All nice looking bikes and all take me back to my hooligan days. My problem was I could never keep anything in standard trim.
That Suzuki looks sweet and those RD's don't look to shabby either. Here's a few pics of some RD's that I butchered in my youth.
Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad

Loving the strokers...I've bought another blast from the past, though this one wants work. Deffo a jeans and trainers bike... It was a new personal best as regards buying a doer upper..pdq...got home sat night on me fz1 from visiting my kids and grand kids and sat down with a cup of tea to read me practical " sports bikes".. In just under an hour I'd seen a bike, downed me tea sharpish, back on the fazer, flew over to the old fellers house ( he's 70, has retired from riding because the one time he got this out of the shed this year he fell over with it, lovely feller, hope I can ride to that age at the very least..) stopping only at wroxham to get 200 quid outta the speed bank for a deposit and bought the bike...
Nearly didn't, it's quite the shitter, but once it fired up it sounded just like Jim gooses mfp bike ( for the children here that's a very, very old film about an Aussie chap called max.. ) and it hadta be done...
Though on my limited budget it looks like it would make far more sense to spend as little as possible, take stuff Orf it, and end up with summat like this...
Love the blue RD400...that was my dream bike in 1976. I liked all the triple engine suzis and kwaks, way out of my price league back then. Then they got killed off just when I could afford them... :\
