1977 RD400... 72 hp, 288 lb... A genuine rocket. Street legal road racer. Not for beginners. Circa 1979.

1969 BSA... Excellent for beginners.. Lots of torque, very benign handling. Circa June 1971.

My wife and and our MG Midget, circa 1983.

Godzuki... 225 hp Aerio SX. Suzuki Techno Sport suspension, wheels and brakes. Fun, fast, good handling commuter ride. Sold in 2008.

  Wide,


   I'm curious what was done to the RD to make 72 hp?   The weight is about right but the stock RD made 34 hp at 7800 rpm IIRC,even the waterjackets only made 38 hp.

   I rode several RD's back when I had a friend who competed with the RD's after he quit riding for Kawi,he said the bighorns were faster but the RD's could make better lap times.  They were stockbox bikes and you could only add a chamber,all internals must remain stock.  Oh and IIRC they limited the carb sizes also,been awhile....

  So I'm curious what was done to make that much power!
