Last pic is my 91 rgv250. Was a bucket list bike until 4 years ago. I need a rg500 next, I’m too crunched up on the little thing.

I would ride the shit out of this thing and I'm neither a 2 stroke or road bike guy.....

This will likely be the most badass bike here, unless a 500cc gp bike shows up. It’s a tz750. Kenny roberts made em famous.

Wasn't this Kenny Roberts Grand National livery? As SLOWPOKE693 said. nothing but cool.

There are tons of variations but it all comes back to Kenny. None of ya focused on the gas tank did ya? There was a rz(maybeev)500 riding around today but he never stopped in. My rg5 and kawi750 dreams took a hit today, a rg5 is at least 25k and a kawi is at least 15. Learned a bunch about em though, such as you need to flip the footpeg up to start em. reverse shift pattern too

Rgv250 with taiga body work. Rd400’s from when Kenny was mopping up Europeans.

Cycle drag came out again, i'll link the vid when he posts it. He did segments on kawis and a 40hp vespa.

 

[SLOWPOKE693]

40hp Vespa sounds like it could be fun!

Custom cased engine and trans on slicks, fully braced chassis. Unfortunately he wrecked it the day after his interview. Broke his collarbone. Hes also the owner of the other rgv at the event.

I was scrolling through the book of faces and this video came across my feed.

Wish i could see that ! I almost took a video of the tz running, but it doesnt sound unique like the brown gt750/ case inducted engine or the gamma. Just sounded like a 2 stroke
