I had an RD350 for a long while, got it for $350 with 6000 original miles.
Probably the best all around bike I ever owned.
One thing to look out for is if your wife wants to ride around on the back
she's gonna end up smelling like burnt 2-stroke oil.

i too am a big fan of two strokes, i have a gt 250, a gt750, a h1, a
rd400, and a rd 400 daytona + a few more... nothing like 2 stroke power.
i really like the rd's - awesome handling ..most run with no battery,
and once setup are pretty indestructible. the plug fouling/piston holing
is really not an issue once they're setup properly..

Charlie, Bob - I'm a big Suzuki two-smoker fan, had quite a few two strokes over the years and they have a major advantage in simplicity for the over-the-road rider. No valves, pushrods, cams, cam chains, etc. No oil changes. The GT-750 is the best of the lot. I had a '73 and a '75, they were great bikes, smooth, powerful, I always enjoyed their power delivery. I used to get 1250 miles to a quart of injector oil. Most of my four-strokes burn more than that, and the Suzuki is DESIGNED to burn it. I just last week bought an almost-mint '76 Suzuki GT-500 two-stroke twin (the later version of the 'Titan') and have been having a good time buzzing around on it. Just like I remembered. Back in the day before the marketeers had convinced everyone that if you have a bike less than 1500 CC you're just a punk, people used to hang a Windjammer and bags on a GT-500 and hit the interstate for the opposite coast. The 750 will hold its own with any modern tourer....sort of like a loopframe!
