My brother had the next gen (water cooled) version of that in the late '80's (what were they called?). Of the 3 bikes he had before the 400 (KZ-650, Yam 650 v-twin, CB650 Night Hawk DOHC), he was able to sell this one before wrecking it.
Now  1972 CB350FX (experimental v2.0)
        1981 CB650c Custom with '79 engine (wifes)
        1981 CB650 engine
        2004 HD XL883C Custom
        1977 Yamaha XS750D (in progress)
Then 1972 CL175
        1964 Yamaha YGS-1T

You are thinking of the RZ350...
'84 Chevy C10
'73 MGB Roadster
'69 Ford F250

Currently a rider without a bike

That RD400 looks horrible.  my buddy and his dad have between them about 9 of those in the yard. 4 or so of em are complete and will run with a little effort.

the seat is why that one looks awful. too short, and way too low. 

the RD350 is actually better to build because of a better bottom end I'm told.
