For Sale 1985 RZV500

If your looking at this ad then you already know what you want so I'm not going to list all the technical stuff for this bike you can look that up online. I have had this RZV500 for 12 years. I ride it about a 100 miles a year and put it away. It runs and rides great. Starts easy I have done nothing with the motor since I bought it just changed oil and tires that's about it. I did add the Lomas pipes and changed jetting the pipes are mild steel.The stock pipes will be included.

I am not an RZ Geek just someone who likes to ride 2 stroke on the road so I might not be able to answer all technical questions but I will try. As far as the condition it does have some cracking in the body work some mild oxidation in areas. About everything you could expect for an unrestored 31 year old bike. The one thing I did notice on my last ride is the directional will go on but not flash that is something I have not looked in too. Other than that everything functions as it should.If you need more photos of something specific I will be happy to provide them.

I will not ship this bike out of this country and I will not consider trades. The bike is sold as is. I will post a short video of it running shortly just waiting for the rain to stop. It is your responsibility to provide shipping. I do not crate. I will deliver it up to a 100 mile radius but that's it. Last bike I sold the buyer used u-ship and it worked great.

Thanks for looking.
