When did the last Suzuki RGV250 come out?
The VJ22A ran from 1990 to 1994, with model designations N, M, P, and R. Suzuki again released SP versions of the VJ22A, while a Lucky Strike Suzuki replica replaced the Pepsi Suzuki replica from the VJ21A era. Sadly, 1994 signalled the end of the RGV250, in the UK, at least.
What’s the weight of a Suzuki RGV250 Gamma?
RGV250 Gamma was based on the RG250 Gamma, a slightly less sportier motorcycle and with a less modern 2-stroke engine. The chassis of the RGV250 is very light, smooth and also very stable. The weight of the bike is very low, only 128 kg (282 lbs) for the first version.
What kind of clutch does a Suzuki RGV250 use?
The RGV250SP uses a dry clutch and special 32mm carburetors with sensors for the airbox pressure. The bike also has electric start and uses ram-air technology (check the pipe next to the headlight going straight into the frame).
Why was the banana swingarm on the Suzuki rgv250n?
The first was the RGV250N, which got the now-iconic ‘banana’ swingarm. Designed to aid ground clearance, the banana swingarm’s curvature enabled Suzuki to shape the RGV250’s exhausts differently, with the expansion chambers raised higher. However, the swingarm was replaced again on the RGV250M, the following year.
What was the first model of Suzuki RGV250?
The model designations are: VJ23:1997-1998: quoted power; 1997=70 hp (‘SP’ (sports production) model with new 70° V-Twin engine) The VJ21 was the first RGV250 production motorcycle available in Japan in 1988. Technical aspects were:-
What is the top speed of a RGV250?
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.
How much does a RG250 Gamma motorcycle weigh?
This motorcycle replaced the RG250 Gamma, 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 and 11,000 rpm. The dry weight ranged between 128 kg (282 lb) (1989) to 140 kg (309 lb) (later models) dry weight.
Which is faster a Suzuki RGV250 or Aprilia RS250?
Hence, touring is also not a strong point of this model. In straight line acceleration, the RGV250 is faster than most other 250 cc two-stroke and four-stroke motorcycles. The Aprilia RS250 is related and uses a modified RGV250 VJ22 (90° 2-Stroke V-Twin) engine.
