This is my '77. It needs some brake work and maybe rearsets, but is lots of fun.

You're bad enough on a sled with two skis and a big wide track to keep you stable, I'd hate to see you on a bike with only two skinny rubber patches to keep you stuck to the pavement. Scary........

you now me well. put the old toy away long ago as stuff comes at a guy real fast. still not sure i want to get on the old iron as i can't see far enough down the road.

maybe that's why i fly off the trail into the trees lots.

I've got an '80 RD400. I ride it in between other bikes. Wife only rode it once last year. All stock except different bars & some custom carbon fiber VF3 pedals to replace worn stockers. Rubber like new, new pads, & wheel brgs,original paint, a few small "character" scuffs/scratches from previous owner. Don't use it near enough. Anyone interested?

like to see it, post a few pics if your able.

Still great shape, gets ridden (24000km), although less & less each year...
Tires have less than 500km, make me an offer/Trades?

I had an RD 350 years ago. It was a great little bike. Thought it was fast. Well, until I got my RZ 500.

Do you still have the RZ? I was short of cash (in school) when the RG and RZ's were around, but I made regular trips to the dealerships just to drool.:d

Yes I do. I also have a 72 Ossa Pioneer I bought in 1973. They sit beside a red framed CZ 380 Falta Replica. I've had that since 85. None of them are for sale.
