485cc – 1984 Yamaha RZ350 Custom

In Custom, Japan, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

The last street-legal two-stroke sportbike officially imported into the US, the RZ350 is very much a sought-after collectors bike in the US. Only sold in the states from 84-85, these bikes were incredibly fast for 350cc, and absolutely look the part. As you can tell from the headline, this one’s been the recipient from quite a bit of custom work.

The seller calls this a “one of a kind restomod” thanks to the extensive work:
– 485cc engine with decked cases, stroked crank, 73mm Wiseco pistons, TPM cylinders, Cheetah power valves, VForce carbon fiber reeds, and 36mm Keihin flat slide carbs, Hinson clutch, TZ bottom end bearings, billet side covers, billet kick starter, billet water pump impeller, Suzuki RG500 aluminum radiator, and more. The seller claims “96 plus” horsepower!
– Yamaha R6 forks, Yamaha FZR600 swingarm, Worx Performance shock, custom chain guard, 17″ wheels, Brembo master cylinder, wave rotors, CRG levers
– AirTech fiberglass bodywork
– Sargent carbon weave seat

The seller says that there’s just 600 miles on the bike since it was built up like this and that it’s won two first place trophies:
1. Best Modified at the 2019 Two-Stroke Extravaganza
2. 1st Place at the 2024 OC Vintage Bike Show
