Rzv frame
Hi guys new to here just purchased a rzv500 after owning an original Marlboro rd back 30yrs ago .a few things I’d like to get clarified is the ally frame actually lighter or is it a bit of a myth also the exhaust cans read the same code so the right can reads upside down is this original

Re: Rzv frame
It is lighter and seems strong enough for track use
Re: Rzv frame
Wow that's a big difference
Re: Rzv frame
Did you also get all the extra parts for frame?

Re: Rzv frame
The suspension linkage bolt etc. was what I was thinking.
Re: Rzv frame
Yes, all the parts that are specific to the RZV version.
And that's the bike he bought ( at least he said ).

Re: Rzv frame
Looks like Paul was thinking he just bought an RZV frame, when he actually bought a complete RZV.
