1992 Suzuki RGV250Γ JDM w/ Cali Plate

Clearly these RGV250 two strokes are a favorite model for Rare Sportbike enthusiasts. We have seen a few grace our pages throughout the years and this example screams early ’90s.
Jeff Ware wrote an article titled Two-Stroke Shootout: Honda NSR250R VS Suzuki RGV250 for Motorcycle.com back in 2016. It was fun to read about his nostalgic day at the track, and I’m sure many of us will relate to his experience.
“The familiar rasp of the RGV pipes overlayed by that unmistakeable blender-full-of-nuts-and-bolts sound an RGV engine makes at idle turns to a crisp, deep braaaaap as I open up the 34mm Mikuni slides, and launch off towards the esses. I instantly feel at home on the RGV (even though I was 143 pounds last time I rode one, far from the 205-pound old man I am now) so I don’t feel quite as compact. In fact, a picture of a Gorilla humping an orange springs to mind…..
Engine-wise, I prefer the RGV. Despite the NSR’s technology and strong top-end power, its gearbox is a difficult shift and the lack of response at 8,000-9 000 rpm gives the nod to the RGV.
Chassis-wise the NSR has it all over the Suzuki, but both bikes are better than most modern machines due to their light and easy-to-manage weight. They really are from an era where us punters truly did benefit from grand prix racing. Long live the race replicas.”

Very cool, looks like a serious build. I remember Gary Goodfellow imported some of these locally BITD.
