Got a call from a mate who has a 1991 RGV 250 for sale. It's been sitting around for the last 2 years. Tried to push start it 9 months ago with no luck. Doesn't have a battery.

I'm thinking about buying it to wreck. Never had anything to do with RGV's, so the question is, what's the market like for parts? I'm led to believe that the 17" rims might be highly sort after by those looking to convert their dirt bikes into motards?

He only wants $450. Can't really go wrong can I?

Looks OK jase.

When I was trying to Motard my 426 the go was RGV wheels. When I priced them from a wreckers though they were more than $450 so I can't see that you could go too far wrong.

bargain!! even for a tracky

if you cant get it to go, pull it apart and sell the bits

$450! Just Do it!

A good buy. Grab it, paint it green...good tracky you could sell a good power valve for more than that!

yea set of wheels gotta be worth the $450 or close to it....

Dont wreck it yet Will have a chat to some friends .
Mind you 17 3 spoke RGV rear does go into KRs And RGV radiator can be made to fit

Dont do anything rash just yet!
Make great SuperMonos!
KLR 650 perhaps?
Frame and wheels are the most valuable parts

Fuck OFF , I saw it first HackSaw boy

First to make an offer though !
$50 posted alright Jase?

By the way. I thought you said you had been labouring hard with the paving around the house? Those fingernails in the final pic are proving you wrong!

RGV's one of the best bike ever made. I had one and it was great fun. Theres alot of people looking for spares so yeah just part it out. I know when I had mine I always needed something else or the other, so there is demand and those jokers called wreckers take advantage of it.

Dont listen to him. Park in the corner and give it consideration whilst you rebuild the other two wheeled hand grenade.
If its worth something today, good chance it will be worth the same or more tomorrow.

I would get it Jas.
You can always sell the wheels to somwone who is converting a Enduro bike to a Supermoto. Couple mates run rgv wheels on there CRF's and KTM's.
I know for a facr they paid more than $450 for them.

Bugger. Seems I missed out by a matter of minutes. Oh well, such is life.
