Yamaha RZV500 Gallery
This was the world’s first production
model to mount a liquid-cooled 2-stroke V-4 engine.
As the flagship model embodying Yamaha’s sports
spirit and also as the fastest road-going model of
its day, the RZV500 stood proudly above the rest.
It was the direct descendent of the YZR500 works machine
that Kenny Roberts rode to the championship title
with six wins in the 12 rounds of the 1983 World GP.
The engine boasted new advances in 2-stroke technology
like giving the forward and rear banks of cylinders
different induction systems; piston reed valve in
front and crankcase reed valve in the rear.

This RZV is an import from Japan, and not to
many of these about in this condition and they
seem to be getting scarcer all the time. |
