1989-1991 Suzuki RGV250 VJ21
The RGV250 (Gamma) is a high performance sports bike which had a great number of its features and design clues based on the Grand Prix technologies and ideas. It is a race-replica based on Suzuki;s 250cc Gp bikes from 1987 to 1998, the RGV Gamma V-2 racer. This motorcycle replaced the RG250 GammaA, which employed an alloy frame with a two stroke parallel twin engine. The bike produced over 50 bhp in a narrow power band between 8,000 to 11,000 rpm. The dry weight ranged between 128 kg (282 lb) (1989) to 140 kg (309 lb) (later models) dry weight.
The top speed of a standard RGV250 is around 130 mph (209 km/h). It has a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of around 3.7 seconds.
This motorcycle's engine performance is not very inspiring at engine speeds under 7,000 rpm, due to the two stroke engine power delivery of a relatively narrow power band. However, once the engine is revved over 8,000 rpm, the power delivery characteristics effectively doubles, as is expected of a two stroke racing motorcycle.
Due to its light weight, engine characteristics and cornering capabilities, it is particularly suited to the track, compared to other motorcycles of similar engine capacity.
