Bought last year from a very nice gentleman on this very list..........
Super nice. Do you ride it a lot?
Not as much as I should - my target is once a week minimum, and I hit that about half the time. Maybe 30-80 miles per trip typically.
Yes, it is sweet. I have wanted one of these since they came out - I turned 14 in 1975 - and to finally have one is a blast. I giggle like an idiot every time I ride it.
Thanks for asking.
Odd but the guy at the dealership in Waco back in '84 tried to talk me out of the RZ, he said "Why do you want this bike? There are better options". He kept showing me other bikes and going on and on blah blah. I said "Nope, that's it".I always wanted a Yamaha Daytona Special RD400F but a mechanic at the dealership talked me out of buying it. Boy was I stupid.

In a nutshell; light weight, easy maintenance and twice the horsepower.Is anyone willing to take a moment to explain what it was that made these peaky oil burning ring-a-dings so dang fun to ride? Can you put it into words?

Very nice. Is she yellow or red(RZ)???
She will be yellow if I can ever get my painter to finish it! He's had it since December so it should be a good job
I knew I needed a ground up rebuild so told him I wan't in a rush ......big mistake.
