The 850 was a huge heavy lardy thing. We never got the custom version
in the UK, only the pure roadster. I rather liked it, because the
engine was so good. Comfy seat as well. As you say, it didn't corner
too well, but it was a lovely tourer. Good ones are quite sought-after
here.

The relatively narrow 16XMT2.75 rear wheel limits you to a bias-ply
tire.
Dunlop recommends their 130/90-16 67H GT-501, but the rear rim is
marginally narrow, probably making the tire "crown" a little in the
center, IOW, you might not be able to lean the motorcycle far enough
without going off the edge.
"L"-model motorcycles have an inherent problem with front-rear tire
mismatches, anyway, the front tire has to struggle to cope with
stabilizing the motorcycle while the 16-inch rear tire is continuously
veering off to the right or left.
A friend of mine tried to race a GS450L that he got cheaply. It scared
him so badly, he quit road racing.

I don't doubt it. The silly 454LTD I have could easily outperform it,
and it is a cruiser. Scary fast at times, however. Not sure how you
can make a bike that is so comfortable yet so fast and agile. I just
wish I liked the way it looked. I feel like a poser biker riding it.
The XS400 I am building should handle fairly well I hope, although it
also has the mismatched tires. It is lowered about 2.5 inches, and
stripped of everything non-essential. Just got the carbs back
together, so tomorrow hopefully I will have good news.
I really love the 850 though. Even with it's problems, I can't help
it. Sounds like a sewing machine (literally), is a bit of a buffalo.
Valve adjustments are a pain, and I used to lose the shifter sometimes
(bent retaining bolt, took me by surprise. Try getting from a dead
stop back into traffic stuck in 5th gear). Really should have come
with a 6 speed. I really wanted a GT750, but this was what I could get
down in south Georgia. On the highway, like you say, at about 70, it
is a smooth riding machine. The only thing I hate about it is
emergency stops. Very unpredictable. If the rear wheel locks, watch
out. You never know where it is going.
I am thinking about an RD400 or a GT550, any suggestions? I can't
afford an H1 or H2. I really want a 2 stroke race bike. I grew up
riding dirt smokers and would love to have a street bike. My KDX200
would be great, except I can't get it tagged. No title or MSO.

If I want to get seriously nervous, it's cheaper to chew guarana

But the ultimate Japanese two strokes are the Yamaha and Suzuki square
fours,
as I recall they were the RV500 and the RG500. I rode both of them and
realized that ownership would require a serious commitment that I was
unwilling to make.
The RD400 Daytona Special was a very nice final version of the air
cooled Yamaha twins that evolved from the earliest copy of a German
design. I had a 1961 YDS1 and a bastard YDS3 that I assembled in 1967
from various parts obtained from $tealer$hips and $alvage yards.
All of those old Yamahas and the R5 and the RD series that evolved
from them were too small for a person of average size. Even the
Daytona Special felt small to me.
And the water-cooled versions like the LC and the RZ350 were still
small and don't seem to be capable of extended high speed operation at
high RPM on open roads, if Bob Nixon's experience proves anything.
I only remember about two riders that had GT550's with the ram air
cooled heads. The GT750 was a much better long distance road machine,
it liked to run at 90 mph all day, and surged and bucked if I tried to
go slower.
I had lots of confidence in the GT750 chassis, after I installed
bronze swing arm bushings and after market shocks and lighter springs
on the back. I used to go squirreling around on mountain roads with
the RD350 guys.
The short wheelbase made the RD350's prone to wheelstanding when they
came on the power and they would also drag their solid footpeg bar
that ran under the engine, so those guys would cobble up their own
footpegs or install aftermarket rearsets.
But the GT750 was always wearing out tires, brake shoes and chains,
and always needed to have the ignition points cleaned and re-set. I
got tired of all the nit-picking maintenance after a few years

Well, if you don't have to ride very far, and you do most of your
riding on back roads,
an RD400 will probably work just fine.
There are also grey market 2-strokes like Aprilias with Suzuki 250
motors and Honda triples. I think the triples were NS250's.
If you can find somebody who have gotten an Aprilia registered for the
street in any state, it might be worth considering, even if it does
cost $5K.
Some local riders bought the grey market two strokes to ride on the
Angeles Crest Hwy above Pasadena. The 2-strokes are so thirsty, they
can barely make it 25 miles up to the roadhouse at Newcombs Ranch,
then they have to go back down the hill to buy gasoline.
But the short wheelbase 2-strokes don't need to lean so far over to go
through a turn, so they can go around the curves very easily.

A guy from Britain told me that the RD350's caused a change in the UK
graduated licensing laws because because newly-licensed teenagers could
immediately outdrag most cars if they had one of those bikes.
Apparently before they came out, the authorities equated displacement
with speed. Is this true?
I got a kick out of taking apart an old Suzuki (IIRC) 500cc engine that
had two crankshafts. You could see how it was actually two of their
250cc two-stoke engines put together. Maybe somebody here can remember
the model (I think the nickname for the smaller one was Gamma) but
apparently both are quite prized now.

apparently both are quite prized now.
