Anyone on here into RD LC's?

[steven f]

Had one here as well, was bloooody quick for a 125, about 110mph i think only thing it used to burn a hole in the piston, so i use to stip it and go up to a local engineering co and weld up the crown put it back together and hey presto a piston that would last longer get it bought at any price m8 a part of history , if the wife would allow any more toys i'd have one

think you had a tuned speedo if it showed 110mph

They can easily be tuned to 21bhp, which is how they were supplied unrestricted to non uk markets. 110 on the clock is around 100 real mph, about right for these small light bikes. Sound superb too

pmsl, i had a mk2 RD125LC when i was 17, had the TZR wheels and different decals etc, derestricted it and got 95mph out of it. good bikes by all accounts. best place to surf everything RD is www.yamaha-rd.com ( imaginitive eh? )

Had a Akai RD 350 LC (Like Kenny Roberts scheme but instead of yellow/black/white was Red/white strip on Black bike) was already painted by Dream machine when I got it, paid £925 for it, think it was only 2 years old when I was 17

Had to sell it to repay my dad for writing off his Cortina

Just to update an old thread... finally bought the bike a few months ago

i would love a RD400E in white with red chevrons. these were quick bikes. had loads of showing the 4 cyl 4 stroke boys the way home, happy days .

Awesome bike mate. I had a red one and passed my test on it. It did 85mph the second day I had it, but never did it again.

I dropped it so may times going to college in the winter, I'm sure Yamaha made thousands out of me on wing mirrors and indicators.

All my mates have them and they sell for £1500+ in mint condition and £800 for an alright one with an mot . Shit slow these days though , those plastic twist and go scooters give them a proper pasting off the lights .

i've got an old white/red 350 ypvs in the garage hidden under a sheet

got it to play with and get a full licance but never got started

Theres a few on pistonheads two at 2500 one at 1250 all depends on condition miles and what the seller wants for it

Thats about what i thought, I didnt do too bad getting it then, all the jap 2 stroke prices seem to be heading up. Best I get it out of the house before my mrs notices it

A mint 2/350 LC can cost you six bags of sand for proper bufty one these days
