Rgv250

[rocket]

I want one I have been on about buying a 2 stroke 250 for a while . I used to have a rs250 Track bike years ago I hardly rode it and pretty much sold it without putting 20 miles on it. I would love to have another go on one but they are going for really silly money. The rgv seems the more sensible option but am i living in a daydream land were things used to be better than they were or should i step up and smell the 2 stroke oil.

I love the idea of a 2-stroke, but I worry how will it will cope with my more than amble frame these days. I'm a lot heavier than I was last time I rode a TZR250. I also know I am a lot lazier, more so since riding a twin, so probably wouldn't enjoy constantly having to rag the balls of it to get anywhere.

The biggest thing that puts me off is the fragility of the engines. It doesn't take much to pop one, and a rebuild costs..

I still love the idea though, brings out the kid in me.... zingggggggggg, ngngngngngngg, zinnnggggggm ngngngng......

im with you on this. im bigger than i was in my teens/twenties, and the maintenance/fragility is something i cant be bothered with. i think i'll just remember them from my good/great younger days and now take pleasure in watching others out on them.

Rocket. Fook being sensible. It won't be your only bike and it would be an amazing project. Do it and don't look back I say

I want one too Rocket. I had an RZ250 in my youth and had 3 different 2 stroke off-road bikes. I'm with Blade, if you can afford it as an addition, do it!

P.S. I'm still the same weight I was 20 yrs ago

Frankie still has a KR1S , I always wanted the rd500lc.

Go for it. Like Blade says it wont be your only bike.

I think I would crush a 250 2 stroke

Well I am while I'm on an enforced alcohol break and sweating my arse off while dealing with endless stairs and tropical heat offshore at work. During my break I may add a few kgs on occasion and have to burn them all off again next time I come out! I'm not a big beer drinker and keep pretty active and always have had physically demanding jobs, so it's more good luck and genetics than good management thats kept me at this weight.

Always wanted an RS250 and I think Stan Stephens does a 350 road conversion which is supposed to be extremely reliable. Not sure if it's still avialable but would be an amazing project machine.

Get one. I always wanted one after my 125.
