Already beaten to the punch, Another Yambretta 350

#1 Post by Scorcher » Wed Mar 13, 2013 5:42 pm

This poor project started as a restored RZ 350, and within a week, my buddy crashed it(1991) :smt021 . I couldnt afford to replace all that sheet metal and plastic, I was 21 at the time and chasing girls. So I decided to put the engine in a Lambretta, a much better bike at attracting girls. The bike is green was a respray after the below picture in 1998 :smt007

This was the way the bike was first built, and this pic was taken at Portland International Raceway on Ducati Day in 1997.

The bike is now in a bunch of pieces in the garage, but after finding this forum I am motivated to paint it again and put it back together.....also looking for a complete RZ350 to ride now and promise to not cut it up. :smt003

Glad to have found this board.

Great to have you on here Jason, the scooter looks great and should be rebuilt! And of course you should get another full RZ to ride as well, common mechanicals and parts saves money in the garage! haha.
