Short But Sweet: Titled 1992 Suzuki RGV250 VJ22
An eagle eyed RSBFS reader spotted this lonesome picture of an RGV looking for a new home and sent it our way. Normally I’d skip posting a bike with a single photo but this darn thing has everything a perspective RGV owner would be looking for. It has low mileage, is close to stock but derestricted, is titled and the asking price is sane.
Here’s the info:
1992 Suzuki Rgv250, VJ22 RGV250 N Blue White Fresh Rebuilt motor Sugaya Race Pipes TZMike carbon Silencers 22D30 SAPC (full power) 34mm carbs Fully derestricted Michelin Pilot Sport tires New Chain and Sprockets New Battery Legal Title Registered Bike runs very strong.
Now, the ad states the mileage is 2,400 miles. I’m going to assume that is not correct since the engine has been rebuilt and it needed new running gear. I know this paint scheme is not one of Suzuki’s greatest achievements but fluorescent colors are back baby, if you haven’t noticed. On the bright side (get it?) it does have the “gull” arm everyone likes. The chambers may indeed be Sugaya’s but the mufflers usually attach with springs. It is a common mod to add a plate so they can accept modern mufflers.
The asking price is a reasonable $5,000. The listing is on Cycle Trader and you can see it here.

I cannot tell if those are true sugaya’s like mentioned the silencers should be held on by springs and the pipes where bare metal not painted but! the stock pipes are slip on style for the silencers with rubber hose n clamps holding them on.
I just wanted to touch base with you and say thanks for posting A link to my RGV 250N sale. To clarify, the bike has unknown mileage and the miles listed are on the rebuilt motor. When I purchased the bike it had no speedo. Being a Japanese domestic model it would have come with a KMH Speedo. I purchased a UK MPH Speedo which is on the bike now.
I built the motor from the crank up so it is fresh and really strong. The other point in question is the Sugaya Pipes. They had the cheesy aluminium Sugaya end cans on them and I wanted to upgrade to my friend Mikes silencers which are a thing of beauty. So I did in fact have the pipes modified with plates to attach TZMikes silencers. The bike is jetted and runs crisp and strong. As far as cosmetically the bike is in decent condition and shows some scratches and wear that any 20 year old bike would. No dents in the frame or swingarm. also it has a legal title which any 2 stroke nutter will tell you is worth its weight in gold. The bike turns heads wherever it goes. I have 3 other RGV’s including a VJ23 and have to say there is no more fun that could be had on a bike than hitting the powerbsnd on a V twin 2 stroke :).
Dave,
Good luck with the sale. Ready to send that other VJ22 back to its’ rightful owner? lol

Hey Ian! Good to hear from you and thanks for the
well wished. As for the two Lucky’s they are staing with me 🙂
You still have your VJ23? I hope so!
It was worth a try. Oh yeah, still have the 23. I hope the post helps you out on the sale.
THE BIKE HAS NOW SOLD
I WILL HAVE ANOTHER 1992 RGV250 N FOR SALE IN A FEW MONTHS.
Be careful of this seller. We had agreed on finalizing the purchase, then all of a sudden he backs out with no explanation. 2 emails have gone unanswered. Somebody made him a higher offer after the link to the sale appeared on here??
Pretty low-class-if you ask me.
