You know if you told this to a shrink they'd get a power of attorney and probably a s37 order

You can't beat a good coffin tank RD, the white/red 400 was my favourite one.

MerlinPV12 · 01-07-2014, 10:09 PM

Badly wanted one when I was at school, just like this one! Great bike Albie

gary tompkins · 01-07-2014, 11:21 PM

I had a feeling you would end up buying it before long

I actually considered an RD or LC Yamaha as a track day bike prior to opting for the NC30. But even complete basket cases cost an absolute fortune

Very nice Sir

Albie · 02-07-2014, 05:55 AM

I have no ldea what to do with her. She isnt im told a minter but chromes good and engines good. Whether I go down the road of allspeeds I havent got a clue. Hope to get at end of month once I sell a moped and the Tt500. Price is good at 1850 and has a short mot but tax till may
I still think what you did regards track bike was best gt.

Albie!!! I thought my wife had it bad, but you give me a good run for my money!! Caroline is very understanding it seems

In the words of Maximo park, who I happened to be listening to this morning "You don't have to deny your urge, It doesn't make you bad"

To be fair I am selling 2 not only to make room but I was also going to swap it for the yellow german fizzy. I never wanted too but carolines face dropped very sad looking.

If you want to sell it on, let me know.
I had the very same colour scheme.
loved that bike

I love a coffin tank RD they are totally sublime, if it was mine I would leave "as is" and keep it clean and tidy, most bikes are ruined by restoration, ride fettle enjoy. I particularly love the red and white RD400. I've had most of the RD, 200, 250, 350 LC etc in my misspent youth. I had a Stan Stephens tuned 350LC with a set of TZ exhausts back in 87, it was much more antisocial than my monster with Termis, not helped by the fact that it was almost unrideable under 6000RPM

I am very jealous of your RD

I can assure it wont be being lightened ,blinged with light alloy or carbon or graphics. The only thing it may get if I feel the need, is expansion chambers IF I choose too. The condition is good enough to leave alone but only thing wrong is that it has a Honda front brake master because the seals went on the Yamaha one but will be doing them and the seat cowl needs a repaint due to the lacquer making the decal bleed when his painter painted it. Minor but like looking at a scab on your face.
Thanks for the positives and long may the older bikes be survivors of the throwaway society we live in. I have a good friend with a passion for bigger 2 strokes who can keep me company.
