Yamaha RD400 Daytona

[Fastfearnie88]

I finished restoring a 1980 RD 400 and had it painted as a Daytona (1979). 100% stock except for bars & wiseco pistons. A fine example of this classic. I will bring to Mosposrt for any prospective buyers to view. It is currently dry ( no fluids) for possible overseas sale. I am asking $3800. Thanks for looking. Colin

Lost 10 bikes.... no coverage... ARRGGG.

[tleighbell]

that is a real shame, feel your pain. I have a spare RS motor and set of wheels if you want to start rebuilding. Anyone else?

The RS & the RD race bike were still in the trailer, they are OK....

well that much is good to hear Colin.. glad to know that you'll be able to be out racing again next year...

I was very shocked to have read that you had lost 10 bikes..completely devastating situation to happen to any of the die-hard bike enthusiasts our club members are..I treasure every bike I own as I'm sure you do, so to have that happen is very saddening.

take care,
Scott

Thanks for the kind thoughts Scott. We will get going again but as all my RD spares & projects are gone I may start fresh with (gasp) a 4 stroke CB350...
