Wow, that's a nice one!

Are these appreciating or just holding their value?

I'd say they did appreciate a while back. Not so sure they still are.

Falls under "There's an ass for every seat category". If you don't like them, doesn't matter if it's free.

Nice but odd price.

Vintage Jap bikes took a big value hit with the last hit to the economy.

Until the cool factor for European and American bikes fades they will not carry much value.

My good friend has a number of them and parts.

...except for Hondas. Small hondas and CB750k0s, etc. are doing well.

You know you want it !

Nice, appears unmolested. Not up on current prices but I'd be thinkin' $1500- $1800.

Yeah that's more in line with what I would want to pay for old.

I sure know that I do! My RD350 was the same color orange too.

I would call that price optimistic, but not crazy. If it were warmer weather, I think that he would have a good chance of getting that asking price.

Having owned both, the RD400 was a less peaky than the 350, but still very quick. I won a lot of money street racing unsuspecting Vettes and muscle cars. Hard to beat in the 1/8th mile. Price would be fair if it was in top mechanical and cosmetic condition. A lot of smiles for 2k.

I had a 77 that I bought for $30. It came mostly in boxes. I ran dual car coils under the tank to keep from fouling plugs.

Good times!!!
