Southern Hemisphere SP: 1993 Suzuki RGV250 SP
I know whenever I get an email that starts with “G’day” it’s going to be interesting. My Aussie hook up Chris has come across a nice find for you guys located in the southern hemisphere; a completely stock 1993 RGV250 SP.
Do I need to post another picture? I know this is what everyone is after. Complete RGV250 dry clutches have been selling for over $1000 for quite some time now. They really do make the bike. That rattling sound combined with the pop,pop,pop of the engine is sweet music. You also get the larger 34mm carbs and derestricted SAPC.
Any two stroke with the original pipes and cans is a rare find. The pipes can easily double as a boat anchor. Keep it stock though and you will have no issues. Just add gas and oil and enjoy the ride.
The other benefit of the SP, more adjustable suspension front and rear. Probably still too softly sprung for the bigger boys.
From the auction:

THESE BIKES ARE GETTING HARDER TO FIND AND WILL ONLY GET HARDER HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN ONE OR UPGRADE FROM YOUR STANDARD RGV250.
CAN SHIP WORLDWIDE.
I was wrong, this one is available to anyone willing to foot the bill for shipping worldwide. This isn’t a museum piece though, it has been ridden. It is past the “I’m scared to ride and scratch it” stage with 20,000km’s. With the dollar doing its’ best impression of a lead balloon, the $7,500 AUD BIN price is pretty much $7,500 American. You don’t stumble across SP’s every day though so I can understand if you are tempted. .

Japanese SP models are still restricted to 45HP stock
Good catch. I got sloppy and forgot about what SP I was talking about. Japanese spec SP’s were restricted to 45hp and also kept the 32mm carbs. SP’s they exported got the 34mm carbs and derestricted CDI.
Damn, maybe I’m still wrong. Check out this list from rgv250.co.uk. It gives specs by serial numbers. It looks like all VJ22’s with a dry clutch (SP’s) all got 34mm carbs.

They got the 34mm carbs but had the restricted SPAC box and pipes may of been too.

same bike same colour same spec with mine.. but mine is 32mm carb
do you have manual book + parts catalog for these bike?
if you have it.. let me know.
Service manuals are readily available on Ebay. With some looking around the web you can find the parts microfiche in pdf form. I think I found the whole service manual as well in pdf form.
yes alot of manual and parts catalog in microfiche+ebay web as well,but none in their list is for this model (SP FP JDM), just saw one in yahoo japan auction but fully in japanese language.
A actually own a VJ23 and GSXR400R which both only have manuals in Japanese. Even in Japanese they are worth having. You can generally follow along from the pictures and diagrams. Off hand, i can’t remember if the VJ22SP was ever exported so it may be the same way with only Japanese versions. I checked all my usual secret places on the net and didn’t see one for the SP either.
