DAMN.

 

Can't see the pictures here at work so I will have to wait until later today...

My first bike was a Yamaha RD400F Daytona Special. Bought it new off the dealer showroom floor. It was the Canadian or European model.

By far the most fun bike I have ever owned and there have been about 10 since then, including a '82 RD 350 (water cooled.)

What a wheelie machine the 400 was! Crack er open in first and she'd go right over if you weren't careful. Second gear and a gentle tug...I went with expansion chambers swept up to allow for more lean. The damn thing was so light and nimble. Kind of reminds me of the feeling I get in the S.

I had a brother in law who rode motorcross and the first ride I went on it was to where he was racing on the weekend. I never realized how special a bike it was until all the bikers came around to my camp site to see it. I wish I had held onto it.
The only problem I ever had with it was when the chain broke and swung up through the transmission. It was late at night and I spent about 2 hours with a flashlight walking up and down the street picking up parts.

 

I like the reversed cylinders.

Serious props for the home-fabbed parts.

 

Very cool! One of the classics that GOES.

 

Hey, tentman-

My two-stroke budddies really like your bike and would like more pics and info.

Please post up whatever you've got!!

Once again - very cool fab work!

 

damn 2 stroke street bike whaaaaaaaat.

do you have to premix or is there something on the bike you fill that mixes?

 

Hi

Sorry, had family problems so ive not been surfing much.

Anyway, yes i have to premix, got a babies bottle in a purpose built holder behind the front plastics.

Hope you like it.
