1970s Yamaha RD





This was one of those dream bikes. My only experience with a Yamaha RD was taking a friend's bike for a short spin. It felt formidable. Very nippy in traffic and I enjoyed that two-stroke snarl. Thirsty machine but petrol was cheap. Many RDs are lovingly looked after the world over, but I haven't seen a good classic example in Sri Lanka yet.
