    Got to admit I find things like that a little sad. Bikes are made to be ridden.

    I'd keep one in original spec but ride it and use the other as a project and make it as up to date as possible, using upside forks and rgv 250 bits

    I had the pleasure of seeing two Rg500's in a mates garage.He has over 30 bikes in there crammed.From cagivas, kawasaki drag bikes and suzuki rg500x2 1 blue n white the other Lucky strike.An Rg125 plus an Rg250 in bits .Many I couldn't get to cos they were just crammed in there.Gathering dust and spiders.

    Sacriledge.Tell me about it.I wanted to clean all the dust n webs off of all of the bikes.Just to see em clean.There were 6 of us mates willing to clean em whilst he was cooking the barbie.I was interested in the 2 Cagiva raptors he had.Funny looking bikes similar to the Ducati monster.I reckon that lot he had was worth 100k.From his first bike Ar50 to his 07 zx10r and every bike he bought in between since 1988.He is married not to a women but to his bikes.And the girls he has had have all gave him an ultimatum and the bikes won.One drag bike is in the dining room and the zx10r is in th hallway.Strange but a great mate.
