TJ's has a '89 RZ350 last time I was there. 30k kms, but the engine needs some TLC I remember. I think there was a problem with the YPVS. :dunno:
EDIT: Oh yeah, if you guys are after the RG500s, or the NS400R's, NSR250's (etc etc) look to import one from Japan. They are VERY common over there, and the chances of importing a mint one are astronomically higher then whats available to us in our local market.
Be careful on the NS400R's, though, the JDM ones are constricted down from 72hp to 59 hp, via a constricting block found in the exhaust port. There is lots of how-to's for how to remove the restrictor on them however.
Basically online after shipping you can get a RG/RZ500 for about $6k landed in MINT condition. Importing bikes has the same 15 year rule as do the JDM cars.
Yep I agree completely. I brought in an NC30 (VFR400) a few years back and it's a lovely little bike.
