I remember those RDs! Screamin' Meemies!! They used to call them giant killers.

Hope you enjoy the site!
Let me get this straight... it's one down and four up, right?

Enjoy it, the season is just getting started soon!

I'd love to take a RD350 for a spin one day. The two strokes sound like a heck of a lot of fun on a Sunday morning. :D

I recently got a Moto Guzzi California EV Touring that I'm very proud of. Previous bike was a Triumph Speedmaster which didn't really suit the riding I wanted to do (still managed to put about 8000 miles on it though).

I just bought a '96 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 Classic on Tuesday. Already put over 150 miles on it. I love it so far. Very comfortable ride, plenty of power, and, thanks to the previous owner who must have had a chrome fetish, very nice looking.

Yep that RD350 was a giant killer. Used to get into drag races all the time with my buddies with the big bore machines, and would wax 'em up to about 80 mph, then it was good bye big 'uns, they'd pass me. Lots of fun.

I spent 5 years on a '77' RD-400. Bored, balanced, DG expansion chambers, air forks, cafe bars, the works. There wasn't a box stock 750 that could touch it. Raced a kz-900 in the quarter and he only beat me by a 1/2 bike length. The down side? After i was done ratting this bike out it barely got 25mpg. Not fun to have to fill up every 75 miles. To this day though it was the best bike I ever owned. It felt like it was almost alive.

Those RD 350's where fast killers for sure, but great fun. I really liked the sound of them.
My current bike is a 77 GS400 and a 2001 YZF600R
