My second attempt at uploading GoPro footage. Can't get it to trim the vid, so switch off after about 5 mins or so, coz that's where I tried to stop it!!
Had one of these , nearly killed me . came off on a bend near skenfrith in wales . Going too fast for my own good (i am 62 now would love another one )Woke up in an ambulance Broken ribs , broken knee cap ,broken cheek bone . But boy would i love one now . Once rode all the way from Cheltenham too Truro and back , loads of fuel stops later , couldn't walk right for a week , so hard a seat made your eyes water .But loved it too bits .
I just lapped that right up,first time I've ever leaned over in my living room chair to take a bend,I actually felt my stomach lift at times and swear I could smell 2 stroke.Cracking post mate that gave a flash back to my bike days-coulda stayed out riding the road instead of going to bed,just like back in the day.Thanks for for the memory mate.
Two strokes forever. I had far more fun on 350 LCs, RG250s and X7s back in the '80s than I ever did on all the big 4 strokes that I owned later on. Sadly never had the chance to ride one of these, and see very few two strokes on the roads these days although an old neighbour did have a 500 LC.The sound of micron and all speed pipes and smell of 2 stroke oil always bring back great memories though.
before i have RGV500 GAMA,NSR 250RR, and one more is Yamaha Rd350LC and then after 3 years i accidents n amputee both legs i solds all of them!!i love motorcycle so much even i cant speaking english!!
Yes it is! Well spotted Chancer 996!! It's on my 'Big Brother might be watching, Traffic Cop friendly' setting :-) I think one or two of my videos from this year, have the speedo on 'normal' setting.
Yeah, Jonathan! From a bag of spanners at idle to spine tingling chainsaw quartet above 8 and a half or 9. Two stroke black magic😍 Four strokes just get louder, there's no real Jekyll and Hyde side to their personality (IMHO)
Hey Chancer, you can check out wot mine looks like via coupla vids on here. Type in Suzuki RGV570 and there's one from Absolute Cars (which is the vid I watched before knowing I JUST had to buy it off the guy!!) and another from multitechglos which from memory, shows it getting painted. Gixxer thou frame wif RG motor? Hmm, interesting :-)

There is nothing on earth can replicate the sound of smell of a 2 stroke 😍

RedEye CityDotCo Sooo sorry to hear about that my friend. Hope watching the two stroke videos on RUclips bring back happy memories.
snap crackle and pop. KR1, NSR, RGV owner here!
The RG 500 and the RZ 500, what more needs to be said!🤣
Lovely sound.
That Speedo has got to be out ?
Yes it is! Well spotted Chancer 996!! It's on my 'Big Brother might be watching, Traffic Cop friendly' setting :-) I think one or two of my videos from this year, have the speedo on 'normal' setting.
You got me 🙄💪💉RG,RD,K1,NSR 👌
callander to strathyre.... great scratchin road..
Nice work! Keep it alive!
Cheers Steven! Unfortunately it's off the road atm, blew the engine back in June 😵 but as Arnie once said, "I'll be back"!!!!
love the rough sounding idle at the end :-)

Nice vid chap : )
from calander to strathyre.. know them bends well...
We'll spotted John 😜 Seems sooo long ago 😭
If that was a Fireblade at those revs the rider would be in outer space. My point is those 1 liter bikes are hopelessly over powered.
100 mph in 1st is silly. That's an automatic!! Why bother with a gearbox
unless you're tracking or live in Germany. AND they are heavy...
Suter MMX 500
I’ve always wanted to try and fit RG 500 engine into GSXR 1000 frame ..
Ultimate bike to me ....
Would love to see yours ?

sounds fab but its so slow on pickup bah
Top speed ?
Not sure Darrin, I've never had it flat out. Probably a touch over 150mph, which isn't that fast, but how it gets there IS! :-)
