The Yamaha RD400 ad brought back memories of my 2nd bike. Still a fan of the two-stroke twins of that era. Wound mine up to what the speedometer said was 100 mph once. Handled great, sounded tough, great for short highway trips, and the perfect around-town bike.
Not a highway cruiser, though - threw a rod on an aborted trip to Iowa in 1988. Got as far west as Madison, holed a piston, and milked it back to Milwaukee on one cylinder, but seized it up before I got completely home. I still miss it.
Thanks for the link, JH!
