1977 Yamaha RD-400 - no reserve

This Bike is in nice condition. I bought it 3 years ago with a plan to do a complete ground up rebuild and I've done much of it.  However, too much time spent at work and a house with lots of work looks like I won't finish it for some time. Looks good with only some minor flaws (shown as well as I can). Stuff I've finished:

New Bridgestone tires

Powder coated frame

Almost all new all new rubber grommets including new seals on engine

New chain and sprockets

New oversize pistons and painted cylinders

New battery

I may be able to help deliver the bike based on location and timing- ask if you are interested.

The bike starts easily and runs very well. Everything works well except the 2 stroke oiling pump so I'm running premix and the rear brake master cylinder needs a rebuild. The pump is kinda hard to find but many people run premix and I haven't found any issues. The brake cylinder rebuild kit is $95 so, take that into account. Ready for daily use or and complete paint & freshening as I had planned- good luck

How to murder an HP2 Sport

Mon, 08 Oct 2012

Some bikes and cars should be left entirely stock; left unchanged from the way the factory intended them to be. In purchasing them you should understand that. I could produce a list of vehicles that should be taken off the owner if they modified them in any way but I'll save you the boredom.

An Island tour with a legend

Fri, 17 Sep 2010

What you are watching is a highlight of Mike Hailwood's segment from the racing documentary Take it to the Limit - A Motorcycle Odyssey. The Yamaha - built by the extraordinary Kel Carruthers - that Hailwood is riding in the clip featured a unique frame with the camera housed within. The voice-over recording provided by Hailwood was done by taping a small mic to the bottom of his lip so he could dictate his guide to the 37.73 mile route.
