Any of you know enough about RD's to say if that seems a good buy?

Four grand :shock:

He could buy something with Kawasaki on the tank and another cylinder for that money :wink:

I'm going to let him have a go of my S3a, hopefully he'll see the light.

It is top dollar, but doubt you would lose money on it. Rear shocks aren't standard but then again rear shocks and headlight were crap as standard. Prefer the look of the E/F models, but hey an RD 250/350/400 is a great ride anyway

This 250E was sold by a mate of mine a few weeks ago,just over 1000 on the clock as it left the show room,been in warm storage since it was a year old still had the 1979 tax disc. :shock:

Just thought it was a sad thing to see, A friend of mine has a Bonneville that was still in the crate, he realised that it was starting to deteriorate in there and removed and built it up but hasn't run it yet. Looks nice and he expects it to be worth millions in the future but I don't get it at all.

This bike is supposed to be in the nick it left Japan,the engine etc would need a rebuild before it was run,but its the lads pension better than money in the bank,he has been made some serious offers for it more than Z1 money. :shock:

Did someone say RD?? Bought it/restored it/sold it/should have keept it!!!

Now This is clean... He's asking top money for that. If you want it and your willing to pay his price, then offer him Â£3,500. and work from there.
When i sold mine i could have got a lot more. P..SED.
