They were sensitive to squared off rear tires for sure but if you kept on top of tire maintenance and put some more realistic gearing on it them they weren't too bad to live with.
I have an old Cycle Canada with an interview of him, about his bike, which was sitting in the middle of his house
Quite the "custom" paint job. He used to ride with Michelle Duff. She rode a clapped out FZ600 and he on his "art bike" RZ.
It was from Michelle and her FZ600 at Paris that I stole her idea of the cut tennis ball and sponge. I've had one on every bike since.
Most new bikes will probably win on the track. Stiffer frame and better suspension give you higher cornering speed, four stroke gives you more controllable power and drive out of the turns. Rz is cool but would be annihilated.
Agreed, I don’t think it would even be close.
The question is how far ahead the 400's would be. With a good rider, I wouldnt be surprised if the 300s came close.
No one raced the rz500 because the expansion cambers hit the ground when turning and they were slow compared to the RG. There is no 400 now that would even be close to an RG 500 however. Unless there was no staights.lol Bias ply tires back then .
