The RZV500R was designed exclusively for the Japanese home market although many have been exported privately. The RZV500R features upgraded parts not found on the standard RD500LC and RZ500. A major difference is the hand-welded aluminium frame, which is significantly lighter than the steel version used on standard models. The water temperature gauge also doubles as a fuel tank contents gauge at the push of a RHS lever (very useful feature given their fuel consumption) and the front-fork preload can be altered from the top of the forks. There is also a red light mounted within the tachometer housing that comes on at the equivalent of 55mph (Japanese maximum national speed limit). The speedo is of course calibrated in km/h.

Part of a private collection of Japanese machines this RZV500R is in good order and has not been used much since it was purchased. Said to have been running earlier this year, it will need light recommissioning before use out on the road. There is a current V5C accompanying the machine.
