2 Strokes Down Under

I agree the NS400 was a nice bike, particularly the styling and the build quality was of the time when Honda really were just showing off (they're beautifully detailed in comparison to the RZ & RG), but I also agree they were totally under done in the 'go' department. Not even a full 400cc and n...

That has to be a great buy, an original unmolested bike that's been well looked after and with a fully recon engine plus the best colour scheme available this side of the world - if only I had room in the garage, oh, and the money.....

Someone buy it!

RZs seem to be going up, but I do wonder how many people there are out there willing/able to pay strong prices for them. Beautiful example of the breed in this case, probably the best factory colour scheme imho (Kenny Rogers version not really being a non-US colour). Kenny Rogers! Wash your mouth o...

Hold on... are CRS and Link the same? I thought CRS was Graham and Link was in Melbourne, not being funny, just making sure i have the info right and it will help people who come along and read this later as well... Yep, this thread has confused the hell out of me too! It would appear they're two d...

I've used Realtime Express several times to ship pipes, barrels and a two-stroke engine. Good value and all done online.

You can work out the cost using their online calculator: https://www.realtimeexpress.com.au/?gcl ... pAodeDwAjw

That's a nice looking streety, what shock is that i see poking out? It's a fully adjustabe ELKA shock. My ST3 isn't an R as I bought it before the R's came out. Wasn't happy with the suspension so fitted a Daytona front end and the ELKA shock (among other bits & pieces!), then of course Triumph...

Welcome Waggy, good luck on the quest for a two stroke, lots of knowledgeable people on this forum to assist you with your chosen direction. Like your current ride also! The ST3 is a great bike and has the spirit of a RD/RZ350 I reckon - my daily ride is below! http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww2...

Welcome Chop, you'll find plenty of people here willing to help motivate you to 'invest' in the mighty two stroke - though I must warn you that once you start it seems to be a little hard to stop - a bit like the feeling you get when you're slowly sinking in quick-sand..... though a bit more fun.......

Yep, 90hp ain't bad at all. Good thing you upgraded the suspension and brakes!

Looks like you've done a lovely job on the RG, looks like new. I have to admit that I much prefer that red/whit/blk colour scheme to the blu/white ones. Also makes your fork / wheel mods look very factory - particularly the black forks. Lovely! If you need motivation for your KR250 build I believe t...

Welcome! Very nice bikes you have there. I like the fork and wheel mods on the RG - are they aprilia? It's not obvious when you first look at the photo but looks like a nice upgrade and a nice change from the usual RGV mods. Good luck with KR250, will watch your progress with interest - have one mys...

Yikes! Watching that makes me feel like such a pussy!

Anyone here pick up this absolute god damned bargain of the last decade??

$1000!!! Clearly the seller had no idea what it was worth..... Didn't stay on eBay for long... Obviously.

How was that worth $1,154???

Beautiful RZ you have, the nicest colours I reckon (I've owned them all in the past and have an '83 K model now). If I was looking for one then that's a bike I would buy for sure, especially knowing how much my K cost to get to a condition I'm happy with. Good luck with the sale - make sure you post...
