1972 Yamaha R5 350 

I'm over in Loanhead, 6 miles south of Edinburgh Scotland. I owned my YR5 350 in 1978, built in 1971 I think. So sad I don't even have a photo of it. Great bike, exceptionally fast back then and did 5 minutes to the gallon (ha, ha) Lovely wee video you've made for me to reminisce, thanks for the reminder. Ash Watt

I bought mine in late '72, as the RD350 was coming out. I got it on sale for $735... what a ride. I put J&R chrome expansion chambers on it w/K&N air filters and it was almost unbeatable 0-60... I had a friend that bought the new Kawasaki 900 K1 a few years later, and he was shocked to see I could 'jump him' until I shifted to 3rd gear ( then he would come by me like I was sitting still!). Light weight, fast reving... it STILL puts a smile on my face seeing this video! Thanks for the memories.

Great video. I had the exact same here in Norfolk UK in '76. Different ride to by Bonneville but fun and quick.

Great bike!! I had one with only 1390 miles in great original shape. I sold it on ebay for $4300 to a buyer from Japan. He paid all shipping cost. The clean ones are getting hard to find.

Had the same bike, all original with 1350 miles. Sold on ebay 6/12 @ $4300, went to japan. COOL BIKE

Bought one in 1977. Paid $350 for it. Great bike. Mine was all Cafe'd outwith expansion chambers and rear sets.

i had one in 1982-83. ( It's sitting in my mate's shed now.) Loved it! It truly pissed along.

I first learned to drive a motorcycle on a RD-350. It was in January and cold with snow on the ground, lol.

I have that exact bike sitting in my shed.

checking out your vid of R5 just saw one in chicago for 1600 needs paint, was thinking to ship back to ny might be cheap since gas is so low now

I had a new one in 1972. The price was 875 dollars.

Had a new in 72, paid 840 for it ,kept it till 1975 when I went to work at a Kawasaki dealer and he asked me to sell it

FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS? Wow, paid $800 for mine.

How much for the bike how far away is it from ringgold

Any update on this bike ?

paying collector money for this bike. i just picked up three rd350s for 150 at a tag sale.

Is this bike for sale
