    Mates RGV 250 project

    A mate bought a nice old rgv 500 last year and has been restoring it. He has done a few other bikes aswell in the past.
    Bike completely stripped, bits re chromed, bits blasted, re painted.
    Complete engine and gearbox rebuild at a fair cost.
    New fairing, new exhausts the list goes on and on.
    Anyway here's a few pics of it to its current state

    Will add more when he gets a bit further on with it

    Yep your right, just spoke to him and it is a 250.
    Don't know why but I had it in my head it was a 500.
