  • What a beautiful bike. I love the color.

  • Brings back memories of RD`s :-) I had the RD 250 coffin tank (1977) and my mate hade the earlier shape RD 250 same shape as yours (1975). God we had a blast in the 12 months we owned them. Got chased by the coppers (on their bikes) and they only caught me up when I stopped to turn right at the lights (was totally oblivious to them being after me) maybe I couldn`t see them in my smoke haze :-) Remember they were a pig from cold though. Nice bike...keep it going.

  • I love those bikes and the lurid purple colour scheme. I've got a basket case 74 RD200 that will one day be rebuilt - needs lots of parts though, like engine sidecovers and seat.....

  • That same front brake was used on the YDS7. That's why it works so well on the smaller machine.

  • Awesome machine my 5th motorbike was a 1973 Yamaha CS5 ,Great video.

  • yep, these are a good fun bike to have if you're just starting out. I learnt on a similar one (RD200B), have now got one as per the vid, a CS5-e.

  • totaly awsome!! I was just givin one of these ny my grandfather very nice bike!! perfect 4 a first!!

  • Brought back a lot of good memories. That induction noise is so distinctive ! These had the awesome twin leading shoe front brake that was so superior to the disc of the later RD200 models.

  • Ah that takes me back, but how come no electric start (mine didn't work from cold either).
