Many of the most iconic race replicas are rolling billboards for tobacco products: Marlboro, John Player, Gauloises, Lucky Strike. Of course, that’s no longer the case, with tobacco manufacturers largely banned from advertising on race bikes and cars, but it’s hard to deny that those designs are memorable. But what if you’re a racing fan,…
Before you get too excited, this RGV250 is located in Japan, so if you want this one in your garage, you’ll have to navigate the requirements for getting it shipped to and then registered wherever you live. Unless you’re in Japan… The RGV250 Γ “Gamma” was introduced in 1988 to replace the two-stroke parallel-twin RG250…

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…
