I owned and raced the original RD. For my money, there has never been a better street motorcycle than the RD. I'm ready to sell my first born kid to get my hands on one of these in retro please.
bravo le 2temps renait! c est ma tzr 2 rl qui va etre jalouse🤣 c est vrai que l ypvs agit comme un turbo et c est ca que j adore sur les rdlc et tzr. longue vie au 2 temps merci.🤘. dédé.
It would be a dream to have a new RD. However, fakes aside, the 110 HP at 9000 rpm for a 350cc engine is not only impossible to achieve, but it makes the whole film lose credibility As for the look, I prefer the riding position of the RD350ypvs 31K, so with the higher handlebars. If I were Mr. Yamaha, I would do both versions: high handlebars with white-red coloring and low handlebars with yellow "Kenny Roberts" coloring Too bad I'm not Mr. Yamaha ...
Je roule encore avec une Yamaha 2 temps, j'étais excité du retour de la RD 350 jusqu'à temps qu'on mentionne que le moteur est 4 temps...😢 Domage mon intérêt est parti
@johnpollock4257 Thanks for catching that! The original RD 350 was indeed a 2-stroke, which is a big part of its legendary status. However, in this new model, Yamaha has adapted to modern emission standards, so it’s actually a 4-stroke engine designed to capture the spirit of the classic RD 350 while meeting today’s regulations. It’s definitely a departure from the original, but Yamaha is aiming to balance the nostalgia with current technology. What do you think about this change?
@droptuned83 Absolutely, no doubt about it! If Yamaha brought back the RD 350 YPVS today, it would be an instant sensation. The combination of modern technology with that legendary 2-stroke heritage would have enthusiasts lining up around the block. It’s a bike that defined an era, and reviving it now would be nothing short of epic. What features would you love to see if Yamaha decided to make this dream a reality?
@colin-qp4zr That's right, the legendary RD 350! It's a name that brings back so many memories for fans of 2-stroke machines. The idea of bringing back the RD 350 YPVS with modern updates is like a dream come true for enthusiasts. What’s your favorite memory or feature of the original RD 350? Would love to hear your thoughts!
In reality, this bike can achieve easily 80hp stock with a crazy reliability. If Yamaha create this, it's a sold out, and collector item.... The same with TZR, R1-z, TDR and all the other bike,, Nsr, Kr1, RG,,,,,
@wtm7554 Absolutely! An 80hp stock with Yamaha's reliability would be a game-changer. If they bring back the TDR 350 YPVS with that kind of power, it would definitely be an instant hit and a collector's dream. The nostalgia combined with modern engineering would make it a must-have for any 2-stroke enthusiast. Imagine a lineup that includes revived legends like the TZR, R1-Z, and the others you mentioned-it would be like reliving the golden age of 2-strokes. Which one of those classics would you be most excited to see brought back with modern tech?
@malcolmspence2869 That sounds awesome! The F11 Valves were indeed sensational bikes, and it's great to hear you had the chance to experience them. If Yamaha does bring back the RD 350 YPVS, it could be just as incredible, blending modern tech with that legendary performance. Stay tuned-who knows what Yamaha might have in store for us next! What was your favorite thing about riding the F11 Valves?
@innomoto I raced the second one. Tuned the engine slightly. Carbon fibre reeds, enlarged ports, head gasker removed and replaced with a rubber ring. Pistons cut back. But the pipes were so heavy. It still got flogged by the RGVs and KR1S's. Thank goodness for twisties. Always got em on the brakes, which btw, I stiffened with two spark plug sockets down the forks. As I said, incredible machine. Easy to work on, cheap parts. Keep it between 6 and 9 and it flies, man. Many a bigger bike found that out. I did see an updated one someone had made. Modern, twin pipes one side. Looked awesome. I'd have one again in a heartbeat.
@malcolmspence2869, That's incredible! The way you raced and tuned that F11 Valve sounds like a true labor of love. I can imagine how satisfying it must have been to fine-tune every detail, especially with those clever mods to outbrake the competition. The thrill of keeping it in that sweet spot between 6 and 9 RPM-nothing beats that, right? That updated version with the modern twin pipes sounds like a dream. Have you ever thought about recreating that experience with a new project bike? I'd love to hear more about your thoughts on how the RD 350 YPVS could compare to those legendary rides!
Can't find the pic but I remember it clearly. Think R1 styling with the two pipes up one side, upside downies, digital clocks. Thing was ace. Not to take away from my 89 one which was like...flying. The thing spent so much time on one wheel. Racing, you keep it down but out and about it's just let it rear up as you clamber all over it to keep it from flipping or to steer around a bend. A true legend which deserves its place in the annals of legends.
@malcolmspence2869 Wow, that sounds like an absolute beast of a machine! The way you describe the 89 RD 350 YPVS brings it to life-flying on one wheel, dancing through the bends. It’s clear that you have a deep connection with that bike, and the idea of an R1-styled modern version with those twin pipes and upside-down forks sounds like a real game-changer. The RD 350 truly is a legend, and it’s stories like yours that keep that legacy alive. Have you ever considered documenting your experiences, maybe even rebuilding something similar for old times' sake? It would be amazing to see that passion reignited in a new project!
Hey @scottwilk5063! Thanks for sharing. The 2024 model does have an awesome paint scheme-definitely a head-turner! The 2025 version is bringing some exciting updates, but there's something special about the look of the '24. What’s your favorite part about the paint scheme on your Z900RS?
