DISCRIPTION :
This Yamaha RD ( 4LO series )is a very original bike with its original engine still in place and with only around 46k KM on the odometer. It was yamaha's first watercooled 350 cc 2 cilinder bike and a smash hit when it came to the market.The RD350 clipped through the lights in 13.19 sec. at 99.22 mph. That's quick, especially for a 350cc motorcycle ! in the early 80's.
We personally love the looks and factory color combination of this first series watercooled RD 350's and the are great and powerfull lightweight bikes that are great fun to drive and enjoy and should be in any bike fan's collection.
We feel the Yamaha RD's amongst the nicest 2 stroke bike's ever produced and the are great fun to ride. With their watercooled 2 cilinder 2 stroke engines, that produces a great sound, even when stock, and lightweight frame and structure the are fast but also great bikes for long drive's and street/track days!.
These bikes are reliable and easy to maintain and for it's asking price you won't be able to find a more original and quality bike of this magnitude and in this condition easily. The are getting more difficult to find. The bike we present to you here is a great example of an original and numbers match ( engine and frame no match). It has all original components and parts in place and the engine is very healthy with pretty low KM's on the odo which we believe to be correct. Everything works as should and with its original exhaust also still there she run's like she should, just like when the were sold new.The bike is NOT an overrestored or concours bike, but just well maintananced troughout its 40+ years of life. We found the bike at it's first owner and he looked after it with great care. The bike is a perfect mix of originallity and show/driver condition. Just the way we like them !.
