Hi,
I am considering buying an RZV500R, ex Japan.
Any advice on originality would be appreciated.
Thanks

The windshield may be original but is missing the trim piece? The tail vent has been modded to run Chambers by the look of the expanded diameter silencer holes. Doubtful on the mileage as the rotor wear looks more than that and the master cylinder condition in particular. Not sure if RZV side panel reflectors? Looks pretty good but may have been rejetted and run hard by a former owner? Original tank fuel decal is there which is nice. Better HiRes photo's would help give advice. Welcome aboard and good luck!
