"Uncovered pictures will be sent to the winning bidder."

and...uncovered pictures sent to winning bid....of cardboard and cockroach carcasses..
That ain't a blind date..that's more like a .."warden sir, i did not see the person who put the splintered broomstick in my ass " date

Current bid is $14.5K and that's for a stock bike.

Neal's much improved RD400 should than be worth close to $20K

and remember this thing is the lowly AMERICAN model, not the mighty race winning CANADIAN RD400.

$21,000

What am I missing here?
It doesn't even come with valves!

The RD400 is a nice bike, probably the best of the middle weight air cooled 2 strokes (it is also the latest one so this shouldn't be a surprise)
According to one of my old magazines it came ahead of the KH400 and the GT380 but not by that much.
The bike isn't that rare and there is nothing that special about it. $21K - go figure.

Yam air cooled twins rule... (mine are a little more affordable though).

If I bought this bike I would take off the lights and mirrors and RACE it :twisted:
