Suzuki RGV250/500
A road-going, Suzuki-made equivalent of the CR250/500 swap, using the RGV250 and an RG500 engine as the basis. These days prices of both RGs and RGVs are heading skyward, making it harder to justify stripping either of their parts, but the result of doing so can be spectacular.
The RG’s square four engine sits surprisingly neatly in the aluminium frame designed for the V-twin RGV250, revealing what the RG500 might have become if Suzuki had persevered with building big-capacity two-stroke sports bikes for a few more years.
