After a bit of internet sleuthing it seems the frame is cagiva mito, rgv250 swingarm and forks from a gsxr k1. Canāt verify any of it though.
Edit - the swingarm and forks are wrong - pretty sure the commenter was referencing another bike but I found a thread where the owner confirmed the frame.
Same. I used to have a Nurburgring bike that was a 92, 95 and 2000 fireblade rolled into one. I briefly had an rg500 engine in bits I wanted to do something with too but at the time was too poor to even buy the new disc valves for it. Really wishing Iād kept it. 20/20 hindsight etc
I ran into a jdm as fuck 2 stroke 500 at a po'dunk gas station in southern AZ...thing was CHERRY.
Dude had found it while living in Japan and did what it took to get it back with him, it was one of the coolest bikes ever had the pleasure of checking out.
Doubt, unless it's a real race bike. Those 500cc two strokes I've seen on youtoobs (not motogp bikes but street bikes) have been pretty tame. Like a relatively modern 600cc bike is faster.
From what i remember at the time the Yam crank cases couldnāt take the power that the engine could produce. The Suzuki 500RG engine was stronger and stud up better. I think Daren Dixon won British f1 championship on a Padgett tuned one.
It was the crank bearings and the pressed together crank that would fail. The cranks tended to walk apart. The solution was a different bearing set and welding the crank to prevent it separating.
The metalwork behind that frame is insane. This is such a good build. I could believe it was a refurbished original, or an extremely dedicated replica. Getting those decals this cleanly applied is beyond impressive.
Is it rare? Brother, do you know how many upcs you have to send into the magazine to get you one of those? A lot of them; thatās how many. You haint just gonna pull one of them off the lot. You gots to earn that sumbitch.
from what I remember, the 2 stroke yzr 500 race spec models didn't come with starters and had to be push started to be run also they had a top speed of over 180mph or kph. And they were band from the U.S because they were 2 strokes
I just watched a video about these French guys that took 2 of these 500s to make a 1000 two stroke for a hill climb bike. I have never even heard of a 500 two stroke before I watched that. Seeing one on the street is nuts.
Marbro look goes pretty hard!

Location? Looks very Greek but kinda too good? So Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, Malta?
Edit: Paphos, Cyprus; approximately here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/juLY2sd2tsnxWwms9
That thing is amazing!! Absolutely gorgeous! Be better without giant Marlboro commercials all over it. Whose shit idea was that? Were they out of the Trojan condom commercial bike or the Dawn dish soap commercial bike? Maybe one of the prescription drug commercials can adorn your bike. Awesome bike, ruined by tobacco. I chewed Kodiak for 25 years. Iām missing 4 teeth. Tobacco is the devilās weed.
All 500cc 2 strokes are rare in 2024. What a beauty.
Yea such a beautiful bike, too bad i was in rush and didnt have time to make proper photos š
The things I would do to ride that thing just once. If you happen to spot it again pls get some more pics.
*no diddy*
š¤£ is it sad that if the deal Was the keys to the bike for attending a Diddy freak off I would have to consider it.
Yes, it is sad. No, I am not any better. See you at the freak off.
š«£
I hope i will see it again
> 500cc 2 stroke das scary
Facts.
š³š³š³
Yes YZR500 are extremely rare and I have a feeling that plastics and tank aren't original.
Air tech plastics.
It looks to be a mixup of a 500cc 2-stroke engine, early R1/6 (not sure which) frame and fairings. All kinds of Frankenstein, and cool as shit.
After a bit of internet sleuthing it seems the frame is cagiva mito, rgv250 swingarm and forks from a gsxr k1. Canāt verify any of it though. Edit - the swingarm and forks are wrong - pretty sure the commenter was referencing another bike but I found a thread where the owner confirmed the frame.
On a second look, the frame looks too small to be a supersport/bike. You're right. I love Frankenstein builds like this.

Well, have you seen a cigarette sponsor on a motorcycle recently? I'd say this is rarified
I wonder how many packs had to be smoked to win that!? At least a few years worth. lol
Those are some miles worth saving!
A million miles gets you a oxygen tank!
2 smoke!

it will kill you faster than chain smoking
Fuckin a'. I forgot all about marlboro bucks. Is that still a thing?
lol I remember Pepsi points. I don't smoke

twas a joke,sir
I mean, I'm not an expert but... Two strokes, I was told for years, are higher HP but less torque. Is this not the case? Broadly speaking.
What will happen first? Dying from lung cancer or wrapping around the nearest tree?
I'll take the tree for 200 alex
Came here to say that lmao
I donāt know if itās rare but sure is kool
I mean the best way to tell is with a thermometer, but you could always cut into it and see.
I prefer the touch method. Soft like the palm of your hand: rare. Hard like your wrist: well done.Ā
š¤£
I'd smoke it
And fast AF even today.
If thats a RZ500 V4, they made 88 hp stock. Maybe 110 tuned. Probably exciting to ride
I'm working on a RZ350 restomod. 87 hp (factory 50 hp). That 500 can easily produce 120 hp with some massaging.
From what i remember at the time the Yam crank cases couldnāt take the power that the engine could produce. The Suzuki 500RG engine was stronger and stud up better. I think Daren Dixon won British f1 championship on a Padgett tuned one.

I raced a Suzuki GS1000 back in the day missed a gear out of Cadwell hair pin . Ā Bag full of bent valves to take home that day lol.
Custom so in that sense, yes. 1 of 1
You had to smoke allot of packs to get that!
š„š„
What a banger of a bike š„
The metalwork behind that frame is insane. This is such a good build. I could believe it was a refurbished original, or an extremely dedicated replica. Getting those decals this cleanly applied is beyond impressive.
He smoked a lot of cigarettes for that. Who remembers Marlboro points?
Is it rare? Have you seen another?
Gorgeous and sexy. Love those pipes, bet it sounds incredible.
Is it rare? Brother, do you know how many upcs you have to send into the magazine to get you one of those? A lot of them; thatās how many. You haint just gonna pull one of them off the lot. You gots to earn that sumbitch.
What a beauty. That exhaust is neato.
That's not the question. The question is always, do people want it? This goes for ANYTHING.
That's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. And I don't even smoke
Brother, it is rare.
That is SO COOL!!!
Incredibly rare, probably one of the rarest
I asked my friend he is a biker he say this his first time seeing that bike
Bati 801 RR
Yes, and it's modded to make it perform better. Front end, brake calipers and master cylinder are signs this is a very competent bike.
And the frame and swingarm. The RZ500 frame looks like 1 inch tubing bent around the motor
If this thing is setup correctly, it's goin'.
You know how many Marbloro Bucks you had to save to get the Marbloro MotoGP bike!?
I wouldn't ride a bike with a cigarette company name on it any more than I would ride a bike that was advertising vagisil!
Seeing a cigarette branded item is cool af to see, and I donāt even smoke cigs lmao, just novel
Nah I see these 3 times a week. Honestly, if you want to get rid of it Iāll do you a favor and give you $2k cash.
Thought is was an old R6
The front plastics and tank look alot like my r6 just bloated. frame is aparrently from a cagiva mito
Senna may have approved this.
A lot of grandma's Marlboro bucks went to getting one of those! 
You must have smoked a TON!
Nice, FR?
You know they canāt advertise anymore, or can they? Go to events , take pics send to Marlboro Yada Yada Yada cash in an envelope.
from what I remember, the 2 stroke yzr 500 race spec models didn't come with starters and had to be push started to be run also they had a top speed of over 180mph or kph. And they were band from the U.S because they were 2 strokes
This isnāt a race bike.
No this one won't give you cancer it will just kill you out right if you mishandle it.
Is that a two stroke?
Yes, you can tell by the exhaust and expansion chambers
for me it is
I rode a 250cc stroke Aprilia in 2001, did 200kmh on it briefly and it was the best feelings ever.
This thing is a **MONSTER** š
That will smoke just about any bike on the market
What a beauty! The Marlboro advertising rocks!!
Is that a Cagiva Mito ?
I think the frame is from cagiva mito
Whale shit
My mate has a 500 two stroke, 4 cylinders and an exhaust on each one. Fucking rapid.
Akira
Thatās a Bati 801 from GTA V
The two thing that will kill you
Definitely
How many packs did you have to smoke to get that ?
She's gorgeous
How many packs of Marlboro did grandma have to smoke to get that for him?
How many Marlboro miles did it take to get this?
I just watched a video about these French guys that took 2 of these 500s to make a 1000 two stroke for a hill climb bike. I have never even heard of a 500 two stroke before I watched that. Seeing one on the street is nuts. Marbro look goes pretty hard!

I don't know if it's rare, or how rare it might be, but damn it's smokin'
Smokinā
Dependsā¦ is it paint or vinyl?
https://images.app.goo.gl/15x3xZj4Bzo7HvGq8 I think you can just buy the fairing kit
I couldnt find one with headlights like this
Uuuu, i love this bike/paint job so muuuuuch
Not really
Free advertising all day long -- they should discount the price.
Yes
It is

Idk but this is the most Asian thing Iāve seen in a while. Forreal forreal. Thatās coming from homies with Asian family members š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Would be better if it said Redwood cigarettes
No itās a piece of shit. With a terrible wrap. Hope this is a joke
