It pains me to do it. But I really cannot afford to use the bike.

So it's your lucky day, folks! This is your chance to buy this TV star!

You put 300kms in a year?

A combination of being slack and broke.

It's a good life, being a student.

Not to wish you poor luck with the sale or anything... but if this is still for sale in a couple of months, I WANT IT.

Nice ad, Mr Piratejafa, Sir!

To date, the RD350 remains the only bike that I have ridden that I was shaking when I got off. The example I rode when I was 18 was - at the time - the fastest production RD in New Zealand. My mate thought it was funny to tell me that due to the oil injection pump being backed off, I had to keep the revs over 4000. Luckily I ignored him, but the thing still wheelied everywhere.

I'd love to test-ride this, but my wife'd probably lock me out of the house. In my house 1 bike is more'n enough; 7 would be "fuck off and don't come back!"

Shame you have to sell the beast.

I never did get to have a ride on it, or rather i never grew the balls to take it for a ride lol.

Having done the majority of the k's on this after Jafa took ownership i'd say it definitely lives up to the legacy. The powerband is simply insane, the sound awesome, the grin you're left with... priceless.
