Yamaha RD 350 LC - show and tell !!! 

Thank you :-)

She does sound great. Back in the day I loved the sound the chrome allspeeds gave them - almost a 'crackle'.

The yellow was really special! But yes, I think back in the 80's I would have most likely picked the black, or white one, as I think they did look more 'sporty' - but they are still the ones you see more of now. Not so much the candy blue - which was another reason i wanted it.

@@RideableClassics Had a Black one in 1982, reg LBB7X, check it out and not been taxed since 1990, hope it is still in one piece. Also have a ZGZ550 D1 plastic bit for in between the clocks, diff to the Z400/500 550 one as it has the fuel gauge. Your tank will not have it if it is a std 550, also teh GPZ550D1 speedo has 70mph at the top, think the Std 550 has 65 at the top like my Z500. Nice original LC with patina.

Its funny how we still remember the registrations of the bikes we had decades ago. My 550D1 was TWX25W - like many I searched high and low to try and find it, but I fear it was probably recycled years ago into a fridge freezer or some such 😂

LOL - yes, I thought that too when I watched the video back! It didn't actually blow straight in, so I got away with that one ;-) Its funny but you forget how frantic they are to ride... All quiet and sombre up to 5,000 revs, but then all hell breaks loose!! 😂

Hi Barry, the 400 are the older air-cooled model. The LC's generally came in 250, or 350 guise, although they did do a 500 as well, but its the 250's & 350's which were the most popular. The 400 is a good bike, but as I say, a quite different beast than the LC's, which are of course liquid cooled. I hope you manage to get hold of one at a good price 👍

Yeah I saw a different washer as well 🤣🤣🤣
