    Been out for a blast on my RD 250 LC today . Quiet nice to hear the Micron expansion chambers crackling with blue smoke Lol !!! . Have not started it for 18 months !
    Lots slower than the Blade but just as much fun !

    A Few LC Pics . We all need to ride these old bikes to realise how good our blades are ! My LC does not have much power untill 6 thousand revs then the power delivery is like a switch an goes a bit mad ! Good fun but you have to keep it in the powerband. Pretty crap brake too with its single piston sliding front caliper Lol !!

    Looks great.
    I had an X reg 250LC back in 1982.
    I would love to ride one again to to remember how it was.

    Will never sell my LC. Just go for a couple of rides a year an start it now an again . When I brought it It was in boxes in bits in 2006 , Restored it in 18 months . I used to have Bob Farnhan tuned LC,s. an power valves in the 1980s.

    I saw an RD 400 for sale over at gp performance next to the H cafe they want £4k for it, I can only see that price increasing.

    They also had an RG500 for sale £8995 and not even showroom condition
