    I am open to anything but an RD based bike is of particular interest. I am more inclined to purchase something you can still get engine and brake parts for. [email protected]

    I see you are in MD. I travel to the eastern panhandle (Martinsburg, WV) about once a month.

    Get an RZ350. Tons of aftermarket go fast parts.

    Makes sense......where do I find one and what should I be looking for in terms of setup? Would going to an event be a more realistic with regards to finding something worth purchasing?
    Thanks

    I found it. I'm really looking for a race bike, not a stock road legal motorcycle. Hopefully something someone has enjoyed but they are done. Something like 50Joe sold on here for a friend a while back. It doesn't have to be a stock frame. The engine should be modified for road racing.....ignition, porting, pipes, squish and compression for race gas. Spares like any racer would have would be great.
    Thanks

    Start a new thread titled "Looking for race ready RZ350" They are out there sitting in some peoples garages. You may just have to search and wait. Post on the CCS forum too. Also on RzRD500 website and 2 stroke world.

    Mike:
    I am about 90% finished restoring a 1980 TZ. Need to finish the front wheel, fit the fairing, and do a bit more. It could be the basis for a very competitive race bike. Mark Morrow rode it in some WERA events four or five years ago. You can email me if you are interested. [email protected].
