fast!!! ![]() ![]() i might be missing something but it looks very similar to the little 125 i passed my cbt on!! now if you want a quick first bike, this was mine. i did my lessons and passed my test on it. had to go as it was just too easy to do 160mph! ![]() much better than that little commuter! ![]() dan |

hey dont under estimate these rd's , anyone that owned one will tell you they were the fastest thing off the mark in the 70's, theyd p!ss allova anythig up to 750cc, they lift on power in 1st gear, change to 2nd and itl bounce back up again, 105-110 top speed but you knew you were doing it! they still use em in old skool road racing, remember were taliking about a 1970's 400cc 2 stroke here, not a 90's 4stroke yeah?

Agreed. The bike looks stunning but fast ? Try a Fireblade or R1 they are fast. |
