I like a big engine in something I don't have to pick up.

Frickin' gorgeous...kinda looks like a murder hornet from the front...if you pretend, a little.

That's awesome.

drifting on snow/ice is pretty easy to do...doing it on dry asphalt, especially at speed, it much harder.

Meh...that's easy compared to supermoto stuff...that's just a really fast rolling burn out.

Will pay cash or trade several of my collectable two stroke street bikes (RZ500, RZ350, RD350LC, TZR250, RD400, YSR50, etc...) for a Suzuki RG500. Interested in descent complete bikes but open to projects as well.

nice quiver

I just texted him and gave him a line on an RG500.

Cool, I think he's a friend of a friend.

Last I knew, the local one was near $30k...but was an impeccably done restomod.

That RD350 is missing it's seat. I'll take it off his hands for $500 since it is incomplete and unrideable.

i had a very brief 2 stroke experience in the 80s...a Honda NS400R...2 stroke powerbands on a sport bike are...interesting...twist the throttle, then hang the f on...72HP out of a 387cc, 403 lb (wet) bike...fun times.

Edit: original image no longer shows up...replaced with another.

i bought mine in 1988 for $3500...it just eked out a CB-1, which i also really like...that bike was $4000 (i think)...the CB-1 was still one of my favourite bikes (admittedly, i have a few)...i didn't own one, but took one for a test drive on a demo day.

I had an FZR400 and a buddy had a CB-1.

Fun times!

Is there something special about this particular year that makes it "worth" more? (to the seller at least). You can find newer 800's with fewer k's for less money. So other than the...stickers??

1993 Honda VFR750F (RC36) V4 $5,500

Gotta admit, it does look super clean.
