Description
Immaculate original RZ350 for sale, I purchased this bike late in 2015 From the original family that purchased the bike new back in 1985. I then undertook a complete strip, nut and bolt restore. Engine fully rebuilt with a new crank, rebore, new pistons and seals.
Chassis fully stripped, every bolt was either replaced with the Yamaha part or replated. New seals, bearings, brake rebuild, repaint and numerous NOS Yamaha parts.
The restoration has been meticulously documented in the following forum: https://rdlccrazy.proboards.com/thread/29211/1985-rz350-bike-rebuild or Google search D6LC RZ350
Since I rode the bike in 2016 for around 200 miles and then stored it. I got it out of storage this spring and recommissioned it and have put on around 100 miles on it.
The bike is immaculate and runs like new, this was a no expense restoration and I would argue its one of the best RZ350's available. A gem for anyone's collection
Detailed documented history included as well as the original exhausts.
