1977 Yamaha RD400 (RD350 Fuel Tank) - $7,500

The bike was completed in 2013, has multiple local show wins, was Two Stroke World Bike of the Month for Sept 2013, and featured in Cafe Racer Magazine's Readers Rides section (Jan 2015). Bike runs and looks flawless. It's been a fair weather rider with probably 500 miles on it since completed. Tuned perfectly, it starts on first / second kick and never fouls plugs. Perfect 2mm smoke ring was obtained during plug chops. Engine conservatively timed @ 1.7mm BTDC and running 32:1 premix Amsoil Interceptor oil and 93 Octane. All wiring is neatly tucked under seat and fuel tank. New owner will receive a color wiring diagram of the bike I did in AutoCAD.

Right but the motorcycle is a motorcycle, that's a wheelchair for old fat guys. :).

Also the motorcycle is a custom built one of a kind product of someones love and dedication. The wheelchair is a mass produced love of the american dollar, sold to you using your own patriotism to prevent you from questioning it's erm questionable engineering.
 
First off welcome, sorry to hear about the 2strokeworld thing. Love the black flag stickers. That's a pretty bike
 
Yeah, pretty neat machine.


Good luck with the sale - I doubt anyone here will be rushing out to buy it off you, though....
