Which came first RZV500R or RD/RZ 500's ?

#1 Post by ChequeredFlagRacing » Fri Sep 25, 2020 7:02 am

Reason I ask is the fairing headstock bracket use spacers to to mount it on the steel frame headstock and the alloy JDM bike doesn't.

I've asked on facebook but as some forum users may not use it I thought I'd ask here also

from a facebook reply
The information that I read was posted to the RZV500R net forum many years ago and was a follow up interview with the original design team.
Has anyone got a link to the post from this forum?
