    RD 400/RZ 350's

    I'm thinking of adding one to my garage call it sentimental purchase. I had a 74 Rd for my first street bike in 77 or so and I would love another one of them. I think the 400 or RZ would be cool too. It's similar to a thread already percolating on the forum I know and I have been following it closely to see what crops up. I could spend maybe 5 grand or so to start the process.

    Is there a question in there?

    I have an RD400 that I love, it's light, quick and simple.

    I have a great RD 350, 1975.

    It is an awesome bike to run around on.

    Agree I'm hoping to find a good one in the next 6 months or so.
    I'm in no hurry and if the right one pops up it could be any of the 3 models.

    Good luck hunting.

    I found my RD after looking off and on for about a 5 year period. I finally pulled the trigger on my current 1975 RD 350.

    I had my first RD 350 back in 1978. It was a 1973. Since that first RD, I've had 10 other bikes(+/-) even a RD 400 was in the mix. But those RD 350's are in a class all by themselves. They are so much fun to run.

    I have several other bikes now and my RD gets it fair shre of time on the road.

    Good luck in your hunting.

    Just started restoring my RZ and also building a hydrid version at the same time using my pile of spare parts!
    Hope to have one of them on the road next season.....

    needs 2 $3 jets? The bike looks nice...but... if its not running perfect...be cautious. If you do your own work, no issues... I love it... swap some modern wheels on it with better brakes, nice! great deal...

    +1 on this. This is sketchy - you do all this work and don't jet it properly? I would be very cautious, this bike may have been damaged by improper jetting. Something is not right here.
