    Classic Hits

    One day I would like to add a classic to the garage....
    There are some good buys around, not in the position to do anything about at the moment, but if I were, these are three I would choose from. Probably end up with the 750. Ah fuck, win lotto and get all three....

    Three legends there. The Yamaha is a minter. I remember when those came out. They were the shizz.

    Surely it's worth at least twice that.

    Could own all three for $15K +
    There were two RD's on TM for a while, I saw one in those colours on the back of a trailer up this way a few months ago.

    Perhaps it's fortunate that one doesn't have a gargre...

    I am a daily surfer of the "Classic and Vintage" part of tardme. That RD has been for sale for a year... started at $6k+

    it seems very few have got the money now to plunk down on this sort of stuff. Theres an RD400F on there at present too. And a couple of 750 F1's

    and someone paid $5k for a 750F2 a week or so ago, which I thought was super cheap.

    That's still prolly more than it cost new? I think my CB500 was $1750, but it was a long time ago...

    I do miss the old T500, it was a '73 model. First modern bike after my BSA B31. Faster than a Ferrari at the time for the quarter.

    Back in '97 I had a really tidy XS750 Special. Loved it but it was using oil and I didn't realise it until I seized it! Bike cost me $1800 and a new crank was going to be $2,200.00! I sold it for parts to a guy down below New Plymouth around the coast a bit. He got it running, or rather built one out of two and sent me pics of it.
