          Racks are full now, and the move is done, so now I can get back to bikes again.

          What a wonderful collection!

            Horse drawn carriage.....yea, I'm in the corn fields of Amish country....

              Cool video, and happy holidays to you as well.
              I saw the above listing and thought of you.

                Damn...I looked at pic before seeing what it was listed as and thought.....it's a RG500...!!! I'm buying it...
                And then took a second look and it is a 250....but yes, it is a very cool little bike and it uses Suzuki's very first aluminum production frame (83/87)
                Values on nearly anything two stroke have been moving up at a good rate.

                  Just saw this:
                  209 Lbs 70 HP
                  What we have here is a brand new concept from Italian start-up Vins Motors—a 250cc two-stroke parallel twin in a carbon monocoque chassis, with no welds and the all-important Euro 4 compliance.

                  It meets Euro4, so potentially could come to the US.

                    I've seen a few write ups on that bike....would be cool if it became reality, but $30,000 is a lot of money...
                    Although the new Suter MMX500 is way more $$$ It is real and it is bad ass

                        I just drained the account again....
                        But I did get a V4 2 stroke.....far from new.....a dreambike I have let torment me for the last time.
                        Aluminum frame RZV500....did not want a steel frame RZ or RD version
                        Japan was the only place to go for it.

                        Hope to have it in the garage and plated before spring.

                            Congrats, Randy.
                            Doing a bit of reading it says the engine was slightly detuned for the Japanese market.
                            Is that easily solved or is that considered sacrilegious for such a rare model?

                            Some pics of the frame welding when you get it would be great.

                              Well one of the GT750's is gone....sold and living in the UK now.
                              But my KD80 and RGV250 VJ23T are not on the list....and the RZV is yet to be available for an actual head count.

                                I'll definitely get pics.... I love pics
                                The detuning was done by putting a sleeve in the head pipes necking them down, and smaller main jets/different needles/pilots....
                                Cut the welds on the pipes and have all the sleeves out in 20 minutes, then rejet....still looks 100% but runs like it was designed to run.
                                Ignition boxes were the same in all of them, so no change there.
