I generally like my Daytona. Really not concerned with " what it's worth" though. The only time it pissed me off was when I walked in the shed to find it laying on top of my RD350/DS7. Put a hole in the RD's tank 😭
Anyone have a spare RD400 tank?

Never understood the whole "low vin" thing. Maybe numbers 1-100 but did they make the low numbered ones with better quality!

i agree on these prices kind of way high on ebay  i guess , but if you are selling a bike it good, if you have a nice bike and someone wants to pay crazy money thats ok,  the 1978 are rare i guess ,i wonder how well they sold , i never liked the long seat cowl ,  i remember going into cahills yamaha in tampa ( 1978) and they had alot of them and dude says they arnt moving to well ,new model in 1979 gonna be nicer,  i like my daytona ,i guess for $1799 you might have to do a crank and calipers one day ,  you cant complain about the looks

I agree. You can't complain about the looks of the Daytona and yours is a looker for sure.
Nice job. You have all the right pieces.  :celebrate:

SUPERTUNE

Did someone say DOC?

Yes, Bryans is really nice Daytona with all the right mods to run way better than stock.
And he rides it a lot...lives a full life and pisses off the neighbors even with new packing in the MOTO CARRERA cans!
