Thats awesome. My buddy came up to my shop on an RD?400 bike that had those same pipes hanging down. It didn't look like it would take much to get them banged up from road debris/children crossing the street.

one day im going to have to get me one of those bikes, but they are wicked expensive for their age.

That looks pretty cool, and I bet that boost bottle really helps the aerodynamics too.

 

Those pipes sure hang down there, if that was my bike they would be worn through in a day and a half ridin' through the twisties.............. :beer:

I see some really clean fab work... whoever did it has access to some nice tools...

Hey im not to good with street bikes but can someone enlighten me on what was so good about the rz bike i guess its called. not saying there bad just want to know a lil about them.

[csrmel]

on street bikes, there isnt too much of an issue with low hanging pipes. typically you dont have rocks and tree stumps on the road like there is when 4 wheeling, so low hanging pipes usually dont encounter any problems.

 

to guy guy askin about rz bikes, they are very basically a banshee with 2 wheels and fully street legal.

Anyone ever seend the RDZ500 vr4?

THat would be awesome in a banshee chassis. Heck or even street legal.

Maybe i can get stationed in japan and find an alminum framed one!

there is one in an LT chassis. look for pics on macdizzy.

theres an rz500 on ebay. its up to 10,000.

 

like i said earlier, id love to have a 350 or heck even a 500, but they are so damned expensive for a bike that age.

[BigRed350x]

That bike looks good. Imagine a crotch rocket with a 10mil cheetah.... Mmmmm Pull up beside an R1 or Busa and they would be like WTF... I wonder how that would pan out?? Would be cool to watch if nothing else.

Rz's are fun. the motor is the best feature of the bike. The chassis is setup for 0 to 80mph speeds. Speeds over 100 and the chassis feels very.... hairy :baseball_shocked: My Rz will push 115 mph.

 

The price of the rz is goin' up. They used to sell for $1500 and $2000. I just seen a yellow and black '85 with 16k miles sell for $3500. There's a red white and blue Rz just like mine on Ebay right now and its bid up to $3000. Everyone wants a motorcycle now that gas prices are high.
