Re: Biggest POS
At one time I thought I wanted a TDR. That one makes me want one less.

Re: Biggest POS
An affordable rz500, at least you have one. great pictures.
Also always wanted a TDR as well. last one I saw up for sell was at windbell.ca grey bike imports in North Van. went for a ton of cash.
Still reckon pulling a POS out of the ashes and doing your best is better than buying someone elses franken bike.

Re: Biggest POS
I had to post my POS here as well. Out in the weather for many years and the pipes filled with water. Needed a torch, block of hard wood, big hammer, 2 cans of liquid wrench and 3 days to crack her open. Transmission is just like new though, go figure!!!
