edit: Possibly for sale!
good enough for the Guggenheim museum I swear! ONLY 4,715 original miles, pristine maybe the BEST in the country with these low miles, with sensible mods. like it came out of a time warp circa 1984! still has safety sticker on front fork, working manual rear shock adjuster, working autoluber, perfect saddle, all stock lights, reflectors and signals, telefix brace, bigger mikuni carbs and more. kickstarts, idles and runs perfectly!
A SCORE!

Hey Max, did you buy that or are you just pulling our chains? Man, I LOVE those!! Two friends had them in high school. Did you see the R3 pics posted here a couple months ago?

Wow, what a great find -- you're going to be strutting around with that Proud Papa look for a while. The only two-stroker I ever owned was a Honda Elite 50, my first motorized two-wheeled conveyance. Never thought I'd miss it till I saw one parked in West Portal yesterday and got all misty-eyed looking at it. :cry :shhh :teeth

cool thanks all! ninja_ryder I may be seeing you guys in the future, lots of good referrals about Scuderia and 2 strokes. the engine has some work & cleanup done by RC Engineering. very mild tune but that = very streetable. I'm a shrimp so that helps too :p

Kenny SR. came into my old place of employment here in Modesto . I noticed him even with his baseball hat, I commented "the king" and kenny said "man you must be old" I had recently removed all but one poster from my stall, It was a centerfold of the king banked over on the old spped block tz .
You could manage to see the steely gaze through his visor.
He lost his self in this poster for bout 5 seconds or so.
The caption r4ead "the time or place doesn't matter this is kenny roberts"
I showed kenny some of my old rz race bikes (7 or 8) and told him I still have one. He said he still has a couple out the ranch.
