1989 Suzuki RGV250 VJ21A
The Suzuki RGV250 was one of the most iconic two-stroke sports bikes of the late 1980s and early 1990s, built as a road-going version of Suzuki’s Grand Prix race machines. Known for its razor-sharp handling, screaming powerband, and aggressive styling, the RGV became a cult favourite among young riders and remains a highly collectable piece of Japanese performance motorcycling history.
This example is a 1989 VJ21A, finished in white and showing 44,190 km on the odometer. Notably, it is an Australian-delivered bike — with only around 250 brought into the country — making it a rare and desirable machine for collectors. It retains its original fairings and also comes with a rear seat fairing. Vendor notes it remains in very original condition, a testament to careful preservation over the years.
The RGV’s legacy is deeply tied to racing culture. Suzuki’s 250cc two-strokes dominated both local and international circuits, and the RGV became the training ground for future champions. Lightweight, fast, and unforgiving if pushed incorrectly, it represented the peak of two-stroke excitement before emissions regulations phased them out. Today, unmodified examples are increasingly hard to find and are prized among enthusiasts worldwide.
