As a senior citizen I can state for the record I've ridden every air cooled RD and RD LC as well as owned an RZ500. I absolutely loved them! Fantastic video and a great channel you have there. Highly enjoyable sir. Stay safe and happy.

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

Thank you so very much! It would be absolutely nothing without people like you viewing and commenting. Thank you 😁👍

[@chrissydenham6668]

Lovely bike....colour makes a difference from the old mars bar and bounty! Thank you for the memories!

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

Hello Chrissy! You are very welcome glad you enjoyed what we put together. Hopefully more coming soon. Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a message! Much appreciated. Murt 😁👍

[@sallywalsh6012]

What a beautiful bike with an amazing sound.

[@blowduke]

Had one in black with all speeds great bike

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

Mars Bar colours? For me the best colour. Both my YPVS and standard LC were black. 😁👍

[@brianharper9798]

Very nice, had the slightly newer F2 model bought new in 1988. Great trip down memory lane....

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

Thank you Brian! Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching. 😁👍💨

[@timmcvittie436]

Lovely bike 👍

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

Thank you Tim. Neil and I had quite a bit of fun putting the vid together. 😁👍🏍️💨💨

[@dccsound9209]

Took one of mine up PRESCOTT HILL CLIMB this year… great fun

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

I bet it sounded great 👍 although I don’t have one I still love the sound and smell of a 2 stroke and if it’s a 350 LC all the better! 😁👍

[@spotty_cat26]

I've watched a few of your vids previously and found them entertaining, this one however has earned you a sub. I have a candy Blue RD350LC and its a brilliant bike! This video really does do it justice. I am so glad you are a fan too. 👍👍

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

Ah bless you thank you so much! I do think of giving up sometimes. So getting messages like yours helps me keep going. Hopefully I am improving and entertaining. I’m not the BBC and am not trying to conquer the world. But it is nice to have an audience! Oh and I love cats too! 😁👍

[@Banditmanuk]

That's gorgeous. Back in 81, I bought a brand new red and white RD250LC. Absolutely loved the bike, so fast for a 250. That's the bike that made the government change the 250 on L plates law down to 125. Think I paid just over £1200 new 😮 I had a Velocity-Moto LC900, made to look like the RD, but in the end, there's no substitute for a two-stroke engine.

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

Morning Richard 100% agree no substitute for the real thing. I still love 2 strokes and just had to get Neil to tell his story! Just a good excuse to sniff 2 stroke !!! 😆

[@Banditmanuk]

@@the_mad_leprechaun The only time I smell two stroke now is using my Stihl strimmer. Only problem with two-strokes is their nasty habit of seizing or generally detonating engines. Not many will get past 20,000 miles without a re-build

[@jive091]

The X7 wasn't bad either ! Two strokes rule 👍

[@Banditmanuk]

@@jive091 True, a couple of mates had their smaller brothers, the X5s 200cc. They still went well.

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

nice bike thanks for the share on channel keep up the cool vlogs on channel thanks lee

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

Thank you Lee. Much appreciated. Hope you are keeping well! 🚂👍

[@mellowr1]

Lovely bike. Best colour LC Candy Blue👍 Nothing like riding a 2 stroke, still fun today. I have RD 350 F2 YPVS, RD 125 LC YPVS & DT 125 LC YPVS. Love riding them😎

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

Wow seriously impressed! What one is your favourite? Thank you for watching! 😄👍

[@mellowr1]

@@the_mad_leprechaun If I had to pick a favourite it would be the 350, just as it's the biggest cc. But they are all fun in different ways. The rd125 is light and nimble and still goes well, you just have to plan overtakes👍😀The DT is fun for green laning.😎

[@richardwoodhouse8397]

It sound brand new, lovely restored, good finish, pipes sound & look just like oem, I had the pro-am 350lc , micron or allspeeds, microns for rd's microns for kawasaki/suzuki 😅

[@richardwoodhouse8397]

Sorry that's allspeeds for rd's 😮

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

It’s not that long ago!!! Come on now! I had microns on my YPVS and yes the bike sounds great! I love the 2 stroke sound! 😁👍

[@b12kult]

Great looking bike, I've owned the RD400 and a later 350YPVS. Unique sound and smell.....

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

My cousin had a 400 and I had a 350 LC and a YPVS I’d love to have another but can’t justify the price. I’ll just have to settle for making vids like this and sniffing 2 stroke smoke 💨 💨! 😁👍

[@b12kult]

@@the_mad_leprechaun Yes prices are what they are, I'm having the same problem as you. Would also like another 2stroke, can't justify the price either. And I'm also still getting another dreambike ready for the road again (sometime), it's a Honda CB900F Bol d'Or.

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

@b12kult ah wow very nice too! My dream bike would be an XT 600 Tenere I had one when I lived in London, and it was stolen. I then bought the LC and went to LE Mans. Ahhhhh memories! 😆😆😆

[@b12kult]

@@the_mad_leprechaun the XT series, also cult on its own. Yes memories, times that won't come back, I'm nostalgic when thinking about the screaming 4-1's (Marshall, Marvin...) back in the 80's

[@thehum1000]

Ypvs version was the goat, with standard exhaust

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

I loved my YPVS shame I let it go! 😁👍

[@spanky3101]

I know Neil and the story of his LC, it's his fault ive just bought a 1987 RD350F2!

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

Yeah fantastic news! I would like to plan a ride out next year so please do keep in touch with Neil and get involved in the fun! Thank you for your message and for turning in. Murt 😁👍

[@gazzertrn]

Wonder why they did not make it a 400 , just like the original RD ? Just a thought .

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

Mmmmmmmm good question! Unfortunately I don’t have an answer! We may never know. Thank you for stopping by. 😁👍

[@parasinthephilippines]

Pass me the tissues.

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? How long ago did you sell your one? 😁👍

[@MrMuftwub]

miss mine ..... was stolen :(

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

Ahh mate gutted for you! Horrible people bike thieves. 😳👍

[@HarryCallahan-tf3qr]

My mate once said his RD350 would beat my 1995 CR500 up to a distance of a Mile 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@the_mad_leprechaun]

And don’t leave me hanging?? 😁👍👍

[@HarryCallahan-tf3qr]

@the_mad_leprechaun I just laughed at him and thought don't think so Mate.
