Yamaha RD250 RD400. Aug 2022 (1)
1975 Yamaha RD400. NKW 845R. Blue. 398cc. Petrol. Date of first registration August 1976.
1980. Yamaha RD250. FUF 606V. Yellow. 247cc. Petrol.
RDs were produced from 1972 onward, initially with rather old-fashioned utilitarian styling which was updated around 1976/77 to the classic slab sided beauties with speed block graphics that typified the look of the era.
RD stood for Race Developed, which was accurate. Yamaha had a long racing history feeding their development and RDs were raced in all sorts of different categories. They were lightweight and when you hit the powerband they took off like a scalded cat.
