Yamaha RD350

Motorcycles and Powered Two- and Three-Wheelers

The Yamaha RD350 is an air-cooled parallel-twin two-stroke sport bike that Yamaha built from 1973 to 1975. It evolved directly from the front drum-braked, five-speed Yamaha R5 350, and it added a reed valve intake, a six-speed gearbox in most markets, a single front disc brake with a rear drum brake, and Autolube automatic oil injection so that riders no longer had to mix two-stroke oil with petrol. The stock bike made 39 bhp at 7,500 rpm, which was very fast for its time. Its frame dimensions were close to those of the Yamaha TZ 250 and TZ 350 factory road racers. A licensed version of the RD350B was assembled in India between 1983 and 1990 by the Escorts group as the Rajdoot 350. The design was developed into the RD400C in 1976 and ended with the white RD400F in 1979.
