@@SIMONB1 Yes I did. Bought it brand new in 1981, every penny I had at the time. Ran like a pig for most of the 1000 mile running in period. After that it ran perfectly for the 18000 miles I had it. Best bike I ever owned. The looks, feel, noise, acceleration ticked all my boxes. A bike that truly captured the moment for so many.

Simon, Cracking good show! There's nothing like the sound of a Yamaha two stroke twin. 😊 Music to my ears. Across the pond in the USA, we never got the 350LC, we had to soldier on with the aging RD350 and 400 air cooled bikes until the YVPS LC2 arrived in 1984. Those 5 years from '79 to '84 were filled with envy for the Elsie, which was forbidden in the US. Imagine the surprise and delight when Yamaha brought the YVPS LC2 (RZ350 in the US) to America. I promptly bought an '85, and still have it. Great fun to ride. Easy to maintain, good spares availability, and now highly coveted by collectors. I will never sell it. I am now helping my son restore an '84 YVPS he bought in pieces from someone else's uncompleted restoration. Eventually, my bike will join his collection when I hang up my helmet. Enjoy your Elsie, they are great fun to ride. Thanks for sharing.

Loved the RD’s I never had an LC but did have a 400 with J&R power pipes dropped bars engine and carb work that made it fly from 3500 revs, below that was a big flat spot but still commuted on it through all weathers as you did back then. When the LC’s came along I’d already changed to the 400 super dream and was happy enough with that, even better when with a Dunstall exhaust and when Pirelli brought, think it was the phantom tyre to the market that was a huge improvement on the sort of tyres it came with originally👍

Hey up southwest, the 400 superdream would be in par with the LC, probably easier to ride as it would if been a 4 stroke, I remember running my LC on Avon roadrunners, I have no idea how I rode the LC like I stole it, all them years ago, good memories, ride safe, Simon B 👍

That is a very nice bike indeed sir but not convinced it is a 1982 model, as they had triple stripe decals, so more likely it is a 1980 or 81, unless it was a late sold early example? Love mine to bits, although my I do prefer my RD400’s if I am being brutally honest, as they have a little more character imho.

Hey up Mark, it is a German import, so it could be an earlier bike , yes the air cooled ones do have a bit more character , not like the bikes of today 😉, thanks for dropping a comment and watching, ride safe, Simon B 👍
