Wait a second, what have you done with John? That looks more like a shed find than a barn find.

It won't qualify as a 'Barn Find' until we know the price paid!

It's all gone. No more RZ350s and no more RZ350 parts. I am officially out of the 350 game.

No, I didn't need the money. It's just time to move on. Been there, done that.

I already own 2 RZ500s.

Lol...I told the new owner you'd say that.

Everyone that has seen those Microns has tried to buy them. The new owner knows what they are and they are in safe hands. :smt003

My RZ500 was close to the WORST bike I ever owned.
