SORRY ITS NOT A WACKER...BUT I JUST COULDNT HELP BUT BUY IT
Its Just Yummo....and the paint job is wrong but its genuine..
so its going to look like this . next picture....later in the year..

looks to be nice condition

don't take it personal - but in my opinion (for what it's worth ) the RD500 lines just don't seem to flow - always look like a bitza

i'm sure the motors nice though

a mate of mine had one years ago..luverly motor but handled chuffing awfull...............i regularly whooped his arse on my N2 thru the twisty stuff and then he'd nail me on the straights..............

Never ridden one.
They were not as good as we all hoped, but hey what a classic icon !
Room in my garage for that.

The Picture makes it look crap..
fat arsed..and out of proportion

I know what ya mean thou..
But it an icon..V4 500...and afew members have them
here...

Too me... I LIKE>>

Waki did you buy this off a fella who ownes a motorbike shop near Reading?

Came from a Classic Bike dealer..in Kent..

Previous Owner was a Lady from Bristol..
who had for Years...

I Love it...and its a WELCOME ADITION TO
THE STROKER FAMILY.....

Another beauty for the collection then Mr Waki
I think thats the best colour for it,rd's in marlboro racing colours where always drooled over more than standard by me
Those and the rg 500 have got to be about the most iconic collecters bikes about(price also backs this up),rather rapid as well i expect .
Nice to see two pefect partners getting togeather
Whats the word for those who have more than one wife?
Reacon your lass must get jealous waki
To me,your a slag,havin all those stunners wanting a ride
One bike man me yer know
When are you next showing some bikes Gary?

Its more like....
Uhhhh....what ya got that for..
cant ride um all at once..
And its meant that i have a lockup now..
a secure place where i store..the others..
Cos the Garage got crowded...
so out of sight out of mind...
and besides...when you have 3 kids...
I NEED A HOBBY.....
wish i had an ole slag to ride me too...
wishful thinkin.... why is it when ya married
have kids an all ...you start fancing everything
2oyrs younger than ya serlf...
well i do anyway..being forty something..

Thats interesting Waki, the shop I mentioned also brought the same model/colour bike off a woman who had owned one for years? Will pop in to see if he still has it. I know he had part of the engine stripped down when I last saw it.

Atleast it came with a bill of sale
all its old receipts previous keepers
handbook...history..
And a Full Mot and previous ones...
and runs well...and is in super nick...
So if it was or was the was ,,the was...
Then its now registered to me...and
is Fine an Dandy...
so if it was in bits..then he made a perfect of
of putting back to creation..
AND BESIDES <<< IN A MONTHS
TIME<>>>>IT WILL BACK IN BITS..
THIS TIME HAVING ITS ORRIBLE PAINT JOB DONE
RIGHT...not that there is nothing wrong with it
its is fact perfect..
But for MOI>>>>>> IT AINT RIGHT

Looks good... I want a 500 What sort of money is a rough/ok/good rd500 roughly these days ? and is it more desireable/expensive than a rg 500 ?

Waki found out a bit about this bike! pm me your no & i'll give you a ring

Vector..there fetching very good money..
rough ones fetch good money...
mint ones fetch anything from £5k to £7
average £3> on

But the parts are terrible to find...
Main Dealer.....is "NLA"..
so if you go for one..make sure its a good one..
spares that are good are rare...
Odd really...as you can still get most parts
new for the 250/350LC...
some of yPVS stuff is the same but not much...
Its an experience...But its a 500....

Here's what my RD500LC ended up looking like, many moons ago.

At some point, I've owned every LC made.

125LC
250LC
350LC
500LC

I wish I still had them all....
