1976 Yamaha RD -

1976 Yamaha RD250. With a weight around 152 kg dry with 30 horsepower, the Yamaha RD250 was a young riders dream, built for fun and bags of it at that. The RD250 parallel twin engine had a narrow powerband, a need to keep the revs sky high, and a narrow chassis to cling on to, the RD 250 demanded the riders attention. Was it a road bike? Yes, could it take on a trackday? Without question, and it handled as such. It would live on through the 70s and into the 80s in the guise of the RD250LC which was an upgraded liquid-cooled version. Along with the RD350LC version the liquid cooled motorcycles would become two of the most iconic bikes of the 80s. This RD has been lovingly cared for and has just had in excess of 1000 spent to keep it maintained in top condition, this includes the fitment of new tyres, brakes, chain, seals etc. Still in lovely order throughout and as far as we know original specification this Yamaha is ready to be enjoyed in new hands and would grace any collection or motorcycle show. Running and riding as it should the two stroke engine note brings 40 plus years of memories flooding back. Now being tax and mot exempt ownership costs are minimal. Absolutely any inspection welcome.
