Default We can dream.

In todays Enviromentally friendly politically corrected day of today, i guess a V4 500cc is out of the question. Shame, that iconic 500cc shape with some subtle modern touches.

10,000 mile? Probably optimistic.

bearing in mind its a gas guzzler. original Rd500 tank 24 litres...which would be gone in 120 miles down to reserve, ridiculous. In a straight line it was absolutely blisteringly fast, fast heavy bike with no engine breaking, so no good down hill, rather pleasant round corners

still nice in this pic, still not convinced..lol
