That RD is amazing, I crashed one of those in 1987, it looked exactly like the one you have. Lovelly bike and really bloody fast. Sounded great too with twin Microns. I'd love another. How much do you want for it?

ROB1980

Thanks, the RD isn't for sale at the min, it's only had 3 owners, guy I bought it off owned it 12 years and I've had it 4 years, 10600 miles, matching frame/engine numbers, 2 original Yamaha keys that fit all locks, all original except for braided brake hoses and a few nuts and bolts, not been restored so not a show winner in anyway but for a 26 year old bike than gets used it's above average.

Shame, let me know if you ever decide to sell it. Love the crackle of those pipes.

If you like the sound of an RD350 then watch this

Nice stuff, though I'm sure someone is bound to tut.

It's not me in the video, just a video i came across by chance, not saying riding like that is a good idea

after flicking through photobucket,i came across some pics of my old zx10r c2h.the bike was tottaly wild and tried to kill me every time i went for a ride lol.so in the end i had to get rid
but apart from being scary it was a beutifull bike,and used to get loads of attention.






also heres a few pics of my dads bikes.


mv agusta,sounded awesome at full chat


and heres a pic of his ducati 851 tri-colour(quite a rare duke)magnesium wheels,exhausts etc.and parked next to it is the ducati 916 carl fogarty replica(genuine rep)and i have to say this is the best bike i have ever riden(riden a fair few aswell)it may not be as quick as todays bikes,but it just felt awesome to ride(almost as if the bike was made for me)and you cant beat the sound of a v-twin.


he got this after selling the foggy rep,as it was a bit more useable.it was a 996bp,that had been taken to sps spec,nearly bought it of him when i sold the zx10r,but then thought bikes are to dangerouse full stop,seem to have a different perspective on life when you have kids.

cant seem to find pics of the other bikes

i would like to say i will be back on a bike again in the future,but dont think i will,besides got a nice s2000 to keep me happy for the time being

my bro is a fan of two strokes aswell,had a fair few rs250s and a stan stephens rs 300,he used to luv bullying the bigger bikes down the back roads,he said he much prefered them to his r1.

Bandit_287

Sounds great! That must be an RD500 though. The speed that thing goes would out most 4 strokes to shame.

ROB1980

It is a 350 but clearly had some work done to it as mine won't pull into the red like that, a 500 being a V4 2 stroke sounds different, hope the guy in the video has also upgraded the brakes as there not very good as standard, I have seen people use R1 calipers on an RD.
