We think we might have found the worlds coolest two stroke Scooter! Here at 999lazer we love 2 Stroke motorcycles and we love a great story...and this video features both! This is this the Yambretta RD350 owned by Jed Thomson. The bike might look like a vintage Lambretta but it's powered by the legendary Yamaha RD350 / RZ350 YPVS motor. This might just be as much fun as you could ever have on the road.
A big thanks goes to Jed for sharing this incredible story with us.
We couldn't make videos like this one without the support of our awesome sponsors! For all your Motorcyle oils and lubricants be sure to check out Putoline: bit.ly/PutolineUK ‪@PutolineOil‬

One hell of a scoot about! Idk how you rode it, I would of been sweating bullets lol

@paulaskew1294 Год назад

In 1986 I was 16. My dad offered me his 1973 RD 350. I turned him down. I thought it was too old. He gave the bike to a so called friend. Who parted it out. It was a running fully functioning bike. All these years later. I am still kicking myself in the butt!!!!

I had Li Frame with a 225, engine AF exhaust, 34mm Amal Powerjet Carb and that scared me to death, this is something else. Such a beautifully engineered bike and a real tribute to your Bruv, thank you for your service Jed.

@Adam202 Год назад

The Yamaha 350 twin 2 stroke engines are so much fun. I had a blast riding the Banshee that my brother used to have. I also had a friend who put one of them in a golf cart which was a truly terrifying experience. Very cool scooter, thanks for sharing Jed!

Remember there's a racing series in Italy for scooters. Malossi, Polini & Athena all have entries. The classes are super competitive, witth 100cc pocket rockets putting out over 25-30hp Also check out the drag racers.

Thanks for showing it off mate and god bless your brother - please know he took your love with him

The second one I’ve seen on RU-vid in a wk , a scoot with a rd 350 motor , but really a death trap with tiny wheels , however thumbs up for the work , thought and scratching heads , a lot of spanner works , blood sweat and tears , cheers shane uk

@carlmorton2556 Год назад

What a nice bit of kit and a tribute to your bro you can’t beat the sound of a 350 LC when the power valve opens and then the ploom of blue smoke I had a 350 ypvs and spent most of the time on the back wheel how do you keep it down when the reeds open keep on biking mate

@YFRacing Год назад

Let him know steering damper wise, have alook at the lambettas that race in the bsso race series in the UK, they attach them to the fork leg to the bottom off front frame, works realy well, realy help under hard breaking, from 90 and 100 they don't half get a wobble on with the 4 pots they run, especialy if the frame hasent got a bar in middle depending on the class its inn

If you change a bike more than a certain amount you have to tax it I think. Not sure how they quantify it but they class it as a newer vehicle if it's changed too much. Be good if he used a twist grip shifter, not numbered but just sequencial. One back the rest forward etc.

Jed--you CAN add a steering damper! It goes between the legshield and fork. Here's one on Shiny Red! He's on your side of the pond. ru-vid.comCOI3JS61KXI I saw another Yambretta (also with RD350 motor) at a rally in Gettysburg, PA here stateside about 12 years ago. It wasn't quite so clean. :-)
