A friend of mine posted a couple of bikes on Craigslist today. The RD 400 is very nice. We road together 2- weeks ago, all day thru the mountains. It runs very well. I'll let you decide if the price is appropriate. I've been trying to get him to ride it to the Gap for 2-stroke week, but he is undecided. He does have another 2-stroke Suzuki that he may ride up on. Anyway, if anyone is interested and wants to know anything else about the bike, I will let you know what I can.

IMO.....Price seems about right if it's as good as it looks.....if has any pitting, fadding, need some work, then the price needs to come down accordingly.

really well tuned stock rd's with hot ignitions (fresh coils and plugs) and synthetic oils dont smoke much if at all when warmed up. I know, its weird but its true.
