This is a works spec RGB500-II, assembled using an imported RGB500-II frame and parts sourced from all over the world.
It remains in the factory colours, while the frame was powder coated with Nishimura Coat.
In addition to being stored in an air-conditioned room, the motorcycle was kept in very good condition with routine lubrication. According to the owner, it probably has the best condition iron tube frame in existence.
The front forks are machined from magnesium and are 40φ Kayaba forks.
It has works brake discs front and rear with magnesium callipers.
The stem is a works part, with the top made of magnesium and the bottom made of aluminium.
The bolts used on the body are genuine aluminium bolts for Suzuki’s racer bikes and the rest of the bolts are Suzuki works titanium bolts.
The engine is a complete engine used at the time by the Kashima Racing team in Ibaraki Prefecture. Although the engine was confirmed to start before being mounted in the frame, it has not been started since the body was assembled. According to the owner, the engine is ready to run as soon as it’s filled with gasoline.
As for the fuel tank, it has never been filled yet and it has maintained its shine.
While the RGA500/RGB500 production racers are priced at around 6-8 million yen overseas, this RGB500-II is a custom vehicle that uses several Suzuki works parts. This is a motorcycle that should go to someone who can really appreciate its value.
