Bike prices in FL are out of control so you have to figure that in. non runners going for 500-1000

Theres no less than 3 rd 350's down where I am for under 2k. The market for them really dropped here for some reason, a year ago they were going for 3k.

My RD is all original and I would have never thought it was worth $3K, maybe $2500 in the Spring?  I only paid $1200 so I am ok with it. 
Rd's (and all two stroke street bikes for that matter) are very scarce here in the midwest Steve-o...regularly sell for twice what a comparable jap four stroke twin would, if you can even find one...and let's not get yours confused with a rd400, or a rd350lc(Kenny Roberts), or an rd500! :o :o :o

Pretty much gas and go. It does what it is designed to do VERY well. Riding position limits are very noticeable around town. It'll inhale lots of miles in a short period of time.
It has a lot of plastic parts. The wiring harness underneath the fairing says "made in China". It gets about 38-40 mpg mixed riding. Tires are expensive. Oil changes are about 30.00, I use 20-50 Honda gn4 and Honda filter. It's hard to keep as clean as I like, and wax doesn't last very long. It's one of the fastest things I've ever driven.
It revs high and gets there quickly. I thank my lovely wife for convincing me that I needed to quit whining and just get one, before I got too old. I'm 56 now, and am done with the payments. I like it  :)...another one crossed off the bucket list.
