Modified Yamaha RD 350 HT ownership review.

[@alokbalsekar]

Couple of pointers. 1. Only 743 Yezdi 350s were made. Even fewer sold. Even fewer survive today. 2. The fully faired version for the Yezdi was called the Yezdi Supersprint. But that was a modification of the 250cc Roadking. I am a proud owner of both the RD350 and Yezdi 350.

Nice review. I am 67. Oh, there is nothing like a twin-cylinder 2-stroke that runs well. Here in my country, we never got the RD350. We got the RD400, RD350 LC, & RZ350. I can't recall the last time I saw a 2-stroke motorcycle on our roads. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.

[@allaboutautomobiles.]

Thank you for complementing the video, you guys were extremely lucky to have experienced the latest RD's and RZ's during the 70s to 80s. It's unfortunate that these bikes have become rare. The RD's here in India usually only come out either for weekend rides or such events. You will occasionally see the RX 100 & 135 on our streets as an everyday office going bike. The people in South India are true 2 stroke fanitics, and the culture over there is just unparallel.

[@ramishrambarran3998]

@@allaboutautomobiles. Hi again. People in our country do not like motorcycles. We have a very small motorcycle population. I have a Yamaha FZ25 for almost a year. Like the other small Yamahas sold by the dealer, it is made in India. The more powerful and off-road models are made in Japan. It is just another 250 cc bike, a budget bike. But it works well, and is good on fuel. Not too much electronics to deal with. The Yamaha dealer has a RZ350 as a showbike on display. The biggest 2-strike I had was a Suzuki GT550 triple. Thank you for your reply. Trinidad & Tobago West Indies.

[@bencherdent1696]

The sound from the exhaust still reverberates in my ears. No bike currently in India can come anywhere close to this RD350, my elder brother owned one in the 80s. A league of its own, sadly lost on account of mileage. For a 350cc, high speed twin cylinder in India, it had its own clientele

[@allaboutautomobiles.]

Yes a twin 2 stroke bike has a tune that no modern 4 stroke bike can compete.

[@justusgeorge5390]

I used to know Yazad way back (prior to 1996). It's good to see him again in this video. He had a passion for the RD even back then..

[@boyfromthemountains]

When I was in college St Andrew's bandra nearly every alternate evenings one guy used to ride a RD 350, I always used to look at that bike and be like wish I had the pockets to buy this. It was aroun 90-100k back then around 5-7 years ago.❤

[@allaboutautomobiles.]

Well l hope you have achieved your dream of owning this amazing machine.

[@samronjude]

Great to see my bike featured here, I would have never sold this bike but Yazed is truly deserving and yes when I saw his face after he took it for a spin I knew he will not think twice! This bike has exceptional porting and the power delivery is unmatched and it goes hand in hand with the Ron Chinoy CDI system! This is one MAD RD350 Hybrid and Yazed Lord is crazy! Haha

He never agreed...His main concern was never the speed, but the mileage that it would give..which wouldn't have been sufficient with my pocket money. I wish I could have laid my hands on it.. would have kept it as a showpiece for ages. ❤️ Lovely coverage of a legendary bike!

U ride fr a month and 3 months n garage tuning t Riding t was a pleasure ,even f i close my eyes i can still feel to this day ..the roar and blue smoke & petrol perfume on urslf and oil stained denims nd finger nails .. Eats up on ur wallet but overtakes and speeds lik no otr vehicles n road n those days. . ..as he said 120 kmph was the sweet spot ..no vibrations jus smooooooth cruising . It was a well balanced bike. I used to do stunts (college day adrenaline) CHRIST (standing in the seat wit arms wide open ) while cruising at 80kmph .. Thise were the days no fear n no brains Which i had to sell with a heavy heart .. Only regret of my life . Still miss it to this day . Now have a rc390 2016

Very well said, I could visualise the entire event in my head, I understand your feeling, My only regret in my life was selling my 1982 Yezdi, Had even offered to double the selling price to the current owner, but he just simply refuses to let go of her.

[@allaboutautomobiles.]

The RD is a Global product for Yamaha, much respected by all the automobile enthusiast all over the World. I dont think that Yamaha would launch the RD again especially for India. Yes Yamaha has significantly better and more superior products abroad, I guess they are still considering India as an 'under developed nation' in their portfolio of markets.

[@SurajSinghTomarArya]

@@allaboutautomobiles. They can release something like SR400 for India. India has a market for modern UJMs. CB350 is a hit, Kawasaki is releasing watered down version of W175 on Sunday.
