Hmmmmmmm
I have a TA125, TR3, TZ350B, 2- TZ350Gs. along with 5 or 6 RD400s and a killer RZ.
What do I win?
Really cool bikes then, not much faster than a stock Ninja400 or R3 today.
except for the RZ... KillerATV Banshee motor and Gixxer suspension, it would eat a r3.
A TZ350G has about 70HP, and a 110 rear tire.
The LCs were the fastest of the street bikes and are the most collectable world wide.
Yamaha 2t street twins are selling for STUPID money right now. I'll sell you a TZ for what a good '84 RZ sells for today. That ridiculous. There's zillions of RDs and RZs out there, there was only ever a couple of thousand TZs each year.

Always looked forward to the December issue with the bad wrap column.

First street bike was a brand new white and blue RD 350 LC.
I think CC got a ringer from Yamaha Canada for their test tho.
