Title: New Project (warning: 2-stroke content!!!) Post by: Paegelow on April 29, 2009, 06:02:12 PM I picked up this '75 RD200 today from a guy right down the street. $175!
Needs a new battery and some reassembly, and then I think it'll be ready to rock and roll!!!

Post by: Duck-Stew on April 29, 2009, 06:55:12 PM Get it running and licensed up. Then try to remove 100lbs from it as you slowly loose your mind into the Cafe-Racer era of the 70's.
Oh yeah, and post pics as you do so we have the evidence needed to call the guys with the long sleeved white jackets. [laugh] Title: Re: New Project (warning: 2-stroke content!!!)

Title: Re: New Project (warning: 2-stroke content!!!) Post by: Scottish on April 29, 2009, 11:07:13 PM Love me some of those '70's bikes. They go anywhere do anything, with something like 75mpg and they were just impossible to fully kill. Anything that went wrong was something that you or a guy you knew could fix in an afternoon for a 12pack and materials.
