Suzuki RV125 description

Thank you for your interest. For sale is an original 1974 Suzuki RV125 Tracker motorcycle. I have started restoring the bike and the bike runs, but the restoration needs to be completed. The bike has been sitting for a while, so the carburetor needs to be cleaned or rebuilt, as the bike is not idling properly. I have all the parts to complete the restoration. I also have another complete 1973 RV125 bike that is in parts, and also included in this auction. I bought the 1973 bike to have some spare parts to restore the 1974 bike. I have clear titles to both bikes, and also have lots of new and used parts (see pictures). One could easily end up with two bikes if patient about assembling. I also have the original shop service manual, user's manual, under the seat tool kit, pump, etc.. Lots of rare parts for this 1974 year bike. I have several new parts, and have installed the new clutch lever and brake lever since I took the pictures so that I can ride the bike around my neighborhood. I also have another set of new clutch/brake levers. There is another set of new front/rear sprockets to setup the bike to ride on the highway. Right now the bike is setup to have a top speed of 45 mph with lots of bottom end torque, but you can change the sprockets to the new ones (included) and set it up for street riding with top speed of 65 mph. I have owned this bike since 1980, and have loaned it out to other family members from time to time. When the bike was returned to me, each time I had restored it to its original condition, and was in process of doing this again. I know the bike is solid, even if it looks a bit old. I am asking $650.00 for everything. Just need to clear out the garage. This is a great father-son project. My son has lost interest in bikes... Feel free to contact me with questions. I am in 10989 zip code. Unfortunately I am not able to ship the bike to you myself, as I am unsure of how to pack all of the spare parts.  However, I will be happy to work with your shipper, provided they offer turn key service.  They pick up everything, pack and ship to you.  Thanks again!

1974: Onboard an MV racer with Phil Read

Fri, 19 Feb 2010

ANOTHER CRACKING BIT of vintage racing footage, this time featuring multiple motorcycle world champion Phil Read on the awesome-sounding MV Agusta 500-4.The footage is from the 1974 movie 'The Iron Horse' made by Frenchman Pierre-William Glenn.Read’s 1974 500cc World Championship victory was the last year a four-stroke won the world title before the advent of the MotoGP class in 2002. Giacomo Agostini won the crown from Yamaha in 1975, followed by Suzuki-mounted Barry Sheene in '76 and '77. The footage is bloody good, considering the camera technology of the day.

Capirossi Announces Retirement at Conclusion of 2011 Season

Thu, 01 Sep 2011

Loris Capirossi announced he will retire at the end of the 2011 MotoGP season, closing off a quarter century of racing including 22 years at the Grand Prix level and three World Championships. “It’s an important moment in my career, and the decision I made has come about after a lot of reflection,” says Capriossi. “I’m happy that after 25 years, of which 22 were in the world championship, I’m at a point where I can still have a smile on my lips as I part ways, even if it’s difficult to think that I won’t be riding a bike next year.” The announcement was made during a press conference at Misano for the upcoming San Marino Grand Prix, the final Italian stop of the 2011 season.

AMA Pro Racing Announces Basic Twins Flat Track Class for 2014 Season

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

AMA Pro Racing announced a new class for Flat Track racing designed to provide a new stepping stone for up-and-coming Pro-licensed racers, replacing the Pro Singles class in 2014. The new class, to be called Basic Twins, is more or less a revival of the Basic Expert Twins division that ran during the 2007 and 2008 seasons, but dropped when the Pro Singles class was introduced for 2009. The new class will give young racers a chance to showcase their skills on Twins, easing their transition to eventually enter the Grand National Expert Twins class.
