Anybody fitted a 350YPVS motor in a RGV250

[howard]

Just a thought , but does the 350YPVS engine fit into a RGV250 chassis ?

Hi, there are a few on you tube . I have not built one myself but have put a 350 ypvs lump in a TZR 250 2ma chassis. Good luck with your project .

I was thinking of putting a 421 motor into the Nikko Bakker Laverda frame.

That would be sublime. Like minus the donkey aircooled motor in the earlier models.

Hi

That was RG250 based models.

Have you thought about putting one in a delta box such as 3mA/4DL or in small FZR ?

[reedpete]

Those are popoular start points

They go nicely into 1Kt and 2MA deltaboxes too.

The thought was it might be more fun than its current engine ,a Honda NX650 Dominator motor, I only bought this last week on eBay for the front and rear ends but it's in really good condition so I may have to think about it for a while.

Go for it bud I for one would but having said that I almost bought this Aprilia rs250 with a Honda single cylinder motor just for a hoot about...



heres another example valve motor tucked into rgv chassis

How about refitting an RGV250 engine, & contacting Colin Skillicorn (Facebook)
As he's made a 350cc bigbore kit for the RGV250 motor.

Hope this helps
Best regards

That is gorgeous i would keep it as it is. I know a Dutch man who is always buying Laverda parts from the UK

I was talking to Nico Bakker yesterday and he didn't make too many of these bikes.

I've fitted a 350 ypvs motor into Phil Swiv's Lump Hammer Rgv .

Got a Tyga seat unit for it and will be looking in to fitted a Vj22 Tyga fairing.

Motor fits nice. I cut and shut the original cradle. Now it's done, I know it can be better. So going to make a new cradle.

Will post some pictures up from my phone. Photobucket has fekked it up for me

now that is a sweet looking bike, I like that a lot, keep it as is, would be a shame to change something as unique as that (even if it is a 4 stroke!)

I have been pondering an LC motor in a YZF125R chassis. It’s Yam, looks modern and must handle better than a 30+ year old bike. Although I’m sure someone has already done it!.

[Tobyjugs]

Heres another Nico Bakker framed bike.

There was somebody who put an LC motor in either a Gilera Or Derby 50cc frame

Totally agree, that is one nice machine, leave as is
