Yamaha RD description

Up for auction is my running 1974 Yamaha RD350.   This bike is in decent condition, and will make for a great project bike to make as a nice rider.  Looks to be original.  I have a clear Michigan Title that is NOT in my name, in case that matters. Engine has lots of compression, and makes no funny noises.  Doesn't leak or drip any oil.  Transmission and clutch work perfectly.  Has a nice hard hitting powerband and easily carries the front wheel in 1st and 2nd gear, which makes for alot of fun.  I would recommend cleaning the carbs to get it running perfectly as its a bit sluggish down low.  However it does idle and pull away easily, just could run a little nicer in the low rpms. Has a new battery.  The original paint is decent for a rider.  Has several scratches and small dings here and there on the tank, and the side panel paint is ok.  Inside of tank is nice and won't require any coating. 

Tires are shot, and the spokes are rusty front and rear.  Chrome has some rust and pitting, but would look decent with some work.  Front brake master cylinder is seized and dry.  So the front brake system will need to be gone through.  Speedometer glass is missing, seat has some tape, and seat latch needs adjusted.  Rear lights work, headlight only works on high.  turn signals inop, probably needs a flasher and bulbs. One turn signal lense is missing.  All handlebar switches work.  Airbox is missing.

Please see my other auctions for RD parts and an RD parts bike which has several usefull items on it that could be transferred to this bike.

Buyer to pay for shipping and payment by cash upon pickup.  Or if you are having it shipped then payment by money order or cashiers check only.  Once the check clears then it can be shipped or picked up.   Has to be picked up at my house.

What Has James Stewart Been Up To? [video]

Wed, 15 Dec 2010

The last time we checked up on James Stewart, he wasn’t having a good year. First, there was the season-ending injury in the second round of the 2010 AMA Supercross campaign, an ill-advised comeback at the Unadilla National, and then a much-panned open letter after getting left off Team USA for the Motocross of Nations. In all, Stewart took part in just three races in 2010.

Rumor: Yamaha Developing Inline Three Roadster

Wed, 25 Jan 2012

French motorcycle outlet Moto Revue reports Yamaha is developing a new three-cylinder middleweight. Citing an internal Yamaha document, Moto Revue reports the new naked model will feature an inline Triple engine, aluminum perimeter frame, upside-down fork and a triple-pipe exhaust like the MV Agusta F3 and Brutale 675. Yamaha has produced a Triple before, offering the XS750 from 1976-1979 before replacing it with the XS850 in 1980 and 1981 (pictured above is the 1981 Yamaha XS850.) The potential new model is still likely to be years away, so its look is yet to be determined, though Moto Revue does have a rendering that borrows some of the design elements from the FZ8.

Hayes to Race in Valencia GP for Injured Colin Edwards

Mon, 31 Oct 2011

Josh Hayes will make his MotoGP racing debut at the Nov. 6 Valencia Grand Prix in Spain as an injury replacement for fellow American Colin Edwards. Already set to test the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 M1 after the season-ending race, Hayes was a logical choice to ride in Edwards’ place.
