Shopping around

The last thing I need is another shitty old motorcycle.

That said, a few years ago I decided I was done fucking around and was ready for the final boss bike.

It's crazy what you can find when you start asking around.

Hate to admit but I'm jealous. You found a absolute treasure(s). These are the best ones you can lay hands on, nothing more pleasure than hitting 7k and you feel getting launched. I semi-restored one few years ago and that was fun. Be prepared to spend quite a handful for the parts are expensive.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Jim, are we to understand that you've found THREE RG500s and that at least two are Walter Wolf spec??

Haha, this guy has five RG's!  They are all 400's, but the one pictured without bodywork has 500 cylinders.

These three are all genuine Walter Wolf's, with all the bodywork and WW spec keys.

I believe the two others "in storage" are standard models, not WW. One of them may be a 500.

Still working on the details. 🤓

I bit the bullet a number of years ago, as I also made a decision to finally go big, or give up on owning a 4cyl stroker. Although my RZV was very clean and original.... It was a serious money pit. Glad to say I did it, but I'll never be interested in another 4cyl stroker again. Definitely out of my system.
Good luck on the trip...Hope it's not a long one, and you are happy at the final destination you create

Thanks, I have mixed feelings about the whole thing.

I can (kinda) afford it, but I know it's just to do it, and a total waste of money. I barely ride around town anymore, and if I'm headed out of town, or out of state, I'm not gonna choose an RG.

I'd probably end up flipping it after I clean it up and ride it a bit. I just don't have any more room for shit I don't use.
