Re: Petros RZ's .....
Well the comparison is quite difficult as we are speaking abt different bikes.
Also this specific RGV is the open unrestricted model VJ22A open CDI with 34mm carbs , speedo 240 klm and announced 62 hp & top speed 210 klm.
I mention this because there are restricted Japan models with restricted CDI , speedo 180 klm , 32mm carbs announced 45 hp.
With the 421cc there is nothing to compare as that bike pulled away with grunt at all rpm like a locomotive.
The RGV 250 shows weak at low rpm's and when revving at idle revs feel quite weak but that is due to the design of these V-2 engines
once you hit over 5000 rpm then the bike really wakes up , the engine revs high and gives you the feeling like a small race replica.
With the yellow RZ 350 I would say that the RZ would be in the front but maybe the RGV would catch it high top speed because of aerodynamics.
Jon I would never , never dismantle this RGV

Re: Petros RZ's .....
heehee, I know, I was just joking mate. :)
The Japanese spec has a lesser rear shock, but... it does have one good part... it has the SP lower triple clamp in alloy :)

Re: Petros RZ's .....
A small update , time has changed for me ,
I still do not own a RZ
With my sick habbits surely that 421cc would not be able to catch up with me ,
I've blown it three or four times if I remember well ,
One time she seized on me with last gear going flat on throttle maybe 210 +++ klm
and was sliding all over the place ..... ( thank god I was able to save that one , the lock up clutch delayed to release )
I've changed lots bikes ,
for dirt I own now a Husky FC 350
Still own my two liter bikes GSXR 1000 R with many mods sick fast bike pulls like a loco , then the Aprilia RSV-4 best handling bike
also got a NSR MC21 ( wet clutch ) .....
Then I was looking for a RZ again and suddenly this one ..... Honda NSR 250 MC18 1989 SP tera ( dry clutch )
Still to complete , new paint , full engine rebuilt , tank , wheels ,
JHA exhausts
or Tyga SS we will see will try out both
Also the Berg 650 , another sick single , pulls like a train.
Then I'm still looking for a RZ , this one pops up Cagiva Mito 125cc SP 525
Arrow exhaust for this one
So I'm still looking out for a RZ and this one sparkled ..............
GPZ 1000 RX 1987 model in stock condition ........will make this one like new

That IT brings back memories. Raced many enduro miles on 2 different IT 200's. Could take them apart with my eyes closed....

Re: Petros RZ's .....
Petros! I like your taste in bikes. I would welcome almost all of the street bikes and I am quite picky about what stays in my garage!
