What Year RZ?

[Milan]

From 1987 and after the RZ350 was made in Brazil.

Anyone have any thoughts as to the build quality of these bikes.

These were mainly in Europe, so discussion may be limited.

One to think about from that site:

"  Then the RD 350 R twin headlight were sold in UK from '92 to '95, in Spain,Italy & UK. The European models had Restricted exhaust (with restrictions washers in the exhaust downpipes) with different carb setting  on carburettors with power-jets. I read in WHAT BIKE MAGAZINE from January 95 : "Cynics say the restriction's there in the first place because the worn out seconhand tooling the brazilians use can't turn out engine parts with tight enough tolerances to produce peak power reliably ".

for the brazilian market ones, that may or may not be true. is what it is. the canadian ones, later ones, were for sure the same build quality throughout from the ones ive seen 1st hand.
