Nice. Are those the one with rgv motors?

Yes, Stretch from Eurobike had to use a few RGV parts as not all original parts could be sourced.

 

My motor got stolen many years back, and my folks did this secret restoration as a surprise for me for Xmas and my Birthday next week. Took 10months.

You lucky fellow (not the first noun I used, but apparently it's a family friendly site and jealousy is an ugly emotion...).

 

Many many happy kilometers (rrrring ding ding; rrrring ding ding ding).

I have always wanted one of those, just missed out on one last year.

 

Bought a RS125, just sold it though. Done with Italian 2 strokes. Too temperamental, fix one thing just for the next problem. They are absolutely amazing once they are perfect, just saw it a money hole so cut my losses.

Took her for her first ride now! Holy crap I missed this!

 

That is just lovely!

 

A mate of mine, who collects bikes, has 2 original, running 250 SA GP bikes on display in his office. But I've yet to convince him to let me take one for a joy ride  :mellow:

TZ's NS's?

 

I assume its the early 90s ones that Dreyer and those guys rode?

I shall answer with details and (hopefully) pictures shortly

That took a little longer than expected. One bike is a '84-87 NSR250, ex Robbie Peterson works bike. Other is a Yammie 250, also from the Peterson brothers. They also have a Jody Schekter Yammie 350 which was raced in the late 70's.

 

Pics will follow at some stage.

Peterson’s races GP, so that would probably be a TZ. There is a relative or two of the Peterson’s here, sure they could help fill in too.

Yeah I think they've had them around to come see the bikes. The NSR has full paperwork from the team, including laptime sheets, suspension set ups, etc. They've got the back ground on the Yammie, but no paperwork. They're becoming quite collectible and valuable of late, not that it matters because these guys don't ever sell bikes. Their collection is  :eek:
