MISC: these are most of the major component details, there are way to many small details to list, the bottom line on this bike is...it is as close to a brand new rd400 full racebike as you can find. it is by no means perfect, but due to the attention to detail during its assembly. it is mecanically exceptional and reliable. no one could ask for more from a 30 plus year old machine. if youve always wanted a rd400 F-500/ V-3/ f-2stroke (WERA) race bike here you go, it is saftey wired, piston rings are broke in (3 heat cycles) and jetted close, road tested up to 4th gear. all it needs is pre-mix race fuel (110 octane or higher) a rider and a track to finish testing and jetting.

 

Very nice bike ... wow!

 

That is sweet...

(Easy, Charles...)

 

i just put more pics in my ? profile

 

Lovely creation, lots of attention to detail...some of you 4-popper riders who are in the closet should come out on this one...a very attractive price for the work and materials/parts put into this bike.

C'mon, Chummy, open up that fat wallet and come on over! Ride on in for the Big Win! and just in time for the Barber Challenge!

ring ding ding, ding ding!

My only question is: can it corner low? :up:

 

That's very thoughtful of you Charles, and despite your accurate assessment of that fine machine, I'm afraid I'm going to have to decline...I want my chili dog...

 

This bike can corner low...your chili dog can't.




"You should accept your fate, it would give you more dignity."

 

Charles, put your thinking cap on...You should purchase that fine machine to stand in for the, "Yellow Peril," when it's having one of its heavy flow days*...

*(out of the cases, the cylinders, the chambers, into the catch can and belly pan, and across a wide swath of ground...)

 

Fixed it for ya, and the only thing that's gonna flow anywhere are those chili dogs out of you...

 

Charlesssssssss...Popeye had his spinach, I have my chili dogs...Fear the chili dog, Charles...

Now buy the guy's RD, you know you want to...

 

I do indeed fear the potent chili dog!

It's a great RD, and I hope Matt is not bowing out of vintage racing- Matt?-it will make someone proud, I was hoping you'd finally give in to your latent urges to go native and get this bike! You could corner low and zap the 4-stroke snails in a cloud of fragrant premix.

And yes I'd be tempted by this one, but I've got Project X2 in the making, and the midnight oil is burning for wrenches turning as we speak...

 

i would love nothing more than to take it out for a test race or 2 or10 but i think it would deminish its vaule! besides i blew my knee out falling off a step ladder. and even though i still have not been able to even think about finding a few dollars to put towards racing. in the right hands it should be a lethal weapon! also i noticed its getting dusty.AND THATS JUST WRONG!!!!!!!

 

The rest of the two stroke crowd should be around shortly, lighting farts and throwing oil fouled plugs at each other, you should sell that bike in short order. It is a nice piece...If Charles had the sense God gave seafood he'd buy it for the inevitable BANG when the "Yellow Peril" goes up like a party favor...

 

Rumors of the death of the "Yellow Peril" are greatly exaggerated...in fact, I am seeking the services of a rider with great and uncanny skill, a person with wit, intelligence, and fame, to pilot the "Yellow Peril" to victory at Barber. You'll weep then, Chummy, as your favored 4-stroke farm devices shit the bed trying to keep up to the incarnate power of the Almighty 2-Stroke. And you, Sir, shall simply be...IN AWE!




"Is there something wrong with anything?"

 

Keep taunting me with this Barber ploy, Charles...What looks like acres and acres of sweet, sweet undulating asphalt, without the triple jumps and acrylic snot patches we've become accustomed to here up North, coupled with that cool guy museum...

It does have a certain allure doesn't it...

I like the South...Hmmm...

 

Charles, I will be at Barber, but with only one bike this year. The rd will be sitting out. I will be available for pilot duties, as long as you promise me to jet it rich.

 

Of course you do, and more reason to make the move right now is this RD400 that Matt is selling...you could ride it until your steering balls fell off, all winter, at Barber, Jennings, Talladaga, Roebling, and CMP...we got nice weather, lovely women, beer, grits, guns, and Jim Hinshaw.

 

Only one bike? Well, buy this one from Matt and then you'll have two, once to race and one to gaze at!

I dunno Rus, the rider i'm looking for needs fame, fortune, guts, ambition, maybe some championships under his belt, and certainly a sense of decorum. Is this you?

BUY MATT'S BIKE!!! STOP BEING TIGHT!

 

Have you ever actually seen, Jim? I thought he was subject to the Heisenberg Principle...I saw him briefly once on a grid, and then the one minute sign went sideways...

 

Jim doesn't hang around long when the start flag drops.
