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

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.

LOL - Evidently the bloke you sold it to the chap I bought it from tried to convince him it was Rossi's signature

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
.
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

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