I actually did own a 1950's R5/something for the best part of 1989. Sold it to a guy in Stilfontein. I did not mention it on my list of most memorable bikes.

2Stroke Dan...what was the RD500LC?

...and the RD350B...assume the old aircooled one like the RD400 with the square cooling fins. My RD350LC YPVS was the best thing on 2 wheels I've ever owned.....

ps....have you seen that Kawa 500 'canyon racer' bike on that "Kneeslider" website...

Sorry, I meant the RZ500, which was in SA what the RD500LC was in Britain, and the Alloy framed RZV500R was in Japan.

I love the old H1 500 "specials"

I had a total of 4 RD350B aircooled bikes, sorry I sold them on. I am now rebuilding a RD350 31K YPVS [RZ350]
