Looking at the ad while not cheap as for the asking price it does seems more affordable than some of the other rz's I've seen for sale online as of the past several months. Even at 10.5k RZ350's have kinda passed the pinnacle of interest for me and been that way for a long time. Well just saying they're becoming more collector bike than daily rider and I always had a more sincere interest in the older two strokes anyways. Having said all that it doesn't hurt to look.

Yeah I was curious about the parts unavailable line. Is that the power valve the seller is referring too? Just doing a quick scan on my local facebook marketplace search I don't see anything rz350 but I do see a ton of banshee's. I know the banshee community goes from mild to wild with engine builds. Not sure how streetable a heavily modded banshee is but they do claim some big power numbers. Always wondered how banshee motors would do in bike configuration and naturally they seem a perfect fit in a rz350? I dunno but it seems interesting.

Banshee top end bought off Amazon for $100? ... made from the finest monkey metal.

The components to rebuild the power valves are available. Norbo in the UK offers kits. 10.5 K is a bit much in my opinion for that bike.

Seller might mean that you can no longer buy OEM cylinders .
Luckily the chinesium banshee top ends are east to spot. Just like the RD350 ones, they are not worth any time or effort.

I have a Banshee based motor with 421 Driveline top end and RZ trans in my 73 RD. It gets hot in traffic, but is still easy enough to ride around town. Its loud though.
I dont think anything bigger motor wise will be very stop and go traffic friendly though.
