Nice.
Had a Pepsi RG125 as a learner and bought a 1986 RG500 in 1989 when i passed my test.Loved the stroker's back in the day.

Ha, I had a RG500 in 89 too, nearly killed myself in it... Would like another...

They go for serious money now,up to 20 grand for a minter.Crashed mine 3 times and blew it up twice.Had it rebuilt and tuned by Dave Goddard.Still my favourite bike i have ever owned.

For me, it didn't get better than the bikes I owned. The gixxer was unreal! 178 bhp it weighed 165kg. Capable of 0-62mph in 2.35 seconds. The mighty K5 1000.

Loved my fireblade too. A bit tamer but you were in control. Silky smooth ride. The gixxer was like riding a bull, you fought to control the power.

Great bikes. Lethal in the wrong hands.

Sounds like fun, must have been mental with the tune . I wrote mine off.... Been looking at the custom RGV500s...As you say big money.... Can't beat that 500 engine, my best bike ever,, although my RGV is a very special bike too...

After passing my test in 1973 I got this 750 Fastback Commando,a bit of a change from the Yammy 100 I passed the test on.I fell off it the first day & didn't tell anyone about it for years....note the flares lol
