That's a lot of exhaust/silencing/brakes for a 50cc engine. :D

You can be all modern now and get an electron powered one. :thumbup:

Watched a Youtube video last night of a Japanese motorcycle show, the whole video just showed
Z900 conversions. Seems there is a whole after market scene over there making Z900'S look like
older models.

Sorry, crappy pics. RG250 Wolf with a Katana (assuming 400) top fairing. I like it.

EDIT:

Found an old ad for it...

Had an '86 back in the day, that was last seen being loaded for transport to the local cop shop after some questionable behavior. Then it somehow *disappeared*

A couple of nicely done H2 restomods. I'd take the green one any day.

Stolen from a Friendface group.

1989 VJ21 RGV250, reckons it weighs 124kg with all liquids.

I think it's a very pretty motorcycle.

Stumbled on this when I was looking at Desmosedicis, it's Alan Cahtcarts ex-racer mono.
The price though :shock:

My mate Brian raced one when they first came out, it eventually got punted on when he changed classes, etc... I think it's the only bike he really regrets selling.

I always fancied one, but they''ve never been in my price range and now they're bonkers.
I'm sure I remember them being around £10k when I bought my 90SS that was around three grand.
