Lucky Strike Suzuki RGV 250

I'll never forget the first time i ever clapped eyes on an RGV250. It was at a racing show in York (maybe 1985) and I just stood there open mouthed. To me it was everything a bike should be, small, light, quick, a two stroke and a light year away from everything that went before.

 

The Schwantz replica paint job just made it look even more awesome and hey, nearly twenty years on it still hits the spot as far as I'm concerned. I remember standing in Bill Popes in Warrington deliberating over one. So did I buy it? Unfortunately not. For some reason which I'll never know and which I'll always regret I had a funny turn and bought a CBR 600 instead. S****
