Hey guys, thanks much for the interest on my post.. I'm grateful for all of your supports...
So, I ended up buying the VJ22 RGV yesterday.. it's 96 i think? but the chassis code says vj22..
I really wanted the rothmans color NSR but here are few reasons I decided
not to buy it...
It was wayyy too old, and from MOST of the people i've spoken to who specialized in the NSR's around here, or whom owns them currently, said
most of the engine parts are now UNavailable... nor do we have a lot of shops around here that knows how to work on them.
2nd reason is that the bike didn't have working speedometer....
the miles on it read roughly 20,000 miles.. but the seller said that
he got the bike that way... now that means.. i have no clue how many
miles HE drove or the owner of the bike before this dude drove...
so that really really made me hesitate, because i really dont feel like
spending an extra grand on the bike right after i buy it....
I gotta tell you tho.. i really love the nsr's but right now for someone at
my age and my financial position, i need reliability over performance.
And as for my bike experiences, I've driven 600's about 4 times and i've rented a cbr 1000 once after i got my motorcycle license.. and i used to race
with cars.. for long time.. so i know that i shouldn't mess around on cold tires and I am really going to take it slow, learn step by step on the motorcycle.. and as for this bike, it seems completely stock, and in good shape.. its got 10,000miles on it. chassy seems very clean.. power band
isn't extremely strong, but its good. It almost feel like im driving a 600cc
bike.. so i will take it very slow with getting used to it. I'm not in hurry to
get my self into the harm's way, you know? lol
And for more safety, i'm buying full motorcycle gear today.. helmet/jacket/pants/boots/gloves and a bike lock.
Thanks so much for your supports again, I'm still going to stick around on nsr world, to learn more about the nsrs... heck i might even trade my rgv for a nsr if i find one thats in just as good condition.. and to learn more about 2t 250's.. I'll post pics of the rgv within this week or so. Thanks again guys!
P.s. what does 2t stand for? i know it means 2 cycle but why is it called 2t? not 2c?
