No one should be allowed to have 3 DS's.  Please send me one as I am DS poor.

Lovely bikes, thanks for posting. Is the black bike an RD? I love the pipes on that bike.
2 stroke smell and blue smoke and expansion boxes screaming, can't beat it!

Thanks for the kind comments.  The black bike is a 1975 RD350 with 1977 RD400 wheels, brakes and gas tank.

Two stroke smell and sound is addicting.   :)

Hi Jim,  I do it all except balancing the crank, boring cylinders and painting the body work.   Other than that I do it all.  That's why the bikes take so long  :-[

Nice bikes.

How much time do you invest in the average restoration?

Was the bikes Kenny Roberts used to win races on a RD350 or a RZ350?

Never had one, but that man could ride!

Personally, I like my little Kawasaki S2 better than my cb750's
peace.

I honestly don't know how much time.  If I included research and thinking about how I'm going to do something, it would be considerable.  That time is my outlet and I'd spend more if I could  :)

Kenny Roberts won races on all kinds of Yamahas.  Most famous for the TZ series bikes I believe.  I'm sure he probably won something on an RD.

The R5 and then RD350's big claim to fame is winning Daytona (a few times I think) over bikes with twice the displacement (including big two and four strokes)

The first time I was over a 100mph on a motorcycle was on an S2.  Talk about sentimental value :'(

Thanks.
