A mate of mine had a 1100 kat back in the early 90's, it was 100% original and maintained that way regardless of cost. We swapped bikes one day (I had an rg500 at the time) as mat...

Re: RD350LC Guru needed

My cravings for a smokin stoker have never subsided in 30 years so i know the urge is strong. I agree with pookie and sparki, be very sure of what you are buying. It will be almost certain that the bike would have been "modified" in the past 30 years. Perhaps it would be better to buy a uk bike wher...

Re: Pop up article discussion

Ive not got a scanner/printer, i dont have any need of one !

Re: Pop up article discussion

Ive kept an old motorcycle international mag from december 1985 because of my fondness of the rg500. Inside there is an article called the the forgotten 750s, one of witch is the 750 pop up.

Re: Pop up frame and engine numbers.

I did not know for sure if the engine and frame numbers where supposed to match, thats why i asked. Thankfully the numbers on my bike match the log books. As far as i can remember both of my rg500s had matching engine and frame numbers. Suzuki's from that era appear to have a different system for th...
