I sold my 90 RGV250 to Moto2 imports and it is going to be in a upcoming Cycle World magazine test against a Honda NSR250 and a Yamaha TZR250.
The shipping was delayed and the bike arrived just the day before the test. I guessed on the jetting and lucked out, it ran great. Love seeing a bike
I couldn't legally ride here end up doing what it was made for, the track. Tim at Moto2, imports these bikes for a living, and then titles and restores them
with the help of Speedworks. As soon as I escape California, another RGV250 will be in my garage.

The article was interesting. Like to see a gamma vs RZ500 test too. Nice bike.

I just picked up the magazine and it's great to see another one of my bikes in print. To bad they got the bike just the day before the test and
didn't have time to sort it out like the NSR and TZR. Before the bike shipped I changed the jetting since I knew it would be way to lean
from my 6000ft setting. The biggest issue they had with the bike was the front brakes. It had 6 piston GSXR 600 calipers and that's way
to much for such a light bike. I told Tim I wish they could have used my Pepsi bike. I had that one well sorted and the correct calipers on the
front. Tim from Moto2 sold the bike right after the test so it's now in a good home and finally legally titled in one of the 49 states that follow
federal grey market laws.
