Comments from the dealer

1985 RG500, the absolute legend. These bikes ruled the race track ridden by the likes of Barry Sheene. This bike has 15,000kms. In fantastic and original condition. Fast appreciating classic. Super rare in this condition. Based 15km South East of Melbourne right across the road from Moorabbin Airport and Air museum, we are an easy reach for most motorcycle riders.
