Moderator YamaHead Posted January 14, 2006 Author Moderator Share Posted January 14, 2006 It does look a bit large I can't believe how many AC/RD's I've seen pics of from Japan, that have the 1-piece Daytona style Ram-Air head on 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted January 15, 2006 Author Moderator Share Posted January 15, 2006 Nice late model RD50 DX..... Interesting spoke pattern on those wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted January 16, 2006 Author Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2006 Cool RX-Z 135? I think it is..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDYROSE Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Hey Scott! I came on here to look at the pic of the Brazilian 135 to compare with the pic you posted on the other site and found it on here too, made the comparison easie . A very pretty little bike indeed! By the way, you posted a picture further up of a TZ lookalike which you described as a 'well known special', but it's not to me. Do you have any details please? Cheers, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any details please? Cheers, Andy I recall seeing it on the AC/RD site awhile back.......Alan made a few compliments on it..... I think it made an appearance @ Ashbourne a few years earlier All I know is that it has an early model LC swingarm & those lovely Allistar wheels .....also believe it has the Battery-Eliminator mod done to it.

Moderator YamaHead Posted February 1, 2006 Author Moderator Share Posted February 1, 2006 Now here's an AC with a twist ...... An R5 with a 350LC lump shoe-horned into it It belongs to a guy in California that frequents the USA 2strokers forum.....which is Admin'd by the infamous ButtRider from the LC site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDYROSE Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Flippin' 'eck! I reckon he probably needs those gas shocks and (what I asume to be) RD forks on there, I would think the handling must be pretty interesting Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baabaashep Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Its nice to have a good 'auld chin wag' in here and see some stunning examples of classic RD's I miss my 'weetabix' yellow 250E now (andy you said I would ..) Non UK peeps references: 1.Weetabix is a UK breakfast cereal of many many years. The box cover is yamaha yellow hence the ref.I took the colour got t matched and saved a fortune in paint costs 2. Auld is scottish for 'old' and chin wag is 'talk' Pete I recall seeing it on the AC/RD site awhile back.......Alan made a few compliments on it..... I think it made an appearance @ Ashbourne a few years earlier All I know is that it has an early model LC swingarm & those lovely Allistar wheels .....also believe it has the Battery-Eliminator mod done to it. Nice, but i think I'd be more confortable with a twin disc setup. Power yes, stopping ...maybe? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator YamaHead Posted February 4, 2006 Author Moderator Share Posted February 4, 2006 Another Very Yellow 400 just in case RDly ever shows his face here again I believe he's still a Mod here? ...... This was taken @ the Annual 2-Stroke Extravaganza Show put on by Moto-Carrera in Southern CA. The DG radial-finned head is a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDYROSE Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Yellow is definately NOT my colour of choice (why do people like riding around on a daffodil?) but that is a seriously nice bike Scott. As it was in Southern CA I assume you didn't take the pic and have no further details? Cheers, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted February 4, 2006 Author Moderator Share Posted February 4, 2006 As it was in Southern CA I assume you didn't take the pic and have no further details?

Moderator YamaHead Posted February 23, 2006 Author Moderator Share Posted February 23, 2006 Finally found that Jap RD site I've been searching for......where there seems to be a fair amount of these Looks like a Japanese version of the Daytona to me. Tidy looking 250 in the same bodywork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoggoth80 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 neat pics... that twin headlight tracker-esque model is one of the machines one motocarrera's website... it's a special you can order from them... wait time is like 6 months to 1 year. they have a much better street tracker... very much an inspiration for me... ha ha ha. kinda want that look, without the big square front plate, and something other than yellow. it's cool to see all these strokers cafe'd out. that is closer to their true form in my head. light, and fast.... as far as japan goes, it seems they're having a bit of a two-stroke fit over there. i have seen NEW chambers for the S3/KH400 on ebay coming from japan, and new sets can still be ordered and built there (more than i can say for over here... S3/KH400 chambers are rare as hell)...so it isn't surpsising to see a lot of nice RD examples coming out of the area. if you can find a forum, contact some of the guys in japan, and ask around, that is if communication isn't a barrier. might turn out some really snazzy results. i had a decent pic of a 99% complete RD cafe... but it had no seat padding, but it looked pretty good.
