The Bestest RG500?
I think so. I mean, come on - does your RG500 have a full carbon fiber frame, make 131 bhp, weigh 253lbs dry, and have a inverted White Power (woah - talk about a non-politically correct name for a company) suspension setup? No? Well, I dont even HAVE a RG500 - so your already cooler than me. The bike Im talking about is the Heron Suzuki XR70RV RG500. A bad mutha-shut-yo-mouth of a RG raced by Heron Suzuki of Croydon, England in 1985-1986 (one of the first suzuki importers in the UK). Their primo race maniac was Paul Lewis - an aussie bloke. Paul never really got to shoot champagne fountains at his friends, he placed a 25th in 1985, with just one point to his name in the 500 Championship. Still though, that is one point more than I will ever have. This bike just looks so fantastic with the full carbon frame and Skoal colors - a love it to pieces. Im gonna go buy some Skoal, and take a dip in the tobacco laden can of fun times. Im not doing it for myself though - Im doing it in memory of this great machine.
