"Yamaha RD250" (1973)
The 1973 Yamaha RD250 is a motorcycle that captured
the hearts of enthusiasts with its combination of performance,
reliability, and affordability. Powered by a 247cc air-cooled,
two-stroke parallel-twin engine, the RD250 produced around 30bhp, delivering lively acceleration and a top speed of around 90
mph. The bike was equipped with Yamaha's Autolube system, which
automatically mixed oil with the fuel, making it more convenient and
reducing the risk of engine seizure, a common issue with earlier
two-strokes. The RD250's handling was sharp and responsive, thanks to
its lightweight frame, telescopic front forks, and rear swingarm
suspension. The bike's design was simple yet attractive, with a clean,
purposeful look that appealed to a wide range of riders. The 1973 Yamaha
RD250 became a popular choice for those seeking a sporty yet practical
machine, and it laid the groundwork for the RD series' legendary status
in the world of two-stroke performance bikes.
