"Yamaha RD350" (1973)
The 1973 Yamaha RD350 is a motorcycle that earned a
reputation as a giant killer, offering superbike performance in a
lightweight and affordable package. Powered by a 347cc air-cooled,
two-stroke parallel-twin engine, the RD350 produced a potent 39bhp enabling it to reach speeds of up to 105mph. This
performance, combined with the bike's relatively low weight, made it a
favorite among riders who enjoyed spirited riding. The RD350 was
equipped with Yamaha's Autolube system, which simplified maintenance by
automatically mixing oil with the fuel. The bike featured a robust
frame, sharp handling, and effective braking, making it a well-rounded
machine for both city commuting and weekend blasts on twisty roads. The
design of the RD350 was sporty and attractive, with a distinctive fuel
tank, chrome accents, and a clean, minimalist look that emphasised its
performance-oriented nature. The 1973 Yamaha RD350 remains a classic,
celebrated for its exhilarating performance, reliability, and its role
in making high-performance motorcycling accessible to a broader
audience.
