Golden State polluters rejoice, here is a chance to add a few more hydrocarbons to the atmosphere. This one is a later model VJ22; if the colors are original they would make it a 1995. If the 240KPH speedo and mirrors are original I”m pretty sure you are looking at a full power export model. Ask the seller for the SAPC model number for a better idea.
The info:
1996 SUZUKI RGV 250 GAMMA.Rare bike in the US especially with such low miles.The milage on the gauges is in kilometers.California registration and title.Registration good until the end of Nov 2013.Mechanically and cosmetically in excellent condition.Left fork leg seal is weeping very slightly so I am including a new set of seals but I dont think its an urgent repair.It is missing right side fairing bolt that fell off in transit yesterday sadly.Couple of light marks from tie downs on upper fairing and slight rust on rotor carrier area.Lower fairings blue has been repainted and looks very original .It has been down on the right side but the damage is limited to mirror back scratched and mark on swingarm, fairing paint and appears fully repaired.Not all the decals are there. Everything I consider imperfect is in the photos but I am critical and want to list everything.I think this is a 9/10 bike by my standards,yours may differ so please ask questions and ask for additional photos should you need to see something closer.Inspections are suggested. Everything works as it should with no problems.Exhaust is stock and has been re coated.No modifications to the motor.Good tires and ready to ride or add to your collection.It will be sold at a fair price but it is not a give away so please make sensible offers and I will sell it to you.I can assist in world wide shipping. I have a clean Ca title in hand and I have no spares or other parts for the bike. It is a 17yr old bike and is not perfect but it is a very sweet, very rare 2 stroke rocket.
Yes, the bodywork is kind of patch work but the metal bits sure look in good shape. The spots that usually have corrosion look pretty clean.
Stock mufflers all glossed up.
I’ll let you check out the auction for the BIN; yikes! The good news is that there is a best offer option and as you read, the seller is encouraging sensible offers.

A sensible offer would be half of the BIN.
Saw this bike on craigslist a month or so ago in San Mateo………. $7500.00. So will it sell for more now? A few weeks later? Love the bike .. not the price hike.
I wish I’d seen it on Craigslist, that seems like a much more sensible price. These prices make me think of Buffet’s investing advice: when everyone else is greedy, be afraid. When everyone is afraid….be greedy. Looks like this seller believes we are afraid there won’t be another one of these anytime soon.
Too high! price and seller!
There is a nice RZ 350 f/s locally about a month ago orginal seller had it for 3500 a month later it’s back on cl for 4800 different seller.
