SPOTTED: Yamaha RZV500  

Nope, the bike sure isn't mine but it's just one of those (at least HERE) rare bikes I wish I could of owned over the years. I have no doubt these might be common in other parts of the world, but definately not here in the USA. This is a bike that was never approved for sale in the U.S., a Yamaha RZV500 (two-stroke water-cooled 4-cylinder). I spotted this at a rally in the Cuyuma Valley (California) about 18 years ago. It was a 'Grey-Market-Vehicle' smuggled into the country by (of all people) a Police Officer! For the rest of us to do so back then it would of meant a $10,000 fine and a year in Federal Prison! Never the less, glad I got to at least see one once.... ;-)

The GBU: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Each month we take a look at the best and the worst (and the not so pretty) at Motor Maniacal. We go through our recent photos, blogs, bulletin board posts and classifieds looking for the extremes.
