1975 Yamaha RD250 first ride

[@jaytouvelle2359]

I got mine up to 100MPH back in 1977. I bought i used for $500.from my wrestling coach. It was a beast for a new rider. I would wheelie it without trying very dangerous for a 16 year old kid with no riding experience. It was beautiful wish I still had it.

Yambits are a great source of parts in the UK.

Please keep us updated. It's a shame how little of content os out there on the 200 and 250s unfortunately. I recently got a 74 200

Mine was the same color! Topped out at 84 mph, but the compression was getting a bit low with 3,700 miles.

Imagine someone else make an accident.... Hands down as you fall(many times myself)... Gloves! Gloves!

[@driftwood5407]

They sing when you get to 9.500 rpm :)

[@acptelford1307]

No gloves? Bit daft that is.

[@jezfreeman8363]

Wear gloves when you ride man. Even a low speed off on tarmac will mess your hands up. Nice old 2 stroke bike though.
