My Latest Bike
« on: January 23, 2009, 10:25:46 PM »
Yup, a two stroker. Plated, but not so street legal.
It will be more street legal when I'm done. And then probably up for sale.
See anything unusual?

Uh... rear view mirrors? The white stripe on the front wheel?

BTW: Howabout some details on this beauty? I don't know 2 strokes to save my life.

OK, its a '82 TZ 250 (water cooled originally) with a street RD 400 air cooled motor in it.  ;D
I call it the Mongrel...
I just picked it up that way.
And yes, all clearances are tight!  :o

Don't street it, get out there and vintage race it. Killer bike man. If I knew the first thing about a two smoker I would have an RD/RZ in the garage. I am just a 4 cycle person I guess, those 2 cycles just have a whole different learning curve.

I missed this one first time round in 2009, strange how it's popped up here again after I found it on a two stroke forum a few days ago and posted it in the inspiration gallery.  :-\

Great looking bike. 2strokers can be fun and the plus side to them is they're simple to work on. No valve adjustments.
