How many bikers in here and what do you ride?

Rehaan · 12th April 2004, 13:29

Absolutely Rtech,

Let me tell u its not worth more than even 60k IMO.
The owner is some guy who buys a new car every year typof guy..and i dont think his wife likes him riding the bike..and he hasnt touched it in ages.
When we checked it out last..ummm.june (2002).. we managed to talk to the owner ( who is only avail at night...busy guy) he told the mechanic to get it up and running and then we got to keep the bike for half a day ;-P

njoy,
Rehaan.

You kept it for half a day?? How was it?? Did it run good? What year was it?

Zubin showed me a nice Hurrican on Sat, but unfortunately it is a bit outa my budget. So the search goes on...!

Rehaan · 12th April 2004, 14:36

ummmmm.....well i guses my friend told the mechanic he was just going for a "test spin" and then decided he could keep it or some time... hahaha..thats just my guess...he is like that.
The engine was still outta tune...as i sayd earlier they are hard to tune (4carbs)

Bike is not in good condition at all so dont expect too much!!
Here is some fotoshopping i did of what we wld do if we bought it ;-P

PS - also have wiring diagrams if the need ever arises ;-]
have fun

Rtech · 12th April 2004, 14:44

nice stuff rehaan.

Will let you know for sure if I need those diagrams!

Lets see...if the bike is still there, and he's asking a reasonable prive for it, it would be a good project for sure!

keeping my fingers crossed...

The CB750 was the worlds first superbike. I've seen one in Bandra. Sounded cool.
I've never seen a GT350 triple but have heard that the GT350 was a nice competitor to the RD350 in its times. I've seen a Vanvan at Central Garage, mumbai cenral.
Hey adil, any pics of the GT350

?

Not GT350 ......GT750......2 stroke triple cylinder 750cc.....very fast...and dangerous........watercooled .......had one in England in 1979 ...... (was 17 then).........good fun.........sorry no photos

Used to ride a P180, now I ride a victor and a RD350HT. I love this bike too much.

Rock 'n' rollz · 7th April 2005, 17:55

Suzuki Fiero and not TVS Fiero

aggressive_anush · 7th April 2005, 18:00

Congrats on the bike Rtech.

As for me.. i have owned only one bike - An Enfield 500.
Almost bought and RD350 LT recently, but gave it back after a couple of weeks.
Also use my brother's Fiero quite a lot.

Rtech · 7th April 2005, 18:54

That is one immaculate HT you have there hooligan! Can't seem to take my eyes of it! I haven't seen an RD like that in Mumbai for years! All I see are junkmobiles sputtering around.

Though another member - 2L8ULOOSE has a nice RD with F2 double discs up front.

Anush, what made you give back the RD after a couple of weeks? And nice owner to take it back
