Just as Yamaha's TZR was usurped as top 250 by Kawasaki's KR1-S, so the latter would have to give best to Suzuki's RGV250, on the racetrack at least. And that's where so many of these high-performance two-strokes ended up, battling with Honda VFR, Yamaha FZR and Kawasaki ZXR 400cc four-strokes in 'Supersport 400' racing. The most highly developed road-going stroker before the arrival of Aprilia's RS250, which used the Suzuki's v-twin engine, the RGV250 was easily capable of showing the heavier 400s the way home on short circuits, and even humbled the larger-capacity 'diesels' at the Isle of Man, where Eddie Laycock won the Supersport 400 TT in 1989. Cheap to buy and relatively inexpensive to maintain, the RGV250 remains a popular entry-level club racer even today, and as one of the last generation of two-stroke sports roadsters is increasingly sought after by collectors.

This RGV250F was purchased by the vendor a few years ago and has been kept as part of his collection. The machine was last taxed to 28th February 2013 and the current odometer reading is 17,401 miles. Not much history is known. Dry stored since acquisition, the machine will require recommissioning before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns over). Offered with a V5C document and an expired MoT (2013).
