RGV project

Not a dirtbike, but might be of interest to some
Have just finished the rebuild on my 1998 RGV250
pretty happy with how it turned out.
rides well, good fun for 200km...then a literal PITA
had a few issues along the way, sometimes sticking it in the corner and resisting the temptation to burn it.

Like that. Good job

Cool, looks sweet.

They are fun bikes like you say for short blasts.

I bought an 03 Aprillia RS250 brand new when I finished uni, same motor as the rgv with a few tweaks from Aprilia. Had more moments on that bike than any other, it really needed a steering damper.

I would love to get another one and have looked around from time to time over the years, RZ 500 would be another one I'd like to get my hands on.

Thanks
The RS250 was what I really wanted, bit of an aprilia fanboy. But this came up at the time and it was ratty but complete and affordable.
Needed more work than I had planned, but that is often the case with projects

They were an excellent, fun and sometimes scary bike in their day

I had a really nice '96 model, it's one bike I wish I'd been able to keep.
