Pulled the bike out earlier as it is such a nice day and gave it a bit of a clean. Realised there wern't any pics on here of it.

So here's the old gal.

Dunno if I should mention it in here but I got one of these now as well

I havn't ridden them back to back yet but it's clear the KR1s has much the best spread of power and rideability.

The RGV delivers power completely differently. It's ok ridding around town but in nothing much happens till 8K when the PV's open and it is off like a rat up a drain pipe. It is literally like an on / off switch. I like the RGV cos I picked it up sooo cheap. Just makes me smile to think I paid £300

. Had a fair few faults mind but fixed it up with really nice used and new bits.

Here have another pic (he says laughing about the £300)

Bargain

Must admit, I prefer the 21 to the 22. Next project, I've got one in bits, well it's that or a standard KR-1S restortation

the mirrors always look dispropotionally large on the RGV, it was this alone that put me of buying the rgv,
