Since I've gotten into PTWs I've wanted an old Yamaha RD or Honda CB. Ideally, it would be a 350cc, but jeez, can you beat this? http://batonrouge.craigslist.org/mcy/1352420759.html I probably won't go for it (money is tight), but its tempting me.

Ahhh.. where have the years gone, I was a young guy in the seventies and owned several bikes during that time period. IMO the seventies had the greatest selection of well made nicely performing smaller displacement motorcycles from both europe and japan, much better selection then today, I think part of the reason scooters are so popular today is because small motorcycles are hard to come by and generally limited to dual sports.

Yep, they're good and www.usa2strokers.com is a very heavily RD/RZ site.
