History
I traded in my Suzuki Katana on this bike as I loved two strokes, the Yamaha RZ500 was a direct competitor to the Suzuki RG500, the Yamaha was slightly slower than the Suzuki but I loved the look of the Yamaha.
It was an amazing bike to ride and surprisingly comfortable for a out and out sport - road going race bike, I loved its sound and exhaust smell, particularly when running it on Castrol R two stroke racing oil mix.
