a very beautiful example sounds great and i can almost smell the 2 stroke,do you still have it ? im looking to find one but theres not a lot to look at...if you know anyone who`s letting one go i`d be very interested
@jimbothegarbo Curry, is the #1 spice in all the World, the Amerca's eat Curry like it was Pussy. It makes more money than Gasoline. You know nothing about my Country and Culture!
Great bike, mine was RD 250, summer of 1978 and dog's bollocks, if you had one you'll remember all the Honda Dreams, GT 250's, KH's and the rest, they didn't come close to the RD, acceleration was blistering and it had brakes & handling to match, easiest bike in the world to ride.
@jixuscrixus Oh dear. The KH, GT and RD were so close to the same performance it did'nt matter. I had an RD but being 4 stone heavier than my mate he pissed all over me on his KH.
I loved my RD-400 and RD-350. They were like rubber bands. Nothing could beat me off the line. "TWANG" and they were gone. And yes, they were the best sounding two-strokes ever made. Now I'm an old codger riding a Harley 1200 Sportster (sounds cool with the hot cam) but I'd love to have my RD-400 again.
Was this video shot in the Southwest? I heard a Mourning Dove in the the background like we have in West Texas.
Sorry i have to disagree with that comment, I think most people would put the Kwaka 2 strokes as the best sounding bikes, i love the old 2 strokes but me old KH 400 really sounded the nuts.
Excellent stuff....The aircooled RD club is having its rally at Ashbourne in Derbyshire, UK, on 13/14/15 July 2007. Biggest RD get together in the world. Over 130 RD's on the Saturday rideout in 2006.
Piece of shit!
