What sad fucks we are in this pussy day & age where we have to get 2 stroke kicks on Youtube.
My mate is building one (for the last 10 years) with the braced frame modern front & rear end & wheels, Nikons & a million kilos lost (pretty easy, everything on them was made heavy to calm the bike down. I'm just waiting till he is almost finished & then needs some money.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Only problem with the RZ500 was the RG500

Sure, the RG on the whole was a better bike but for looks and sound, IMO the RZ has it.

Erm, my RG500 had a real clatter to the sound (similar to the racebikes) caused mainly by the disc valves, which gave me the horn back in the '80's . As for looks the RG with its seat cowling was simply gorgeous. Still, I'd have loved an RZ500 sitting next to it though!Originally Posted by nudemetalz

I agree with you Dave but the real sad thing will be the day 2 strokes are gone from GP's,when they go the two stroke will be dead.Yamaha and Suzuki were built on two strokes and now they seem hell bent on turning there backs on there own tradition and history.They would rather sell overweight and overtechnologolised 4 strokes to a gullible public that have never experienced a true power band.The real sad fucks are the ones who will never get to ride them.In this day and age of engine management systems & fuel and oil injection technology they could make two strokes as clean burning as diesels...if they wanted to.I grew up on a diet of RD's & RG's and now totally miss watching true close racing as witnessed in 250 proddies in the 80/90,s.Pity the poor saps who are shelling out obsene amounts of money to be competitive in todays so called racing classes.There,rant over.Im going out to the garage to work on my 350 LC,I need something to calm me down.

Not for me it wasn't. My RZ had been worked over quite heavily and was around 50% up over standard hp. Good old Robert Taylor, technical manager of Yamaha NZ at the time had supplied my mechanic factory plans for doubling their hp. Had the porting and headwork done, just hadn't got as far as fitting TZ carbs and making the expansion chambers.Only problem with the RZ500 was the RG500

Heh, I'm doing the same with some guys Cheetah project
The only people I know that had both, and rode them together regularly, reckoned they were both as fun as each other.
You'll be pleased to know that that documentation is still about, and people are still building motors to that spec, it's called the TSI

sigh. Going through the depression stages, though I have made some accords with myself to go buy some hotter plugs at lunch, refit the other ignition. Ride before last was getting there.Heh, I'm doing the same with some guys Cheetah project
for a bit of hope for a 2 stroke, open your wallet:
one last bastion of development
