RGVXXX Special
Riding an RGXXX (more than one) as my only personal transport for eighteen years (XXX,XXX km) allowed me to know it rather well. built this RGXXX/RGVXXX with team of specialists fourteen years ago because the RGXXX engine is so much fun, and improving everything else would be worth while. The best parts were sourced from around the world to build this bike to high standard that thought would never sell. That day has arrived. This RGVXXX has just received refurbish. New fairing, paint, air filters, ball float valves, fork seals and oil, gearbox oil, spark plugs, rebuilt brakes, carbs, mufflers, to go with the dozens of special parts and modifications of the original build. The XXXcc engine has done XX,XXX km and is running strongly. Conservatively tuned for longevity. Never been raced. Continuously road registered (expires June XXXX).
