2 strokes!

My brother just got an RZ350 except it's yellow/black with the Spec II fairing and Toomeys so now I'm jealous of both him and you. The next clean one I find for sale is going to be mine. He also just restored a Geneva Green RD400.

The Kawi is crazy nice! Scary quick bikes. I got on the RZ and at 6k it feels like it might lift off, like fly or something. lol. Gotta have some respect for those bikes. Very impressed!

Love the 2 strokes. Nothing like them. The RZ was really fun. It ended up giving me serious carpal tunnel issues due to the very low clip ons and the vibration. I sold it, when I should have installed different bars and grips. It was very quick and actually more exciting to ride than its much quicker cousin, the V-Max I also pictured. There is serious pucker when you dive into a corner with no engine braking, then lift the front on the way out when the bike hits the pipe. From 6 to 9 grand it was hold on tight and shift as fast as you could.

The Kwacker has been a project. I have only ridden it once. It has been so hot and I have been so busy that I have not had enough time to get it totally sorted. It is like a rattlesnake though....very quick and it will bite you.

The mighty H2. This one has chambers, obviously...no engine mods that I can tell, aside from pods. It is quite vociferous.
