16540I just finished my ongoing project the other day!! I have an '86 Yamaha RZ500. It's the twostroke V-4, lots of motor work done, new body and wheels and forks.......... etc. i think it will even fit in the back of my E! It's windscreen is lower than the handle bars on my mountain bike!! Here's to 100hp on tap!! Enjoy!

Nice bike. I've been looking for an older bike to restore and se for vintage track days and such. That one looks like fun. Good luck keeping the front wheel on the ground.

Wow! Hang on to that one. I've had 3 crotch rockets but never a 2 cycle. i used to ride with a friend that had a Yellow Yamaha 2 cycle sport bike...250 cc's I think...or 350...can't remember. It would really fly in the mountains of New Mexico where I used to live. I had a 1985 Honda Interceptor 500 and I couldn't run the S curves and keep up with him. He did have to keep the revs up though to stay in the powerband.
Great job on the restoration!

Can you say "powerband" boys and girls? I knew you could.
