YAMAHA RD350, 1973-1975
|
So many people recount the days when they owned an RD... back when they pulled wheelies up the high street! The RD's were actually quite closely based on the Yamaha Factory racers of the time, but were civilized enough to run down to the shops, head for the hills, or even tour on. Over the few years of production, very little changed on the 350, other than the paint scheme. The RD350 was classified as a 'small-middleweight' thanks to its compact design. Most racetracks around the Country saw a lot of RD's. The overall package was better than the Kawasaki triples, and the RD's were very reliable.
Power in 1973 was 22.2@7000rpm, with torque of 40ft/lb's@7000. Wet weight was 343lb's.
