Kaplan cycles is the best!

I had the exact same back then..such a rocket, my saddle was also purple..nostalgia!!

Why NOT keep it for the museum? It is cooler and rarer than lots of other bikes and sentimental for some people. Electric start… same years as first Harley electric on Electra glide!

How much?

I owned a 1984 Yamaha Maxim-X which was basically a Virago which had a FZR 750 5 valve Genesis motor bolted into it at the factory. Was a real sleeper and would do a 11 second 1/4 mile stock. I made a few bucks racing guys with 1200 BMW's - it wasn't even close - left them in the dirt :)

Yamaha virago 535 or honda shadow vt600?

Looking at getting my first bike and found one that is in great shape. It’s a 1984 650cc, clean title and 16k miles for $1k. Standard bikes are starting to grow on me. Really debating on picking this one up!

i have this exact bike in the same color, but in a bit nicer condition sitting in the garage. its a pretty bike in person. i ride it all the time

How tall is the rider??

I have a street legal 400r in the uk its only done 3800kms its nearly as immaculate as this one but i use it properly for enduros and green laning 💪

Please stop stamping on the gear leaver, roll it forward and gently push into gear. Nice bikes, do love the videos.

It is missing the factory installed chrome front and rear turn indicators.

I freaking love the Suzuki RM's, as well as this RMX. My favorite Suzuki RM's were from the 80's and 90's. Christie did a phenominal job on the graphics, as Always. My first 2 stroke mx dirtbike was a 1983 Suzuki RM 125 that was mint condition. I loved this bike. Bought it in 1991 for $800, from the original owner, very well cared for and documented. Suzuki makes great street and dirt bikes. Awesome Video! ML&R.

needs to grow up

Sweet ! My oldest brother had a similar scooter a 1959 red one . Unfortunately he lost his life in Vietnam may 6th 1969 . ☮️❤️

Im going to investigate the Metal Rescue

Perfect BEAUTY in appearance, sound and engine! Really love it😊

To me the very best, the most heartbeating harley - thank you so much for the video and engaged informations👍👍🤩🤩

I bought a brand new RZ 350 in 1983. Paid 3695.00 for it... just in case you wonder how much inflation is

I've owned two, and just bought one with 1800 original miles!

RZ rust spot on gastank. When you have water inside gastank, and bike leans on kickstand. Water collects against inside of tank, and rusts inside out. Dangers of water in gas supply.

Not original fender

Love them RD/RZ/Banshee beasts!

Ha,ha what a riot. Doesn't wanna sell it but if he has too it's 6k. Goes on to say he may need to sell it depending on what kinda deal they can strike for the other bikes because he basically needs to clean out the garage. Kaplan interprets all that as ok so we'll make you an offer. Me the potential customer already knows the bike is overpriced at 6k and I sure as hell know Kaplan will sell this bike for no less than 9k once he's done with it and it will even more overpriced. Jeesh those poor smucks who sit on stuff for too long and then oh sheet time to let it go lets call Kappy....

You should call that bike funny money! It is funny looking it's like a mini roadkind police bike. Definitely goofy looking!

I brought a new SL 350 Honda in 1973 I only paid 798 dollars for it back then I was only 18 years old then

Swweet!

I have one I am getting ready to restore 1975 24k actual miles on it. Any recomendations?

A friend and I restored his 1985 Honda XL250R. When I was a senior in high school I bought a brand new 1987 Honda XL250R, best bike I had.

I just bought 1 of these, although it's an '83. Have to see what I think of it after I get it home!!!

Great hearing the details on the jetting and set up

Love those early Hondas, designed and built with so much love.

New tires Commando 2 Michelins. Low shock pressure and she handles great, no swing-arm flex and again no rotten rubber a true find.

Man, this bike arrived and started first crack. All the rubber on this bike was supple and from performing my due diligence before opening her up every bit of rubber is still soft. I installed better bulbs in the dash and that's it. Once I knocked off the residue from sitting around for months, she up and pulls with a vengeance. Thanks to a short riding season back east, you can count on the east coast to be a trove of these well loved machines. In California we ride year round and bike are abused. I wouldn't buy a bike from California unless it was very, very low miles.

😢😢😢

Puedo Aser una pregunta ❔❔

Tengo una igual del 81, no ha sido encendida desde hace 10 años, quisiera restaurarla y escuchar su motor

Had an 84 Fastest 500 on road.2nd gear wheelies with passager

Martin Brian Miller Michael Thomas Carol

Как же далеко Рашке до Запада .. Лет на 300 отстали.. И похоже не догнать никогда

I knew some guys that used to race around the neighborhood on these things back in the 60s. My Harley Davidson topper was faster.😂

Anderson Cynthia Gonzalez Sandra Martinez Joseph

702 Jacinto Isle

Gorgeous. I had one as a kid, red 1977, been through the wars but all original. Sweet little bike and I still miss it 🇬🇧

I didn’t know sling blade ripped some 2 strokes lol!🫠

the ultimate torque monster mines is in scotland now but was imported from california so spotless

So is it Cummins or Detroit? You mentioned both

We always called them pushmans

What is that gun for?

sweet I used to have a poster of this bike in my room along with many others back in 83.
