I'm selling my FZR400 and looking for my next canyon toy. For years I've wanted a RGV250 and I have a chance to buy one that
has been titled and plated in this crappy state of California. Parts may be a problem but I have found a few places.
Bike weighs 306lb dry and 62hp, that's 100lbs less than my FZR. Anyone here ever owned one and can give some advice
before purchase?

Very nice. You are lucky at even having a shot at making on offer to purchase a bike like that in these parts.

My concern with it being a grey market bike is the future with it. It's been titled here in Ca for a long time and has current
registration. That's all fine and good but what happens next year when I move to Colorado and try and transfer the title.
My wife likes the bike too because it's about the same size as here FZR400 but even lighter. I'm not getting any younger
and a modern 2-stroke is on my bucket list. :D
