As you wheelie off into the distance, you'll decide once again that speed limits are for others: that any machine [rd350] that can can go so fast so quickly and in such perfect safety is worthy of any minor hassling. - Cycle Canada, Apr.81 You're likely to find that every time you head off to the corner store you'll spend three hours tearing around the hills, giggling to yourself all the while as you gobble up 750s and 1000s that are foolish enough to get in your way. - Cycle Canada, Apr.81 I still wish I had an RD. Nothing on earth will do sky shots or stop or respond like it will. The performance buy of all time. - Larry Tate, Cycle Canada, Sept.82 One of the pleasures of owning a 1981 or 1982 RD350 was knowing that your bike had the power and handling to make riders of much larger bikes look silly. The little 350 pounded out 47 hp and gobbled up corners like a race bike. Its light weight allowed it to dance around most 550s and 750s. It was, simply, the ultimate joy machine for the self-confessed street squirrel. Well that was last year... The 1983 RZ350 is a bona fide race bike that just happens to be legal for road riding. Claimed horsepower has been increased from last year's 47 at 8500 rpm to a whopping 55 at 9000 rpm. That's right - 55hp from a 350. - Cycle Canada, July 83 **** The quotations are all from the same Canadian magazine because the poor ole USofA had to do without until last year. - Ken Dykes (rd350b, rz350k) Software Development Group, U. of Waterloo Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
