TRADING ON FAILURE

Think 250cc two-stroke, think RGV. Launched in 1988 the class-defining V-twin came of age in ’91 with USD fork, curved swingarm and stacked pipes – just like a proper GP bike. It even declared ‘made with the Grand Prix spirit’ on the side. Yet despite titles in 50, 125 and 500cc, Suzuki never won a 250cc GP world title.
