I got offered an RG200 the other day. I had never heard of one before and only saw a picture from the guy who was selling it. So I went home a Googled it up and decided I had to have it. I'm pretty sure I won't be parking next to another one any the soon. Anyone else on here got one? _________________ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ |

Could be, I think its just an RG125 on steroids and with RGVish bodywork. _________________ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ |

Well I got the bike yesterday finally and here are two pictures of it. One from the yard in Japan and the other from my workshop, all the bits are wrapped in bubble wrap. The top fairing is all cracked and the rest is missing. From what I can gather the bike is basically an RG125F so has anyone got a fairing they want to part with.

The bike has an NH prefix on the frame. It has a single disc but the left leg has a calliper mount but it has not been drilled out for the bolts so RGV possibly. Not seized but that's as far as I have got _________________ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ |

Does it have electric start? The older X5 200 was electric start. _________________ I'm not a complete idiot - Some parts are missing |

Yep 200 single with electric start, I read somewhere they only made 400 of these and they only made them for one year. Information is thin on the ground about these bikes but I think the TS200 has the same pistons but I dont think that will help me much as they are rare too. _________________ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ |

I imagine there must be plenty of substitutes around??
Similar engine used in another application.
I think the Yammy DT230 was in golf buggies or the like????
Good luck with the rebuild _________________ I'm not a complete idiot - Some parts are missing |

I'm pretty sure they made a lot more than four hundred bikes. I think there's a couple of people on the RGV forum who own/have owned them, so you might be able to get some info from there. |

Well I took a chance and bought a set of 125F fairings so they should arrive in a few weeks.
I am going to seek out some advice on the 125 Sportsbike forum also and see what pops up. _________________ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ |

The 125F fairings arrived and they are correct and fit. So now I have a red bike with a lucky strike panel on the right and a blue one on the left . I need the centre triangle for the fairing now and the two brackets that mount on the frame to hold the fairing. _________________ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ |
