Default Cheap RGV Trackbike found on eBay

I didn't want to put this in the 'Bikes For Sale' section as it's not mine, nor do I know the seller. I stumbled on a cheap Suzuki RGV trackbike with a trailer included in eBay, and thought somebody may be interested.

I'd snap it up too, but the $'s are prior spoken for with a top-end rebuild and performance mods to the Mito. You win some, you lose some eh?!

And Nat, you'd be scratching for excuses to go riding with something like that on the road! Hehe!

Yeh i would... a couple of gurantees with this one, rooted engine,rooted everything else, but the trailer looks good!.
Seriously i would consider a 250 stroker for track fun, it's not a cheap exercise tho (as you know) hard riding means regular tuning and rebuilds with these wicked little hand grenades.. The triples eating my funds at the mo

I wouldnt want one as a road bike but it would make a nice little track bike , cheap to 1k$ including a trailer .

Low distance travelled( as a track bike) should ensure a 'reasonable life ' between rebuild as long as it didnt eat any power valves, it would be much more friendly on tyres etc than a bigger trackie to.

hmmmmmmmmm to late no funds one day mebee

Knowing how many track-fiends are here, I figured there was bound to be someone who would be keen. Yes I'm whoring out the 2-stoke concept atm, but once you've tried it you'll totally get it!

The RGV is an ideal track weapon, plenty of info available, spare parts are easily sourced and inexpensive, and they are so good to ride.

Luke and I were looking at bike trailers the other day and they seem to average around the $500 mark, so to get both for roughly $1k (pending the auction outcome) it's a darned good deal regardless of the bike needing some work. Plenty of spares can be found on eBay as well.

I just wish I had the available $'s to outlay atm, but the rebuild and mods for the Mito are priority.
