rg500 to rgv500

[toe1959]

this was my old rg500 ex race bike I had for over 11 years, was good in its day, now a good 600 will be quicker,

it was just the sound of them four pipes on song, still miss it,

the motor ended up in a rgv250 frame, this was all done before the net was around, hours looking in mcn etc

good old days. sorry poor pics.

Bet you wish you still had it like most of us do our old bikes, how did we ever manage without t'internet ???

sold it for £1500 after the crank let go,  prob be all them 3rd gear ragging it on the back wheel,

mate down the road has still got his rgv500 with a spare engine, getting big bucks now for them.

that looked gorgeous in the lucky paint and standard frame, and your probably right about the 600 leaving it behind but the 600 wouldn't sound remotely as cool or smell as sweet.

Great photo's! That's the one thing I miss about pre internet days though, fewer and fewer local breakers yards to spend a Saturday morning rummaging through, browsing auction sites just doesn't smell the same.

cool pics I miss my RZV 500 always wondered what a Rgv 500 would be like,
