      The second one (same bike) was clicked in early 1990's, you can see the yellow circled portion which is a home-made Resonator i made using an empty aluminum perfume can,drilled a hole fixed a rubber tube, drilled another hole on the in-let manifold and connected them and glued them with araldite.

      BTW the kid (my cousin's son) sitting on my bike now completed his B-Tech !!
      These are those fond memories that always bring a smile when ever we see them.

      RX's just have that magic which I dont have words to describe. Though they smoke, shout, give 30kmpl and all nags....but still, Its lovable.

      I am in search for RD350 which is in good condition. Some one PM me if they know about it.

                          Indeed its on a higher side but not too much. hmm how can i compare the price... a liter of petrol is around Rs 8 in those days . do the math yourself.

                          A Brand new RX-100 in 1987 when i took delivery is at Rs.16000/ ex showroom in AP. BTW the RX was launched in 1986.
