Well, I have been looking for a new project and everything is beyond my price, so I picked up this to work on for the winter. Not a S30, but it is a 70’s Japanese Machine  with a Z in the model name.

I'm checking FB's marketplace everyday. I want a Yamaha RD400.

My Dad had one when I was a kid and let me ride it. He had to hold it up to leave out and on return I blew the horn and rode around the yard until he came out to hold it up while I was climbing off. 2 stroke street bike. Kenny Roberts raced them for years, they have a replica of it.

Nice! My dad had one of those when I was in high school. Got to ride it some, what a blast, that thing was a freaking rocket. Begged him to sell it to me when he decided to get rid of it. He wouldn't hear of it. He probably saved my life!

Always loved the RD400, that and the SR500 thumper would always have a space in my garage

Is that the 900cc three cylinder two stroke bike?

Trying not to clutter this site with bike stuff, but had to post how the engine parts came back from vapour blasting. Really impressed with the look. @CanTechZ I used VaporBlastCanada which is in Chilliwack if you need anything done.
