I have been searching, probably in the wrong places, but would like get documentation on specs on the 1983 RZ350. Most print seems to be on the 1984 models.

I can't find "Top speed and Horsepower " in print .

Chime in if you have anything.
Thanks

Here's a link to an article in Cycle Canada.

Thanks... I had that magazine for years, threw out a stack about 10 years ago....go figure, I never thought I was going to retire, let alone start collecting bikes.
Briefly skimmed through the article on the RZ350.... I can see why I bought it.. Love the quote from Cycle Canada

[the quickest handling, hardest stopping, fastest, lightest, most powerful 350 street bike in the whole wide world]...

Caught up with Daryl today and I now have my own copy of Cycle Canada July 1983 addition which is in excellent condition.

He may be holding one for you as well rzrej.
