Cotton eyed Joe Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animalman294 Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csrmel Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 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.

BigRed350x Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 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.

Meat Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
