God this brings back memories, not because I had this crazy contraption, but because back in the late 90s, I brought a roller Banshee and found an RZ350 engine to fit in it(better than the no power valve stock 350 twin), had it bored, stroked crank, 521cc's, widened A's and axles, and ran Hoosier flat track tires on it....god that quad turned out nasty, would literally smoke 3 gears on the streets with ease.... fastest "off-road" bike i ever owned or built, way faster than my old, built CR500R even with the weight disadvantage 😅
I love it when the owner actually took the time to do it himself. He's there just chatting away and you can tell he sweated every single detail on that bike to get it just right. Top bloke and the results speak for themselves. It sounds and looks awesome. Proper machine.
Nice build brings back memories . Unfortunately Ive only got 2 photos but 45 years ago I bought in a closing down sale for £80 TZ350G Barrels, pistons, rings, carbs, head, exhausts. I put them on a RD350 bottom end with home build water pump, radiator, clutch, box section mono shocked rear swing arm and modified frame with full TZ bodywork n fairing, seat and tank in bright yellow with black Kenny Roberts block work. It ran Castrol R was 70 HP. A TZ with a kick-start! It kicked up and even ticked over! Was faster than Kawasaki 900 and at at time there were no water cooled 2 stroke twins with mono shock on the road, this was unique and pre LC years. MOT was a little difficult, Id put additional temporary baffle cans on the spannies hoping the guy would be OK but he says " is this a TZ? Come on get them daft cans off lets here it" ..........it passed!
WOW that wonderful RD sound brings tears to my old eyes. My favorite bike of all time was and still is my then-new bright orange 1975 RD350. My older brother had a 1974 RD350 and talked me into going the 2-stroke route and so glad he did. I still remember it had 40Hp @315 lbs, a fantastic power-to-weight ratio. Today I ride a 2014 Ninja 300 SE. It's smooth and dependable but heavy at 379 lbs and IIRC 34Hp. Yep, sure miss my RD!
My father raced a custom built 2stroke in a champion flatrack frame in the early 80's. Love the two strokes. Especially when they share the track with 4strokes.
I have a Ducati 748 with a very tired engine. For a while now I have regularly dreamt and lightly planned how to install a two stroke engine in the chassis. A 350 twin would be great but a triple like an H2 would truly be amazing. Stellar video guys and amazing work by the bike owners and builders!
Fantastic machine. I'm currently building my own Frankenstein machine.. A 1980 zundapp ks50-529 model which will be married with a Yamaha rd200 engine. The engine hangs inside the Fram now, but has to be rebuild (waiting for parts). And it needs some extra rigidity. Hope to go from the original 2,5 HP to something between 25 and 35... On a 80 kg moped...
Shame I never had one of those big bore kits on my F2 from 89 to 93, and I might have got better times & speeds than my GT380 did. The mutant is a Cafe style work of art ! Great video
@@vicscustommotorcycles it was worth every minute spent building it then. Cannot put a price on opening the garage door and smiling when you see what you've built.
there are so many hot parts for that motor because it came in the banshee but no powervalve. rz350 frame is no up to our modern handling expectations so its cool to see conversions.
Yessss! Sounds VERY healthy. ...and revs quite a bit higher than my old RD 350 did. Of course we're talking almost 50 years difference in technology and between air cooling and water-cooling.😄 I'd love to give 'er a rip!😃👍
Stroken, the more you have the more u want to Chuck in it,lmao. He's right,try to make it better. Awesome build. Rode dunes with built it490. Built a Red Baron in 88 only had 2 days snow,Good Friday, Saturday. Smoked a new cat ,with 2 people, it ain't strong if you don't need the weight.
A popular swap is the Yamaprilia. Its the RZ350 (usually punched out to be MUCH bigger) in a modern Aprilia RS250 frame. I'd build one if I had the time and funds..

The sound sends tingles down my spine, especially when it first starts . Pure excitement .
Thanks for watching Nick

I too love creating my own stile of modifications and improvement in bikes
It comes into power really smoothly by the sound of it.
Two stroke content is best bike content.
The crispy sounds coming from a banshee hearth at stationary rpm. Best 2-stroke ever made in my opinion
Unique, hats off to the guy. I miss my 2 stroke years, I was lucky to own a few (RD350 N2 YPVS, NS400R and a TDR 250)
My father raced a custom built 2stroke in a champion flatrack frame in the early 80's. Love the two strokes. Especially when they share the track with 4strokes.
the rd 350 is a great bike ! the rd400 aircooled was a legend as well. never seen an mz scorp though
kinda funny that MZ 660 went in a production ATV and the RZ 350 also went in a production ATV

I have an extra RZ motor!
If you fitted an H2 engine you could call the bike a Kawaducat.
@@nightjaronthegateor a Ducazaki...
An rg500 engine I reckon.
@@ats-3693 Kawaducat sounds like cowardy cat.
Grew up on 2 strokes still sends a tinge down my spine
Outstanding build. I especially like the centrifugal clutch behind a transparent cover.
Thank you very much!
Any two stroker l love rode them in the 1970s and loved every minute of riding and any water cooled two stroke so much better more like this please
Fantastic machine.

Great video
What a lovely build. Awesome engine for us old boys 💪💯🔥
Thanks for watching. The Yamaha 2 stroke twin is a sweet engine for this type of bike
I had a 350RD in the 90s. That Engine is so crazy.
Ypvs
You gotta love a machine that blurs your vision as it's coming on the pipes. This bike could be hard to beat on a tight twisted road.
great to hear motor with no wind noise awesome job
I'd say 200 hours is time well spent. Well done!
the coolest looking and sounding bike ever
I love it.
Vic has come up so a truly unique creation. Love the way it looks.
Cheers...it took a lot of work and head scratching....I know its not everyone's cup of tea but I love it
@@vicscustommotorcycles it was worth every minute spent building it then.

That is fantastic , the sort of thing I would dream of building , if only! The fit and finish look first rate . I bet it is fun to ride .
Thanks for watching Dave
Two-stroke ❤❤❤❤❤❤
it sure is, we had to make a film with it as soon as we saw (and heard) it :)
Such a beautiful build, and I’m sure is a blast to ride.
In my opinion the only thing missing was drone footage.
That looks awesome.
That tuned RD350 motor sounds crisp. I bet that powerband is fun. Its putting out similar power to an RG500 but I bet it handles better.
there are so many hot parts for that motor because it came in the banshee but no powervalve. rz350 frame is no up to our modern handling expectations so its cool to see conversions.
90hp 100kg that's pretty sick, 🏍🏍

Beautiful. 100 hp 100kg 2 stroke, nothings better, surely
Awesome Motorcycle I love the way those two stroke sound👍👍👍
Always something different. That's why I love this channel
Thanks for tuning in :)
great new direction for the channel max theres so many strange and wonderfull shed builds out there for the road
Yep ,I'm in. Subscribed
I think that is a very tasty bike indeed !!
That bike is absolutely inspiring and gorgeous!
Couldn't agree more, Thanks for watching
Proud to say that’s my dad 😃x
Couldn’t understand a word that dude said but what an Amazing bike! Such a clean build and it’s a 2 stroke🤘🏼
That’s a nice looking bike, thanks Max for bringing this to us . Keep up the Good work
Thanks, will do!
Sounds fantastic vic! All your hand work always pays off mate. Stunning 😍 John Floyd 😃👍👍
Cheers John....another excellent engine build mate
Damn, that's a cool bike! TH-cam shadowbans about 1/5 of all comments.
Much much love to the bike and builder 🔆🔆🔆
Very nice and the sound
Is it road legal? Looks & sounds amazing.
Day light use only mot....that's the rules in the UK...only a horn needed, like your going to hear it above the exhausts..lol
Nice video Max, the bike is a real head turner , and sounds great powering along.
I love it when someone put is that much time and effort into their ride (particularly when its a 2 stroke ). Thanks for watching Kevin
@@999lazer that's why we all love you're videos Max, the commitment and love of MX you and you're team deliver week after week.
Ahhh the saund of a twin 2 stroke, it rdmainds me of a Jawa twinsport
Love 2 strokes 💯 beautiful machine
What an awesome and clean Lightweight RingaDinger. Great vid as usual
Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks for taking a look:)
Awesome machine, a true streetfighter. 👍🍻👍😎
That’ll wake up the neighbors! Very impressive!
Nice crispy sounding pipes 👊
Perfect ESG sounding pipes

Another Epic 2st video Max , love it the one offs are always better..
Thanks Patrick, glad you enjoyed it

Couldn't agree more! it is a work of art
Another amazing vídeo max 🇵🇹🤙👍
Great sounding bike and great build
Thanks for watching
Carnt beat the sound of a two stroke, on full chat , 😁👍
I can almost smell that smoke.
Bring it to Tonfannau race track
Love to but a bit too far
Sick bike… but I couldn’t decipher a word of what Poppop was saying..😂😂
Cheeky fu##...pop pop lol
That's a beautiful bike. 😃👍
That machine looks utterly mental. Do ya suppose he'd let me take it for a quick spin? 🥺
I had the pleasure of owning two strokes in the 70,s and 80,s
Sounds so good👍
nice disain 💣💥
Amazing Vic!
Brooooooo amazing
That is magnificent!!
Remember the 660xtengined Scorpian Yamaha MZ V rare sold a few in Exmoutv rd Rafferty Newmans , now Flats ( obviously 🙄)
Nice bike
Thanks ✌️
that bike is hawt^^
2 stroke ❤
Nice bike😊
Amazing.
That’s an awesome bike!
Thanks for watching. It sounds even better in real life:)
@@999lazer I can imagine!
Two stroke ❤❤❤❤
Looks like a norton
What Norton....I wanted a cafe racer style bike that did not have a four stroke engine and a brown seat
Quality matey 👍🏻
Thanks for watching Tess
2 stroke smoke smells good LOL
A popular swap is the Yamaprilia.
Its the RZ350 (usually punched out to be MUCH bigger) in a modern Aprilia RS250 frame.
I'd build one if I had the time and funds..
yes I bet that would be a nice machine,
@@999lazer It would be an absolute monster with over 200hp..
Even nicer swap is the Mark Dent RS500 (Gamma engine, RS chassis)
😎🇺🇲👍
Tyga out of Thailand told me it was impossible to put a RG500 in my 93 Honda NSR MC21 chassis.
Nothing is impossible if you push hard enough.😈
If you have a welder and a grinder anything can fit
Looks mean and sounds fast!
Thanks for watching
Lucky git!!!
Wow killer bike
That's a beauty
She's a real head turner that's for sur, thanks for watching bud :-)
Another quality video...cheers..made me look slim lol
Wow.. Geng Tutiii ni.. #TzmMalaysia

❤SUPER INGENIERIA,UNA BALA...GRACIAS. SALUDOS.❤
COOL.
damn hank schraders brother seems really cool
Lol.....been called a lot worse
wow !
God I miss my 2 stroke
💪💪💪💪 Larga vida al 2T!!
I don't see any lights or mirror's on there, are you guys able to get bikes like that road legal in UK? really cool bike though 👍
At the minute we are not 100% nanny state.
You can run with a day light mot (government test for road vehicles).
It has to have a horn though...lol
Ahhhhhh two stroke.😊
