Hey guys. The summer got going and I got busy with other "projects" like drinking beer in a hammock on an island. I never got around to cleaning my little RD up or even posting a picture. Here's one snapped this morning on the way to work.


The seat cover is on it's last legs and I need some little things like repro decals for the side covers and to clean up the paint on the crankcase and covers but it's almost all there.

Those RD 400's are fast, very fast with a bit of tuning.

TeeCat I rode my Ninja 250 170 miles on Sunday with some friends.

Tacoswild- that little RD looks to be pretty cherry.

Cool that 400 looks great, must be pretty quick too. The little 200 tops out around 75mph but it's fun in the city, feels like a bmx if you've been riding a big bike.

reno71, i think these bars were the stock ones? not positive. I have a flatter bar i might put on there.
