriant in comparison with the FZR400. The bars are also high, and close to the seat, and the pegs are low. Compared to the FZR400...
I suspect it'll be nicer to ride than that!

Very very cool.
I'm not a Kwaka fan, but this is acceptable in my book.
Would LOVE LOVE LOVE an early 250 2poke sports bike. It's just trying to justify one. The Chaly is my toy atm. |

Sweet bike, the absence of a garage is all that is stopping me buying this at the moment....
