Suzuki RGV250SP VJ23 Resource Page
Introduced in 1996, the RGV250SP VJ23 was filled with design cues from Suzuki’s 250cc Gamma Grand Prix racer. When de-restricted, it produced over 60 horsepower to motivate just 282 pounds of dry weight. Visor Down called it “the purest and most race-bred two-stroke track tool ever to make it into a showroom.” Suzuki debuted the VJ23 generation with an all new engine that featured a 70-degree configuration of the V-twin, just like the factory race bikes. Only 2,218 were ever built. The VJ23 shares nothing with previous RGV models, being a completely new bike from the ground up. It was originally sold only in Japan, although some made their way to Europe and a few other countries in 1997. The VJ23 has a more compact chassis (wheelbase reduced by 50mm), a return of the 'banana' rear swingarm and radically different styling as compared to the older VJ21, and VJ22 models.
