I'm thinking of the idea of buying a buddy's '82 RD 350 and restoring it. It has nostalgic value to me as this was the bike I learned to ride on ( not exact bike...mine was a blue & white 1981). Just wondering if I should go ahead with this project. I only want to spend $2,500 - $3,000. Is this a reasonable budget? The bike is complete but will need a thorough engine rebuild, calliper rebuild or new ones. The gas tank has a couple of small dents in it and I want to use it and fix it. The bike has some really trick drop bars and he has a set of Alex Mayes hand built pipes for it. Can anybody who has been done this road before shed some light on this subject. I would like to think that 2 strokes wil have some enduring value. Thoughts, comments, opinions....
