RGV250 SP Kevin Schwantz Pepsi Replica. Low Reserve! This is the first and super rare RGV SP (sports production), featuring a dry clutch as the most distinguishable difference. Along with front forks with rebound and dampening adjustments. This models was made for the Japanese market with a unrestricted CDI unlike the UK models. These early RGV’s have a 17? front, 18? Rear, combination. This one has Jolly Moto Expansion Chambers which are valued over $1,500 new. The natural finish does not last long on these race exhausts and have since been repainted black and silencers replaced. The body and tank have been painted and fitted with new decals. The inside of the tank is clean and rust free. The clock reads just over 13,600 kilometers. New Tires. New Brakes. Ohlins front fork springs. Upgraded front GSXR calipers with stainless steel brake line. Please note there are minor scratches on front wheel from loading onto a trailer. Also scratches on the left side of the swing arm from a minor low a side previous to rebuild. The left swing arm spool mount was damaged as well. Will need to be drilled and tapped. Everything else was repaired or replaced. Small crack/hole on right side throttle control box. Does not affect function. Last thing to note it is missing the passenger pegs. Rear taillight has hairline crack. The motorcycle is over 20 years old, so imperfections and minor blemishes will be apparent. Overall a great looking motorcycle that needs a little to tidy up. It was a long term project and sat idle for 2 years during the rebuild. It ran well at that time. Even with proper storage prep, the carbs will need to be cleaned as the engine won't come off idle. Typical clogged idle jet characteristic. The only other recommendation would be clean and adjust power valves. We will also include a CD repair manual and original Suzuki parts fiche diagram book. OEM replacement and performance parts can be still purchased in Europe and Japan. There is many online stores, forums and technical sites we can send links to the new owner for future reference.

It has been designed one one thing is mind: to ride as fast as possible from one curve to another. If you touring plans, forget this bike! RGV250 Gamma was based on the RG250 Gamma, a slightly less sportier motorcycle and with a less modern 2-stroke engine. The chassis of the RGV250 is very light, smooth and also very stable. The weight of the bike is very low, only 128 kg (282 lbs) for the first version. The engine is a 90° aluminum V-twin (later 70°) water-cooled 2-stroke delivering 68-67 hp at very high rpm's (the stock bike power output vary between countries, from 40 to 67 bhp). Because the machine is mainly purposed for racing, a trim kit for 70 bhp is offered by Suzuki.

It appears this one has a wet clutch, but it was noted that it did come with a close ratio gear box.
