Cool comparison of time, plus I see a GPz 900. :-)

yes the ol GPZ was a a good bike ,
i have had all sorts of bikes but that was a quick one.
my fave 4STROKE road bike was honda CX650TURBO ,
But i now have a 82 RD350LC that i restored which males me feel like the 17 year old Hooligan i was.

Nice LC !

I had a tricked up blue & white one too , back in the late 1980's....
Over here in the UK a good restored LC will set you back around £5000 ....or over $10,000 dollars!! :shock:

5,000 pounds ,thats a lot of money for an old 2 stroke.

Yes the value of them has shot through the roof ... I had a Stan Stephens stage 3 tune, power jet carbs & allspeed exhausts pipes on mine ...bike sounded lovely & went well too , I sold it for £950 then went out & bought a Suzuki RG 500 which didn't stay standard for long ...I paid £2700 for it in 1989/90 .. I traded it in , in 1991 against a brand new Suzuki RG 250 M...( first of the banana swing arm models ) .... A good RG 500 will change hands for....... are you sitting down....

£15000-£20000 !!!....

I wish I'd kept my old bikes as they'd be worth a small fortune now !

I notice that your LC has a different swing arm than the original tubular item?
Some people fit the top end off a Yamaha banshee ... You can port & bore them out with good results :supz:

I now have a 2006 kawasaki zrx 1200 r in Eddie Lawson lime green which again is tricked up ! .... My daily hack is a 2016 ninja 300 ( anniversary edition ) I have a few mods which has bumped the bhp up
To around 44 bhp ... These are a cracking little bike & reminds me so much of my old LC & RGV :grin:
