| The '''[[Suzuki]] RGV 250 SP''' was a Two stroke, V- twin, reed valve, [[liquid cooled]] Sport Bike [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Suzuki]] in 1997. Max [[torque]] was 30.24 ft/lbs (41.0 Nm) @ 8000 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 61.02 HP (45.5 KW) @ 11000 RPM. It could reach a top speed of 202 km/h / 125 mph.
| |
|
| |
| Clearly based on the [[Suzuki]]'s 500cc [[Grand Prix]] [[motor]], the super sporting RGV250, with a claimed 58 [[bhp]] pushed the quarter liter class into a new dimension. Its performance often equaled or surpassed 400cc and larger machines. The RGV 250 was not available for sale in the United States. [[Aprilia RS250|Aprilia's RS250]] used the Suzuki RGV250's engine even after it was discontinued. | | Clearly based on the [[Suzuki]]'s 500cc [[Grand Prix]] [[motor]], the super sporting RGV250, with a claimed 58 [[bhp]] pushed the quarter liter class into a new dimension.

| ==Engine==
| |
| A 55.9mm [[bore]] x 55.9mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 249.0 cubic centimeters.
| |
|
| |
| ==Drive==
| |
| The bike has a 6-Speed transmission. Power was moderated via the Wet, multiplate.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Chassis==
| |
| It came with a 110/70-17 front [[tire]] and a 140/60-18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via Double discs 300 mm in the front and a Single disc 210 mm in the rear. The front suspension was a USD telescopic fork, 5-way adjustable with anti-dive, oil dampened while the rear was equipped with a Full Floater, mono-shock, gas/oil damped, 7-way adjustable. The wheelbase was 54.09 inches (1374 mm) long.

| The RGV250 ran from 1987 to 1997, but they were only officially imported into the UK from 1989 (RGV250 K) to 1994 (RGV250 R). It was a crime against motorcycling when Suzuki decided not to bring the beautifully curvy 1996/97 RGVs to our shores (or the 1991 SP version), which included the fantastic limited edition SP model, complete with a dry clutch, ram air and 70 hp.
