I wanted one of those. Was a a dealer in the UK where I first saw one. In the counter they had 3 different reviews printed out. The first line of each was near the same: " I was never so scared in all my life."

My AMEX card started burning a hole in my pocket Too bad they are illegal here (emmisions).

I don't think you can import them. Any vehicle will need to be certified for emissions.

They can't be registered as they don't meet emissions (no 2-cycle road bikes anymore.)

Sorry mate,only bought a set of plugs for it in 16 years.

In Switzerland its illegal to even use a foreign registered 2stroke on the roads there. They turn em away at the border!

So if your european tour wants to take in the swiss alps or something, you might have to forgo doing that bit on the RG

Shennon, seek out a kawasaki gpz750 turbo, theyre rare but they made epa legislation for a bit and enough got out the bag. Couple of tweaks and a new air filter and a bit of tinkering, and you can see 130hp at the rear wheel. A locker clutch will possibly follow that after a short period of use.
They have that 2stroke powerband sensation too when the turbo kicks in good and proper. Once 130 starts feeling tame and you get used to the wheelies at 90, theres a whole load of fun things you can do to them involving forged pistons, intercoolers and bigger turbo's... I gots two of them, one in 130 innocent looking old bike street trim, one rabid slathering beast with a T3 on it...

I like two strokes for their power delivery, might get another one soon, and it would a RG500. I own a rigid hone the right size this time round

The RG's are great bikes to ride and sound fantastic, started mine today.
I have seen photo's and video of tuned RG's 145 bhp! should'nt think they would need a front wheel !
