1989 500 DXC 2 stroke in excellent condition.
Bike was in warm dry storage between 1990 and 2015. California bike raced in a couple of D37 desert meetings in ’90 season. The original owner had health issues and the bike was put away at the end of ’90.. There it remained until 2010 when, after his passing, his brother cleared out his estate. At that time he had the bike gone through by Erics in Pasadena. Having only ridden it down the street, he was not a dirt biker, he then sold on the bike on in 2015, when I bought it from him. Partial restoration includes: Full rebuild, with new parts, of WP Rear shock and forks by ESP. Linkage, bearings and seals gone through. New Rental handlebars and grips. New plastics (old plastics included). New seat cover, fuel tap, cables etc and misc. parts from Austria. Stainless steel hardware throughout. Period correct Farioli factory graphics from UK. New Dunlop tyres and tubes. All fluids, brake pads, changed, coolant flushed. New air Filter. New steering head bearings. New DEP silencer from UK. Expansion chamber ceramic coated satin black. Fitted with smaller motocross gas tank. Bike also comes with factory KTM desert tank. Tune up by Brett (formally Eric’s now ESP). Bike is not perfect cosmetically but very, very nice. It looks like it’s been ridden partially for a season and put away! It has some paint wear on frame from rider’s boots, the frame has not been touched up or repainted so you can see how little riding the bike has received. there is some mild discoloration on the original Nordisc wheel rims and a few spokes. This bike runs fantastic. It has more midrange than my 450 SXF Factory Edition! I was quite shocked how well the performance compares to a modern 4 stroke. According to specs at the time this model makes 65 hp. The racing number 4 is for my favorite KTM rider of the period, the great sand specialist, KEES VAN DER VEN! I don’t think anybody will be disappointed with this bike. Currently green stickered for California off road use with a clean title in my name with no back DMV fees. Was planning to race it in NORRA Baja race but due to shoulder injury things have changed. Good luck, Martyn. |

RSVP from an RSV4
Wed, 08 Sep 2010Aprilia’s RSV4 Factory has to be one of the most interesting and adrenaline-inducing literbikes around, and that’s just part of why we gave it an Honorable Mention in our Best of 2010 Sportbike category. We recently had opportunity to put on a poor but passing Max Biaggi imitation with one particularly fine example. This RSV comes courtesy of our friend Kaming Ko, who often helps us on test rides.
