Rizla Suzuki Rides Again!

Had some time to stop by my favorite shop yesterday, CN Racing, and see what he had going on. The most important relationship you can have in the world of rare and exotic bikes is a friend who knows how to fix them! Carlos has been a friend of Bats pretty much since inception and has a long history of helping people figure out complex mechanical issues that just about every other shop in the country would shy away from. After winning in every class he competed in he now helps the current AFM #1 plate Ricky Corey, who by the way also started racing at stockton along side the Bats on an RS50.

Anyway back to the title of this post which has to do with a really rare and sweet looking Suzuki RGV 250 that is currently at his shop getting the CN Racing treatment. How fitting that a 2 smoker would have a rolling papers sponsorship!

What is obviously striking about the bike besides the rarity is the owners custom Rizla racing replica paint job and decals. I would really like to see this beast after final assembly to get the full effect with all the body panels in place, but for now just gaze at how much custom handy work went into this beast so far!

Super sweet custom JL pipes!

Sweet wheels and radial front brake setup, must be GSXR!

This tiny racing battery is enough to start the bike, yes its electric start and not kick start! I wonder how these compare to the Shorai we currently use? Might have to do some investigating!
