    My Suzuki two stroke addiction...

    ​I know they are small in dimension, but incredibly big on grins.

    My RGV family of project 250 V-twin strokers


    VJ23T

    it's the purple pink one



    VJ22FL

    The tail has since been changed to the correct SP black, as shown above




    VJ21L

    Still collecting parts for this one




    VJ22N

    A project that will always be in limbo...

    Those pipes are really cool. When I rode my bike to San Filepe Mexiso and entered it into a race to Ensenada over the highway, one of the guys from European Cycles entered an RGV. I don't remember how well it did. That was 1987 or 1988. I'll have to look at the tee shirt to verify it, ha ha. It was the year that the Ducati F-1 Laguna Seca came out.

    Nice freaking shop, by the way.

          I dont know what those designations mean, but im pretty sure its code for big time fun.

          Busa, when are you starting the GT build?

            My VJ23 looks like this at the moment, after soda blasting off 20 years of abuse in a Japanese climate.



            Which means the GT750 is still waiting for attention....I've got a fair amount invested in the VJ23, so it had to go under surgery first.
            The GT will be next after the pink screamer is smoking good....I have a feeling my GT will end up as my favorite rider, if I can do it like I see it in my head.

            VJ22N can come in several flavors...Euro/Australia version is about 62 advertised HP, the home market Japanese version is 45. But the VJ22 is very easily unrestricted if a home market version.
            With straight plug heads, pipes, carb work, and different powervalves....70hp real world rear wheel horsepower, will open your eyes on a 250lbs bike.

              Heres my other 72 GT.
              This was at the Motoblot show in Chicago a few years ago...



              The Cafe GT750 project.....well.....it has a way to go yet.

                May I ask if the front end on the VJ22N is stock? I love the look of the bike as a whole.

                  Both VJ22's have their original front forks....the FL has a RF600 3.5 wheel and GSXR Nissin calipers, and the N has Hayabusa calipers...both have factory SP rotors

                      The Suzuki VJ23 is now basically finished, except for the tuning when I have time to put in the Zeel ignition

                              Thanks guys.... Yea turn signals will help me stay alive on the street for a while as I get it broke in, And then get the new programmable ignition set up for the power valve opening, air valve to carb opening, ignition curve, and then the same for 100 octane +..... Then It might see a track day if I can get a HP curve to my liking.
                              I should find some chewed up worn out bodywork for the track day too, as this bike makes me feel I take near ANY curve at any speed I want....I know it will bite me at some point.
