1993 Suzuki RGV250

VJ22A123XXX

RARE 1993 Suzuki RGV250 (VJ22) model in limited edition factory Lucky Strike colors, less than 2300 original KMs, and a California title and registration! This is possibly the rarest version of the original factory Lucky Strike models -- the graphics extend onto the frame (powercoated), and was made in very limited quantities, perhaps between 300-500, for the Japanese Domestic Market in 1993 after Kevin Schwantz won the 500cc world title that same year with the Lucky Strike Suzuki team. Rare doesn't even begin to properly describe this bike -- this model is far rarer than any VJ23 SP Lucky Strike model, VJ21 Pepsi etc etc......you may never see another one, let alone for sale! The bike is in museum-quality condition -- ALL original, NO modifications, just over 2300 kms on the odo, just amazing condition. It was in a private collection for much of its life, as a display piece. It runs perfectly, rides like new. It is restricted (as all Japanese market models are) to 40-45hp, and can be easily de-restricted, but I thought it would be a shame on a rare model in original condition like this. Plus, even restricted, it will still do 90-100mph with incredible acceleration etc---unless you’re a racer, this will have plenty of power for street riding. It still has all of its JDM features - KPH speedometer, all labels written in Japanese etc, it is exactly as exported. Original paint and graphics are clean and in excellent condition -- other than replaced air filter, battery, some replaced fairing hardware (couple screws), rebuilt(original) carbs and new tires--- all parts are original! The bike sat for quite a while in a collection and was put “back on the road” in regards to any replaced parts. The bike does have a couple very minor paint dings or scrapes. There are a couple touched-up dings in the red paint, a couple digs in the graphics, some dings in the wheel edges and some scrapes at the very bottom of the fairing – all pictured below in detail. These are all very typical wear marks for a bike this age, with this mileage etc. The only unusual thing is that the bike is missing its clutch-side bar-end weight, but it is as-I received it. Runs great! Starts 1st or 2nd kick, often without choke! Shifts nicely through all gears and doesn’t smoke too much without the choke on (perfect!). Always run with high-quality Yamalube synthetic 2T oil. Best part of all ----the bike has current California registration, title and plates!! (registered as SPCNS with full VIN and engine #) This rare piece of sportbike history can be yours for the low BIN price –you would be hard pressed to find another one, in any condition, let alone this clean and original !!
