2 Strokes Down Under

That's a nice looking ride gman...I'll be sure and keep you all posted of my progress.

gman, cannot thank you enough. I've got a manual and yes I've set myself a list of tasks just as you suggest. I've set myself a target...ride my RD to the BSFOS at the creek in March, which is an easy 30 min ride from my place (as if anything to do with Sydney traffic is easy haha). That's March 201...

Wow...thanks for all the great feedback, I'm really glad I joined this forum. Guy I bought it from believed it to be a 350, I believe the tank is from a 350 and both side covers certainly are. After some checking it is a 250, with matching engine and frame numbers starting with 352. He was genuinely...

Cool, I've learnt something today...I'll take that wager big maaaan, clear over top of what you see. It's only original once and I figure a clear coat is preserving that. Cheers A.

Maybe gold or bronze, not sure so share yo...

As much as I love the 'baby shit brown concept' it's actually a metallic gold, the bsb is from sun damage. My plan is to keep it as original as possible, just lay some clear over the paint, etc.
Thanks for your feedback...cheers A.

Hi Jon, when you say AC do you mean it's an RD250AC? that designates the year?
Seller seemed like a nice bloke, just couldn't offer much info / detail.

cheers A.

Yes, I'll sort it tomorrow...apologies for the stuff up, cheers A.

Another forum member has informed me it's a 75, as the frame number starts with 352. It's a matching numbers bike, but so far all I've been able to determine is that it isn't stolen and that it's not been registered in NSW or the ACT. Original as in has the same handgrips it left the factory with. T...

A big hello to my fellow lovers of all things two stroke... I'm in Western Sydney and recently joined the World of vintage Japanese bike ownership with the purchase of an RD 250. Saw it on the bay of 'é' and made an offer which was accepted. It was advertised as a 350, but after checking it appears ...

great...thanks for the info. I found YC247 on the barrel. Bike is fitted with a front disc brake. Pics will be posted soon. Cheers A.

All, new to the site...need help trying to determine whether a bike is a 250 or 350. Engine and frame numbers match and start with 352. One site tells me it is a 73 rd 250, but there seems to be a bit of BS on some sites. Info on-line seems a little confusing and thought someone here would be able t...
