Classic Racer

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!

What we have here is unique, one of the most rare racing motorcycles ever built. This one in particular is rarer than a Honda 6. Aside from singularly bespoke racing bikes (and let’s face it, those motorcycles are often made using parts from other – more widely available machines – so hardly count as ‘rare’ in the truest sense) there’s almost nothing as scarce as this motorcycle.

So let’s cut to the rub. This is a Suzuki RGV250. One of the XR series of Grand Prix motorcycles that elevated the Suzuki racing efforts in the late 1980s and the majority of the 1990s. Specifically, this is the XR94 (built in 1994, hence the number).

So, this range of the specific run of quarter-litre machines ran around 30 years ago. And as can often be the way with factory GP exotica various version and various models of these few quarte weapons is s chuffed to be able to feature this bike.
