Re: SUZUKI RG B 500 MK7 RACE GP BIKE
Aye, it does seem a lot but bike prices seem to have gone nuts in general recently and theres a lot less interesting bikes selling for silly money as well.
I'd be interested to see the full spec as the advert doesn't give much away.
Those wheels are Dymags aren't they?
The only thing I've ever seen Dymags on was John Robinsons CR500 hillclimb bike and even that was in a magazine so I'm not positive.
Think PB did an article on making Dymag wheels as well.

So it's not special enough... as in ridden by a well known racer, or a championship winner, to be a collectable display bike (imho).
That means you'd use it as a classic race/parade bike, which then asks the question, just how much maintenance/money would it cost to keep it running?

Aye, just put it in the massive heap of other RG 500 racebikes you see every day...KungFooBob wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 7:02 pm So it's not special enough... as in ridden by a well known racer, or a championship winner, to be a collectable display bike (imho).

Re: SUZUKI RG B 500 MK7 RACE GP BIKE
could be one that been put together from a few bikes, there are so many that are like that, from a distance they look proper but when up close not 100%, plus your right who rode it ???demographic wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 7:10 pmAye, just put it in the massive heap of other RG 500 racebikes you see every day...KungFooBob wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 7:02 pm So it's not special enough... as in ridden by a well known racer, or a championship winner, to be a collectable display bike (imho).

Maintenance is ok, if you know what your doing and only parading it.
Go to Goodwood they usually have a few RG's

That looks plain and dull. But I've ridden one, and completely insane.

It should have a full strip and rebuild after an hours use.
