Im just in the process of moving onto a RZ350 its a 31k , had it on the track last week for the first time, needs a bit of getting used to .
Ive been wading through here for some ideas , 70hp with not too much drama would be good !!

Welcome to the forum, just what we need, another crazy Aussie :smt003

Tell us a little more about your bike if you would.

Thanks
Pete

Hi Peter, I gotta put you straight, Im from a bit further downunder, New Zealand.
More about the bike, its an RD350 4L0, engine is mostly stock +1.5 Wisecos raised the exhaust 1mm , bit of tidying up around the base of the transfers, shock is a Hagon, wheels are Honda VTR250, they allowed me to keep the drum rear , the front kinda matches the rear but Im not 100% sure what model. These wheels allow me to run 17" 125 size slicks .

The forks are 85 RZ with Racetech emulators an the seat is TZ250H. It has a Zeeltronic ignition.
Its not the last word in power, but handles great , well I think it does , my friend rode it last week and said it was like having to constantly fight with a pit bull, but then he rides a big motard.

Heres the RZ, I borrowed a few bits from the LC to get it on the track, onwards and upward

Thanks for the info Yow (from New Zealand). :smt003

You have a couple of pretty cool looking track toys there. Do you race a vintage series there? After a couple rides around you will discover some of the rz350s weaknesses but don't worry. Me and the rest of the guys here can help out if you need it. :smt023
