The pressed steel frame is ultra-stiff, ditto the gull-armed swing-arm and 39mm upside-down forks. Front and rear suspension rates, critical on a bike weighing just 125kg, are non-adjustable. Its softly sprung and damped set-up suited me, soaking up bumps which could easily put the RG into orbit were it wrong. The bars are quite wide every control upon them is light and precise which makes the light steering ultra-sensitive. At times, over catseyes or in sidewinds, the RG, always light on its Dunlop K375s, gets a bit frisky but is damn nearly RGV-brilliant.
