Hi Guys,

 

I saw this Caucasian looking guy the other day at UBI outside the number plate shop.

He was riding this beautifully restored RD500.

I was amazed that this bike still exist in Singapore especially in that condition.

It was in great shape. Not a spot of rust or a visible lump of misplaced grease.

He exited the shop, saw me admiring the bike. He gave me a warm smile and a wink and

rode off.

 

I kind of regret not speaking to him or asking him if he has intention to sell the bike.

 

Does anybody know him or has his contact number? Is he a friendly chap?

Any help/Information will be appreciated.

 

Thanks guys!

Hi there......

 

Sorry but are you sure it's the 500cc V4 Yamaha? I have been looking for one and was told that there are none left on the road. Someone somewhere is rumored to own a few of these and I would love to know how he came about to own so many. You sure it's not the 350cc? Was the bike red and white as the RD350's were similar in appearance.

 

Do you like this bike as well? Ever seen another one parked anywhere by any chance?

 

Cheers...........

Hi Swiftee,

 

Yeah i remember that issue...local mag think...But the bike looked better in real life man.

He seems friendly, would like to speak to him about the bike and how much he spent on restoration. Any chance you got his contact number? Do you noe if he has any other bikes like that? i was looking for a Z-1 awhile ago but kinda gave up wen i was told by a friend that there are less than a handful in Singapore and would cost quite a bit.

 

Hope to see him around again maybe i can chat him up and hopefully he is receptive.

 

Thanks again mate

Hi, Im dead sure it is the RD500. I have had a liking for that bike for years.It was red white with V4 decal on the side. 4 exhaust pipes. 2 of which under the seat....the bike sounded beautiful...the pipes looked brand new and sounded like the real deal. i only saw one years ago in ahboy owned by a malay chap. But it was sadly leaking all over.

 

Looks like i got a rd 500 fan friend now...not many ppl i noe worshipped that bike. I had a Walter Wolf years ago and loved that baby....the sound power ets...but unfortunately when i bought the bike, the last owner had renewed the COE for 5 years...so that baby went to scrap....i was sooooo sad.

 

 

What bike are you riding now?

Nothing yet, but I like the older bikes. Was thinking of getting the RD500 myself as a project bike, but this appears to be impossible. So I thought I would go for the first model RD350 Tong......no power valve type as I prefer this one. All around are either overpriced or need a lot of work. Parts for this bike are costly as well. I will stick to public transport for the time being...... what about you man? What's your ride?

I'm driving now mate but you noe the saying,one a biker alwas a biker and my hands has been itching...but like u,im not going to buy just any bike.It must be the "right" one...i saw a tong(or was it rd350?) for sale at lavender the shop next to menerva..yellow in color.maybe u can try thr...Recently, i saw a bunch of tongs at the Yishun Dam..(3 or 4)....brought back memories mate...

I can understand the thing about parts...it will be a ***** to obtain.

i regreat throwing away all my tong parts a few years ago....i had complete parts to build a bke - minus the frame and engine component that had the serial number of course. again it was a bike i had to scrap becos of COE issues caused by previos owners.

Spares for the RD500LC locally? No chance I guess. Must order if you want the parts but that will be very costly for sure. If I can get the bike, ( ha ha ) would be good to find someone with friends in Japan who may be able to help me out. For now, no contacts of that nature at all. So sad.........
