Like I need more to do....cept...well I do.
I like 2 smokers, cept the EPA doesn't.
I don't have a pile of cash to buy an old RV500
I do have access to some RZ350 stuff, an entire bike, etc. Wondering out loud what would be a good chassis to put that motor into. That way I could plate it, ride it on the road, etc.
New ninja 250?
FZR400 ?
Or maybe put some modern bits on a RZ350 along with some modern looking bodywork?
I have seen some RZ 350's with older R6 shocks, forks and rims. I am Jonesing for a 2 stroke in the worst way. Looking for a RZ/RG 500. Also NSR 400 Honda. We still got 2 strokes in Canada, long after they were verboten in the land of the free.
I had a lot of 350's back in the day in South Africa. The RZ(power valve) was a better overall motor than the RD350LC. But the LC was easier to modify, porting and pipes. Good luck finding a decent one.
I like 2 strokes too. I have no idea how well a RZ would mount, chain drive side etc, but maybe the SV650 frame? I like the way they look and there must be lots of suspension bits available for them. A friend rides a red/white Roberts RZ and it sounds like many newer banshee parts are interchangeable.

Holy make the beast with two backsing Shit. :o
you dont mention location
i am guessing USA ??
can you even get the RZ 350 rego there ?
that would be my first option and work from there
otherwise i would just be scouting ebay till a dead engined bike rolled up that i would consider worth doing something with
who says its gotta have bodywork , bare naked noisy 2 smoker thats my choice [thumbsup]
Just find some ex-racer 250GP suspension (swingarm and fork/triples) and bodywork and build yourself a TigCraft (MiniMoto) style tubular frame.
One of my favorite bikes I built @20 years ago was an ex-race TZ250 with a SRX600 thumper transplant. It was a proverbial surgeons scalpel in comparison to everything on the road. Later sold to a roadracer who campaigned for years at Sears/Thunderhill and other Bay Area races.
do a search on scout24.de
maybe you could get something shipped from europe
Glad to see someone still flying the 2-stroke flag! [thumbsup]

I love 2-strokes. If I had money, I'd have a GT750, RD350/400, RZ350, RG500, and maybe a few more ~
