Anyone Out There Got A Road Legal 'stroker?

[SeizedBalt]

I have an RD400, i used to go everywhere on it, i have been to the isle of man on it... but then i got a TDM, and it sort of got pushed to the back of the garage.

Tomorrow it turns 40 years old, so i will apply for historic status, and get free road tax

 

Sounds like a reason to get back on it!

 

Are they quick?

A mate of mine had an RGV250 and a KR1S years ago, mental machines,...nothing...nothing...nothing,,,,WEHAAAAY...nothing.

 

He packed up riding after a bad accident some years ago, but can't bring himself to sell his properly batshit crazy CR500 supermoto.

 

Never ridden a 250.  Largest stroker I'd tried was my mate's NS150R big-bore.  That was pretty mad.  Lots more torque than my own NS125R. Although, I fitted an Allspeed race can to that, together with bigger jets and, my, what a difference!! 

 

Probably only about 20bhp and a far cry from the 33bhp you could wring out of a Cagiva or Aprilia, but still.  It was a leap from the "L"-plate asthamtic performance I'd had until then...

 

Those 250s did sound like a blast!
