I just love this bike, thinking of crating it up and sending it back to N.Ireland.

I do ride it a lot, but it's worth twice as much over there and I'd rather ride it there on the same roads I did in my youth.

400cc RD two stroke I remember them being very peaky with a narrow band of power. Mind you with a lump like me on something that would feel like a suppository is never going to produce a land speed record 😂😂😂

The earlier model RD350 was more peaky and narrower power band. But the 400 is a completely different bike but I would love to own an R5.

RD350 and my first GT750 were identical, side by side 0-160kph.
