Reviews of Yamaha RZ350

I think the RZ350 ranks up there in my all-time favorite bikes. It doesn't mean I want to own a bike that is on my list of favorites (doesn't mean I don't, either), but there is something alluring about this bike. I think it is that magical combination of it being two-stroke and being sold alongside other bikes that I recognize as "modern." I am not even middle-aged, so I was very young when this bike came out (too young to be aware of it), but so many 80s designs were continued into the 90s that I still identify with them. I have always said I wanted to own a two-stroke street bike, but have never thought to act on that impulse. I am not too keen on the upkeep older motorcycles require. No doubt I would jump at the opportunity to ride one, though. Zack did such a wonderful job, as he always does, in relaying the joy and emotion one gets from a motorcycle. It was great fun to watch this and I am glad to see him back at the "commute" videos. Bravo!
