I still enjoy jumping on my '85 Yamaha RZ350 2-stroke... the yellow and black Kenny Roberts Signature Edition, helped by aftermarket expansion chambers and re-jetted. This little beast has always been more bike than I am a rider, but makes it so easy to wait on the other side of the mountain while your buddies finally show up, to ask..."How can that thing just be a 350"?

To me, this bike is the essence of a 'cafe racer'...and I loved my previous RD350 and RD400 2-strokes...no starters, no timing chains, no valves to adjust...what's not to like? For a tune-up, just hold it wide open for about 15seconds in a lower gear! Love my 2-strokes!!
