GP 500 cc 2-stroke motorcycle: rather YZR500 or Ronax ?

Swept by 4-stroke, the 2-stroke engine on road motorcycles is still popular with many bikers, marked by the exploits of Grand Prix riders such as Rainey or Rossi. Exactly, their motorcycles are for sale: get your checkbooks, get set, go !

A used GP500 or a brand new copy ?

As long as the balance of your bank account is in credit of a mere eighth of a million euros (!), You can treat yourself to a choice, a "real" YZR driven by Wayne Rainey the year of his first title ( 1990) or a "fake" NSR, replica of the one that led Valentino Rossi to his first title in the premier class (2001)…

The first is now. Heir McSmith, who is selling this Yamaha Grand Prix 500 – second-hand therefore -, assures us that it is "very rare, ideal for collectors, authentic (from factory) and in very good condition".

Posted at 125,000 € – non-serious buyers abstain – the official No. 2 of Team Marlboro Roberts will only ask for a little gasoline – and oil of course! – to go for a ride, on circuit only … This is not the case with the second "five hundred", also offered across the Rhine !
