Beschreibung
The RZV500R is the Japanese market version of the RD500, with the main differences being a lighter alloy frame and the use of magnesium for some of the engine covers.
This bike is showing 24, 420 kilometres and is in original unrestored condition. The bike has been one of a private collection and has been kept in a dry heated garage since the current owner purchased it in 2015.
The V5 shows 2 former keepers and we hold a number of old MOTs recording the history of the machine. The RZV was restricted for the Japanese market by plates inside the exhaust system and jetting, full power can be restored by removing the plates and jetting accordingly, we do not know if this has already been done but suggest it can be confirmed by the new owner along with recommissioning work needed after being stored for the last few years
We started the bike today, 16th January and can report a crisp exhaust note and nice throttle pick up for a 31 year old machine. This is a time machine example and would be an ideal addition to any collector’s garage.
We have a video of the bike running for any interested customers to view, just contact us and we can email you a short clip.
