Reggie's Ready

Post by Bertie_Mollie »

Following on from Kwackmans RS250 thread here is my Riggiani replica I've just sorted. I hope to get it MOT'd next week.

11K on the clock with supporting documents.Has been sat round doing bugger all for the last 9 years :shock:.

Needed a few jobs doing such as fork seals, exhausts cleaned and painted, rear brake switch and a new battery. Oh, had to clean the carbs out too.

Hi Garry,

I guess the problem is the same on these as RGV's. I think I read somewhere that later engines had some mods. TBH I don't really know what I am talking about here and need to look into it some more :oops: .

All I know is it came up for sale and it was very original and a really good price so I had to have it. It was advertised in freeads and I haggled it down to £1175 as it needed a few jobs done. I have been told it could be worth as much as £2K.

Got it MOT'd at the weekend \:D/

very nice indeed, I always thought the old ones looked the best, becoming rare nowadays, probably a worthwhile investment!
