I remember it being for sale maybe 7 or 8 years ago, don't know where it ended up. I think he got into an FZ1 or something, his aging back couldn't deal with the RZ. You would get more info on the 500 side.
Re: Motorcyclist July 1999 Pg 28, RZV500R
Yup... that's Wyn's RZV. He sold it several years ago, not sure where it is today. He had bought an FZ1 and started making trick parts for that series after selling the RZV. The six-pot calipers you see on his bike in the photo now reside on one of my 500s...
The "Steve Cisewski" mentioned in the article is actually "RGVSteve" who is well-known around here.
And, for the record, Wyn is not a "founding father" of the club.... that distinction goes to one Paul Moore from Canada who started the club in 1988. I took it over from him in '89. Wyn did help produce and distribute the club's print newsletters for me in the middle 90's. His technical knowledge of the 500 was second to none, and that bike was a rolling piece of art...
