31,500? *rubs eyes in disbelief.
Wow. Beautiful bike. Someone should ask Yamaha to build us the bikes we want, that's a great template.
I've seen that bike, It was in JTs shop when I stayed there in 2017 for the MotoGP in Austin. Its pretty nice, the guy did a nice job on it. Not sure if its worth 31K though. :umm:
Its a heck of a build.
Yamaha will not be making you a 2 stroke street bike again. It is not 'what the people want'.
You are paying big money but about the best street package you could ask for in a 2-stroke. Still small investment compared to cars...
That's awesome, if it was calif. plated I would be tempted to cash out my 401K. ;D
you have to figure its a minimum of 10k in motor alone. thats bare minimum.
Wow! That's a likable R6.
Not exactly a "RZ500 powered R6".
More like an RZ500 with R6 suspension and bodywork.
Still running the spindly old steel RZ500 frame.
For $30k+ I'd want a modern frame as well.
That is beautiful.
Nice!
The seller also has an 87 RG500 for sale

The RD500/R6 doesn't do much for me, but this RG500 is fcuking awesome!!
I agree, the Yamaha, ? :whistle: The Gamma, Ya dang Skippy. I bet my Buddy Rick would even have to agree. :wave:
A Gamma and the RD500/R6? Man I'd like to have his garage.
