Ok i decided i want a resto project
Would realy like a RZ500 or RG500 but i think its out of my budget if i want to keep racing this season (but if there is a knocked about one out there cheap :D)
So settling on an old fave i used to own and had a lot of fun on
RD400
So if you know of any in the back of sheds etc let me know :)

I have one. I'll organise some photos, and, if you're interested then we'll belt out a price.

I was going to cafe racer it, but with Uni next year it's probably going to be sitting in the same condition it is currently in 3yrs time.

Perfect :)
When you get a chance to take some pics g-mwatters at bigpond dot com or send to the phone number
Also if you could tell me your evaluation of the general condition, and year and anything else you think relevant (like value)
Thanks [:p]

Realy would prefer the 400 Kev but the 350 or a t500 suz would be a good second choice

I'm organising those pics for you as well as the description of the bike.

It has to be dragged out of the back of the shed and dusted off mate. But the side covers (Yes it's one of the two models that has them) are still fully in tact...

Real soft spot for the old suzi 2 strokes too my first roadbike was a t 250 , had it for 18 months and was busted on it twice, sold it before i got my licence though , would have been good to be able to ride it legally
