RSD “2 Stroke Attack“ RD400/TZ250

Roland has always wanted to jam a 2 stroke street motor into one of his race bikes. Thanks to Born Free 7, he got to make that happen! Powered by a 1974 vintage Yamaha RD 400 motor wedged into a 1997 TZ 250 chassis the bike promised to be interesting. Sourcing parts from the shelves of Team Roberts Grand Prix race bikes as well as Roland’s own stock pile of TZ 250 GP bits the machine’s racing heritage grew into a bike that balanced the custom world with that of GP racing. Fast, incredibly light and good handling the RDTZ is a blast from the past and a look into the future of what custom bikes can be. All fab and build were done by Roland and the team at RSD including Aaron Boss and Scotty Diminick. Check out for more information!
