Yeah, mine was just a hillbilly hot rod. It would have gone a lot faster, but I didn't get the timing sorted out until I went road racing with that engine. The best I ever did was like 11.95 at 110, but I had the timing way more advanced that I should have and it just killed the top end. It should have run mid to low 11s but, Oh well.
So who is your buddy? Maybe I know the name.
I guess the fastest RD I ever saw run was Tom Turner out of CA. It seems like he was putting his in the low 10s or high 9s at 140+ back then. Pretty awesome runs for a little twin.

thanks :dthumb:

yea i drag my bike, although i only call it my racebike to set it apart from my daily ride. only difference from when i rode it on the street everyday is its a lil lower. still registered, street tire, no wheelie bars, nothing special, its a streetbike. i wanna run my 750(all stock, cept for a slip on), but i havent had a chance yet, maybe in march.

its a hi 9sec bike-i think i can get the 750 in the mid 10's, but idk

was92v, very cool pic dude! [thumbsup] I knew it had to be an RD. I had no idea that those things were that popular. I have been told that the same engine was used in the Banshee quad. ??? I had a built Banshee a few years back that would have done well on something like that, I guess. It sure as hell didn't do so good here in the woods trying to ride with these suckers on their 4 stroke hay haulers. :D

Thanks. I thought the bike looked better without the home made body on it. I'll have to dig out some pics and scan them. My RD350s were the 73-75' air cooled engines.

The banshee used the water cooled RZ350 engine. I imagine a built (or stock for that matter) RZ350 motored anything would be a handful in the woods. BUT, when the trees thinned out you could wave bye-bye to the 4 strokes, IF you could take a hand off the bars while it was roosting thru the power band...:rockwoot:

Oh dude, I made a brand new Rincon 500 look sooooooooo stupid on the highway one day with the 'shee that he went and traded it a few weeks later. :D :D I don't know the extent of what was done to that 'shee before I got it but it was damn fast. Almost too fast to be ridden for fun. :D

PO said it had been bored with flat tops, Weisco Hot Rods, some type of porting on the jug, race cut tranny and I can't for the life of me remember what kind of exhaust it had on it but it sounded uber kewl. It had +2 front arms, +4 rear axle and rode like a cadi in the woods but I just couldn't ride it fast enough to keep her cool. It would get hot and start pinging on me unless I could wind it out for a while. I knew better than to try to ride it where I was, but it was priceless watching those guys behind me looking for cover when I would start slinging rocks at them. :D

Very cool.

My buddy's name is Mark Boulduke (sp?). The 11.08 was his best bracket run, but I'm pretty sure he pulled a low 10 when doing an exhibition run on nitro but I can't confirm that w/o asking him. Don't think he ever broke into the 9's.
