It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
I'm not surprised Geoff they were built to last, those mudguards for example weighed a ton I swear. The previous owner had fitted fish-tailed pipes with minimal baffles so consequently it sounded as if it developed several hundred horsepower...Originally Posted by walpurgis

Somewhere around 15 bhp if I recall.

There's not much that you couldn't race on a tuned RD350!!! was it an LC? Welcome to the 2 stroke 'Power Cliff'...nutter machineThat is one sexy looking pair of wheels - a ‘proper’ motorbike in every sense!

I was confined to a CB250 at the time...probably for the best in the long run
My current beast is a Triumph Tiger 800XC, my neck, back and license have lead me to a less sporty vehicle (I used to own VFRs), very nice to cruise around on at legal speeds, and plenty of grunt for the occasional blart...and I've always wanted a Triumph...that works!

Always liked the look of the LC in both 250 and 350 guises but couldn't afford one, so I went out and bought a used KH250 to see what all the fuss was about in 2 stroke land. I loved the sound of that thing but it was going to kill me, so I wont back to 4 strokers and bought myself a Super (wet) Dream...Just the LC, Geoff - that was mad enough!!
