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!!

I had both an RD350 and 400 back in high school. they were great bikes. Gotta love the sound of a two stroke twin revving.  |
