    :up: Welcome,I haven't been "here" that long myself! Have always loved the RG's including the "little ones",every time I got close to buying a 500,something would come along to stop me, "money wise" mainly,I bet your enjoying her,looks in lovely condition!
    I've got a Suzuki GT750A,which has been in my shed for 12 years,love her as well,just about to give her another minor face lift during an Aussie winter! Enjoy you Summer on the RG!!!
    Cheers,

    Lovely looking RG500......looks like a few quids worth.
    I have never owned one, but have ridden a few. Some of my mates had them in the eighties.
    Keeping old 2 strokes alive !

    I had a new one in 86 I think, got done for "travelling some considerable distance on the back wheel only" 5 points and big fine (due care and attention) awsome machines arrived at the next gear before your brain did.
