Nice RD350 two stroke project in Chicago area if anyone is interested:

77 YAMAHA RD 400/350 CUSTOM MONO SHOCK, GSX-R for sale on 2040-motos

late 90s moto guzzi made some stunningly good looking bikes.

'03 in this case.
It seemed to be a bit underpowered, sounded like a million bucks. pretty comfortable on the open road.

A funny thing happened on the way to the painter.....I dropped the tank and seatpan off at my buddy's shop for him to clearcoat. He liked my paint job until he started prepping it! He said he had an idea...I told him ok but keep it clean. He wanted to use a new BMW color with the color scheme and this is what I got....VERY HAPPY!!! Exhaust is coming together. Hopefully frame & swingarm in paint next week and spokes come in.

The 02 to 04 Le Mans was a variant of the V11 which I believe came out in 2000. The original V11 (non le mans ) was more of a naked or cafe bike. I have always loved the Le Mans... Great looking bike... I have never had the chance to ride one. They made a few different higher performance variants both naked and with le mans type fairings. The higher performance ones had full ohlins and some nice bits.

Looks great! Can't wait to see it on the road!

How much and are all the bits, there?

$1100 and all the bits are there except the front wheel, left fairing, clip-ons. oil cooler and stator cover. Its a project so you need to be able to turn wrenches PM me if you are serioushttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1449613357.jpg

Looks great! And that engine should sound great, through those pipes.

The orange reminds me of a colour used on the R1200S, or perhaps Porsche's "Tangerine".

That girl needs a cheeseburger. That bike looks to be still on the stand. I doubt she is strong enough to even balance it! I do dig the Docs - those were awesome - before they started making them in China ...

Hey Motion have you ever shipped a bike before ? The bike in the link you posted is scratching me where I itch !!! Back in the day I had a Yamaha DS7 250 and a RD400 and I always wanted to build a Kenny Roberts replica bike. I can't tell if the link you posted is current there's no date anywhere ?

Dude, sorry, just saw this. I get bikes shipped from all over the country. I was using a guy from Ohio who was picking up campers in Montana, so it was convenient for him to come up here. He's no longer doing that gig, so I use my friend Tim Weig at motoshippers.com now. Very reasonable.

No idea on that RD400. Have you heard back from them?

Sunday morning mockup before sandblast and paint....hopefully by Tuesday!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1450621994.jpg

I emailed the guy twice with no response. It does say local pick up only so he prolly just blew me off. Too bad cause I would have liked that rig.
