 ... yep, I got a clean state DMV title today for my 1994 RGV 250 SP.  Not an easy process by any means, but with patience, dedication and a little luck it can be done. 

Now I just need to fit the lights and bodywork and replace the commuter bike style tires.   




Current bikes:
1993 Honda NSR 250 SP
1994 Suzuki RGV 250 RR SP
1993 Yamaha Seca II

That's what the dealer told me.  Then they wanted $45 to flush and refill it.   :laugh:

But you can do it at home for $25 and it only takes an hour.

would have thought two stroke oil would go in there you will want to check before you put brake fluid in it or its going to be a very short ride.
I keep forgetting that the US dosen't get the little strokers, RGV's are a dime a dozen down here well at least $2000-$4000 but we stopped getting RGV's after the M model and only got Aprilla RS125 and 250 after that the Aprilla actually ran with a beefed up RGV motor from Suzuki and handled better but be careful on it they are more race rep then R1's or GSXR you will find out what quick steering and dropping into corners really means :thumb: :cheers:

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

That sure is mighty purty!  Personally don't like the green on the wheels tho.

I agree with you about the green.  I'm not sure why the previous owner did that.

and, so what DID it take to title it in the US? was it possible because you moved here from out of the country? give into please! I know a few people with some small displacement cbr's (150's fro malaysia) who would be interested...
