How out of all the crazy fast 2 stroke triples.....

[Useful Idiot]

...which one do you think is the most affordable for a cafe/rat bike?

I've heard the stories about the Kaw Mach IV (and how much those things cost)

I've seen a couple RD350's sprinkled around CL and ebay and I guess my question is, what's the most common triple?

 

[scum]

Don't know which is the most popular, but the RDs seem to be the least costly. My buddy just sold a beauty of an rd200 for $750. Those were twins not triples.

Good two-stroke board.... http://kawasakitriplesworldwide.com/phpBB2/index.php

Hey, I'd definately recommend getting a Triple!! ;D ;D

I've had 3 Kawi 750 H2's over the years and they're loads of fun!! If you're looking for the most reasonable $$ for a Triple, look for a 500. There seem to be lots available for reasonable $$ here in Canada.

The U.S. Triples board is a good one and there's a cool Canadian one too at:

If you're looking to buy Canadian, there's a good place to start! 8) 8) 8)

There's nothing wrong with RD's too! I love all 2 strokes, but can't afford to own more than 1 at a time!

Good luck with your search!! ;D

The most common is def the H1. They easily made i think 10,000 of them from 69 to 76. I think 76 is the last year for them. Eventually i may hunt down another, the S3's are also somewhat common. The frame is a bit smaller but they are a little more nimble from what i hear than its bigger brother.

Plus they have cheap ignition points vs the 200 dollar ignition system the H1 has. Either way they are both badass bikes.

Yup, the H1 became the KH500 in later years. You can find good examples all over.

Having said that, there are lots of Yam RD RZ fans out there who'd say the same! 8)

Take your pick! ;D
