Mastiff Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 In Norway we're getting a new rule for bikes from the first of Jan, which says that you need to drive a "medium heavy" bike for two years before you can start with the real fun stuff. My son's getting there in one and a half year, and he's dreaming of an RD 250 around '80, same type as his current 125 DX cast wheel bike. Is it realistic to find something like this, or would it be a wild goose chace? An RD 200 DX would of course be an alternative, I guess they have a pretty similar perfomance, right?

Moderator mervin Posted November 4, 2012 Moderator Share Posted November 4, 2012 You will find the 250 is a heavier and quicker, and less complicated electrics wise, as it does not have the electric start of the 200 , there are a lot of new parts being made for the RD,s now, the 250,s seem to be more popular here than the smaller bikes, also the 400 is the same size bike but bigger engine but they are becoming very expensive, there is a model guide on our aircooled rd forum http://www.aircooledrdclub.com/smf/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastiff Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Thanks! I actually didn't know that the 200 DX had electric start. It feels sort of wrong, really... These bikes should be kicked into life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator mervin Posted November 4, 2012 Moderator Share Posted November 4, 2012 yes the 200 is very simlar to the 125, I beleive the 200 and 125 share the same frame , there are plenty of 250, in the uk , and as i say have a look at the aircooled forum , in hot topics there are posts with the details of most aircooled models on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
