Every month [url= http://www.classicmechanics.com/ ]Classic Motorcycle Mechanics[/url] have a retro reboot feature where great bikes from the past are re-invented as they might look today. The last few months we've had an RD500LC, RG500 and a CBX and although this month's reboot is a ZZR-800, next months is this:

Expansion chambers, kickstart, killer front end, subtle back end
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Shame it'll never be made

Just change the headlight for something rounder and that would be sweet as a nut.
How us the 500, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease...
It's all right eh?
I would lose the mirrors and maybe fit some smaller indicators but otherwise that's my dream bike
Unovlo +1
On closer inspection the swing arm and pipes look a bit haphazard
Two stroke with a kick start drool drool
The 500 was in the January edition http://www.classicmagazines.co.uk/issue/View/issue/CMM201401/january-2014.
Similar sort of thing but with modern bodywork and yellow/black speedblocks
Not doing it for me, 70's frame, 90's suzuki RGV swingarm, morden forks, gladius headlamp, bit of a dogs dinner.
Surely a re-designed rd350 would be a 2T twin in a narrowed/lightened R6 chassis?
I'd have the bars a bit lower.
and the rear peg mounting plate needs to be black.
Can only find a small image of the 500

I used to love LC's.
Stupid, stupid little things, how did we ever survive? 🙂
They were the most mental things ever! The sound of one on full tilt (which they all were, all the time) through a pair of Allspeeds. Brill!!!! 😀
And its the wrong colour. Gotta be candy blue.
Black and Yellow like Kennys 😛
And so crashable too. 🙂
You could change a pair of forks in half an hour with a bit of practice.
30 quid Kiwi lid, jeans, trainers and a leather jacket.
No gloves, no indicators, new pistons every month, rear tyre down to the canvas, chips in Blackpool, isn't it?

Yep, I had one with the standard pearlescent paint when everyone elses' was a white/black.
Still needs a fairing though.
I had the YPVS. After a couple of 250LCs. I loved it. I kind of like the makeover but think I'd rahter remember it as it was. And I'm sure if I ever rode one again, It'd be disappointing/potentially terrifying!

I was binned off the back of one of these back in 1987. My mate decided to race a 944 from a red light (Chapel St. Salford)without telling me.
He revved high, dumped the clutch and up went the front end and I was dumped unceremoniously off the back. How embarrassed I was.
Mental bikes.
