When I got my license I got my first bike, a 1972 RD250. Loved that bike. A few years later in 1982 I purchased a very low mile 1979 RD400F Daytona Special. Although I've had many motorcycles since, from Yamaha's to Harleys and everything in between, that Daytona Special will always have a special place in my heart,
Thanks for the kind words. Seat is an Airtech Laguna unit using the stock tail light custom mounted. Tank is stock but the back has beed welded closed for a smooth look. Decals are custom.
nice bike.i had an LC250 (not the 350),which i had converted to dual shock at the rear.i just hated the mono rear end.so i aquired an ex works TZ250 dual shock frame,& stuck all the LC bits on it.made me happier and i sold the mono frame to an RD400 owner!
Totally agree matey. Stock pipes on a stock bike, but on yours that would look daft. Really nice looking bike by the way. Used to have an RD250C back in 77, and thinking of getting another. Not sure the garage has enough room, as got an XS850 sitting in there at the mo.
I've got an "issue" here. Do I like this engine's sound more than a Chrysler B or RB engine, more? Can we call it a tie? No, the 2 stroke twin, wins! B block engine (even though it made a LOT more power) is in second place. I can hold, in one hand, (if I don't remove the kick starter) the whole engine. Try that with a V8. Oh, this bike is looking right at a Mopar Dodge (Ram?) truck. "Nuff said! steve
a mi me gusta la moto el asiento me da igual el que sea. parece que todos estos ignorantes se fijan en el asiento. si la casa es bonita, que importa la tapa del bater. y digo bater como suena no watter ni ostias.

Stop telling lies lad
That is a thing of beauty. Not overdone. Absolutely crisp. Nice job.
long live the 2 strokes! i had a 77 also and, sold it in 1993! miss that bike very much..
The engine sounds perfect.
I like that colour too.
Sounds so freaking sweet. I miss my RD 350.
Such an aggressive, stunning styled motor cycle. Those air cooled RD's were simply awesome.
Nothing like the sound of the RD with a nice set of expansion chambers!
Nice to see an original hooligan bike again looks sweet!
VERY NICELY DONE, looks right, sounds right and keeps the mosquito's to a minimum

That bike is Sexy! Building a 79 RD 400 Daytona Special myself
Stop telling lies lad
Can we see it now? Any changes in 2 years? This has the best looking lines of any rd out there to me.
Nothing sounds like an RD...
@p2rider3426 Hi @lae2005's saying he likes the fact there's no seat - just how it should be...
super nice rd: what kind of tail section is that and where did you get it?
you need clip on's :), but good job
Australian one was all white and known as coffin tank
;)
Super nice man....what tail section is that? Looking for something very similar for my RD400👍🏻
Thanks. It's an Airtech unit, Vms7 I think
@@pincguy awesome...thanks man...just got myself a ‘76 RD....gonna go for a similar look to your bike👍🏻
where are your mirrors?
Stockers would look totally wrong on this bike, stock is for stock.
Name you price !
All it needs is a seat !!!!
I've got an "issue" here.
Do I like this engine's sound more than
a Chrysler B or RB engine, more?
Can we call it a tie?
No, the 2 stroke twin, wins! B block
engine (even though it made a LOT
more power) is in second place.
I can hold, in one hand, (if I don't
remove the kick starter) the whole
engine. Try that with a V8.

If you think that sounds good listen to my RZ500 with Toomey's on it.
Hate how you tottally destroyed the cushy seat for these ugliest and most horible thing that ruin any ride and tottally ruin bike's look.
I had a '77, with a similar seat, but there
was a compartment, behind it.
I had NO issues. But, I was MUCH younger.
