I compared my RZ350 swing arm to my 3XV-SP swing arm, and the 3XV is basically 4 inches longer... wondering how that extra wheel base will change its handling? Although the 3XV bits are basically bomb proof compared to the RZ front and rear, and definitely will give more control.
Bike looks great so far   :thumbs:

Thanks guys  :thumbs:
Still have a long way to go.

Fork's showed up today, (after 9 weeks) so I did a dry build on them with some rebound spacers to drop it a little. Still want the front a little lower, but with some weight on it, it should level out when completely done.
Will hopefully get some emulators ordered next week sometime, then I can put the front end on for good.

That could be turned into a real cool supermoto street toy

Quote from: Dvsrd on March 11, 2024, 05:47:10 PMI thought the TZ 700/750 came as a result of the GL750 four cylinder, watercooled prototype street bike?

Yes  :thumbs:

From what I have read about the 400 version, not very impressive according to Japanese magazines of the time.
Looks good though

What's it worth...
Doubt it will sell for less than $4000, even though it should have a complete rebuild.

I got my decals from RD Decals also.
Fit perfect, although the blue is not as dark as I think it should be.

Looking forward to Aprilia having more possibilities of getting manufacture points. No longer running Superbike, they need some more wide spread interest in the name...only about 50 dealers in the country at the moment. It's nice to see some US based interest the MotoGP again.


I'm still waiting for Indy to come back into the schedule

Parts availability... New parts are few and far between, but used parts are pretty cheap. I would not consider one if they are that much $$$, and get a more modern and much better RGV. Parts are much easier to find, and there are places that still have everything for a motor rebuild or up grade. Handling and HP of a RGV will make an RG feel pretty sad for the same effort and $$$ to rebuild.

They had the worlds first production aluminum frame in 83. I have seen people use RGV250, or if living in the US, older 600 bandit/katana front ends and rear wheels to modernize them to better tires and brakes.

I wonder if in 95 on up yamaha possibly used a different method of stamping...? Or a replacement frame that was stamped / etched at a later date.
I did not notice that  :thumbs:
