RG 500 up for grabs

[Yamma]

E-bay listed RG 500 for those who may be looking to add to their collection or invest in classic bikes.

Mmm,tempting......

Abit o/t,anyone got any RD250/350 LC parts or complete bike?
Also looking for RZ250/350 parts or complete bike......

[Yamma]

Yes actually I have all that you wish for...
LC race bike with several engines and top ends,
Couple rz's with several motors in both 250 & 350
and a very interesting TDR with the TZR 250cc engine,
one of the first genuine factory Super Motard bikes
and it is in perfect condition and a real hoot to ride...
All of the above will be sold off over the coming months
and no I don't know how much for...
The 'market' will set the price but if you interested in something in particular, then I will help you, as others have helped me...
The Rg500 is of course the pick and while it is cheaper than any run or the mill Modern bike, it will continue to grow in value at a similar rate as the others decline... ie: rapidly
They just don't make 4 cylinder 2 stroke 500cc race replicas like they used too... or even at all.

I'd be interested in seeing pictures of these bikes, especially the TZR/TDR thing and the RG 500. I have a TZ 250 racing motor in a go-kart and I'd be interested to see if the engine in the road going version is the same.

Google Yamaha TDR... There is a big World Wide following
The RG500 is on e-bay and all over the net as one of the most desirable bikes of all time.
Yammie TZ motor is not a road going motor to my understanding.
the TZR are a watercooled twin for road bikes.

Excuse my newbie simplicity,
but I wonder why I am tagged as 'non validated' and as being a 'non contributor' since this thread is being posted by me,
a validated member making a contribution to the interest
and in the interest of the forum...
did I miss something.

Hi mate I think you need something like 10 post to be validated

[APCLB]

Google Yamaha TDR... .

I do remember these bikes,not very many around to begin with in Aus.
Would be good to see some pic's,pm them to me & I'll post em up.
Also very interested in an RD or RZ!!!
Hope your not the guy I sold all my bikes/parts to years ago? :)

[Yamma]

Hang on I remember you...
your the guy from shitney about 35 or so with an old ute, you sold me all them parts that time... small world.

Photos of TDR and another classic...
Honda RS 250... multi valve single, twin exhaust, factory modified XT motor in Cafe Racer frame, alloy rims etc..

Great town bikes both, 2 stroke & 4 stroke...
posted today sometime...

Hi there,

Just wondering if you still have that Yamaha TDR250 for sale?
If not how did you get hold or it in the first place?
Was it able to be road registered?
I would also be interested in a complete RZ350 motor if you have any left.

Thanks,
Philipd.
