Yeah, man, RD350, the original pocket rocket. My best friend had one and we traded out all the time. I wanted a first year '69 H1 500-3 so bad I could taste it, those three pipes sticking out the back, the odd uneven look just sent me to space. Then the hard pop at idle with chambers, primary whine and the piston slap tingle noise............I was in mechanical heaven.
I love the 2 strokes for their simplicity, no need for all that cam, bigger valve, bigger piston bullsh-t to hop them up. The major hopup tool there a high speed grinder and then a set of silenced expansion chambers. That 400 I built was a 7000 rpm motor OEM, when done with the grinder motor ran 10,000 rpm and made power all the way up to that. I got really good at porting 2 strokes and did a bunch of them back then.
