Oh God I'm a you tube slut!! Iv'e seen that piece of road before in an RD350 clip. Neat machine you have there , all I could afford was a ported Elsie when the 500 was new.

what a beauty, took my bike test on that road :D... wish it was when you was riding that past. looks like the cornish weather was shining for you

[martinfretwell]

great bike but you ride like a wuss rd,s belong on the back wheel

looks good, goes good, sounds good and is totally unique in todays 4-stroke bike marketplace !

Wish i had my 'John Kocinski' stars-n-stripes rep RZ500LC for just another day today !!

(But thinking about it - the stars and stripes & eagle were maybe not the best paint job - but was fine in the 80's)

I wish I have this bike

The guy that owns it came over today.

It sounds good & runs very sweet.

The friend that owns this one is aware of the main bearing issue but is unlikey to trouble him yet as the bike has only done about 8000 miles from new.Annual mileage is less than a thousand dry miles a year.He loves the bike.

Love these bikes. Sound fantastic and go like stink if you don't mind the astronomical petrol consumption. Watch the main bearings tho. Been reliably informed that they go at 20,000 miles.
