Absolute gem of a bike, thanks for showing us.
Yeah what a fantastic bike, thanks :)
@@ProjectMoto Like the chap who owns the bike, I raced a Yamaha RD 350 LC in the early eighties. Oulton, Cadwell, Aintree and Three Sisters.
The grids were always packed. At Oulton, for example, there would be 45 young nutters on 350s, in a haze of blue smoke, waiting for the lights to go green so they could have the greatest tear up of their lives.
Ridiculously good fun and relatively cheap and easy to do.
I'd love to own one again.
the bike that stopped me driving bikes, oh how i loved my lc, back in 1994 i got my hands on a very unusual lc, non-stock,pipes, carbs, heads, pistons, and it looked a mess, all hand built, but jesus christ it would pull your arms off, would pop into wheelies in third if you where not careful with the throttle, it ate cogs alive, it would go through 4/6 a year, i even tried gearing it down a little which helped, but yea, the thing was insane, so why did i stop driving bikes? a blow out at 210 kph, over 500 meters to stop, missed several vehicles and people, i let go of the bars 3 times to jump and it stood up straight. when i finally stopped and got off i just sat staring at it and said to myself, that was all 9 lives used up in one go, i think it's time to stop, a truck driver actually came over and shook my hand and said well done son, i said bollox, i was just a passanger. i walked her home and never drove a bike again. i still swaer to this day, that bike almost killed me several times that night and saved me at the same time, an incredible bike, there handling was something else. so very well balanced, almost felt like a dirt bike at times. this video sent chills down my spine, same colour, same sound, i belt the same smell too, god i miss bikes and also glad i stopped.
Wow ,yeah they are awesome bikes , i also did a ride video on a 350lc, such good memories (and maybe not so good) of these bikes..love hearing peoples stories of their bikes.. yeah a lucky escape , which I have had many 😂😂 but for me I just couldn’t live without them , but glad you are hear to tell the tale :)
@@ProjectMoto it's a pleasure to share it, i still miss bikes, i still want to drive one every single day, but i'm happy to watch from a safe distance and still love everything bikes are about.
What a magnificent bike, it sounds terrific.
Good anecdotes as well.
And nice riding position , he looked good on that bike,
It fits him like a glove.
Yeah what an awesome bike, everything just looks right on it and it sounds so good 😊
Historical bike, beautiful job on it!!! BRAVO!!!! ❣️👍❣️👍❣️👍❣️👍
Yeah what an awesome bike, love the way it still looks like an RD350 until you start looking at it, he done a really good job :)
I would prefer that bike over all other bikes. This thing is insane wanna see more of it. I owned a yamaha banshee 350 with 35mm mikuni carbs an dmc alien exhaust. This was awsome. That engine is a great one.
Yeah it’s an awesome bike , love that it modern ish but still as it pulls up looks like an RD 350 until you look at it, the sound is crazy ..
Beautiful sound that motor sound so tight
Yeah really does sound sweet, awesome 😎
What a wonderful Bike.
Yeah it’s gorgeous to look at and hear.. and a bit of an animal to ride I guess
Fuckinel that's a stunning looking bike and sounds awesome too I grew up in the 60's with Classic British bikes and love all these Yamaha 2 strokes too
Good job
I also have an RD 350, base preparation cylinders origin, worked and crankshaft + 4mm
Best regards Portugal
Thanks , nice , I just looked at yr RD350 ypvs, is that your bike? And your DTR170 sounds nice 👍
@@ProjectMoto
Yes, I have the RD 350 under construction
The engine is being prepared, this year it should be running
Yes dtr is fun
Upload more videos from your RD 👍
Them pipes sound awesome matey
Yeah they just sound so good, awesome 😎
@@ProjectMoto wot make are they?
What a beautiful bike.....👍
Yeah it is nice and well put together , awesome bike 😎
Damn, they weren't like that when I was a kid 😉. Beautiful...
Yeah a few of my mates had them when we was young, love how it still looks like an RD at first glance but the more you look at it you see the differences, so nice and sounds awesome
Sounds awesome! side note: your rear tyre is on backwards
Yeah it sounds so good , il let him know when he comes back
Tóp!!! Very Very beautifull soud!
Yeah I love a 2 stroke and this classic , made a bit modern is such a nice bike, sounds awesome
Muito Linda! Parabéns pelo bom gosto
obrigado, é uma moto muito legal
Oh that's nice I miss mine.
Yeah it’s an awesome bike, like how it’s got some nice modern parts but still looks like an RD.. mate I miss a lot or my old bikes as well
Top Notch kit you have there
One beefy sounding 2 stroke
Like you see you review a Jamie James Edition RZ350 and review one of those..
Take care God bless🙏🇺🇸
Thanks, yeah it’s a really nice bike, you can’t beat the sound of a 2stroke!! got a couple of my friends 350’s to do videos on too so when the weather gets a bit better here in the UK will get them done :)
@@ProjectMoto 👍🙏🇺🇸✌🇬🇧
It would be nice to see 2 dyno tests on these pipes then standard pipee.
He’s had so much done to the engine I’m not sure how it would run properly with the standard pipes but would be interesting to see for sure
@ProjectMoto It sure would, wouldn't it be a trip if she made more power with the standard pipes,definitely worth a try.Someone is gonna want an arm and two legs 🦵 for a pair 🤠🇬🇧🤘
@@ianmangham4570 yeah but also I prefer the look of after maket exhaust .. Paul here has an YPVS with all speeds on it.. he has the brand new standard cans still as spare , they are probably worth a lot of money now
Nice sound must be smoooth❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah the guy reckons it’s so nice to ride.. but a bit of an animal :)
Fun fact: With the right combination of parts and billet cases, you can have a 1000cc twin to a 2000cc inline 4...
Some people have a lot of time on their hands 😂 but yeah they do it… what about v2 into a v4 …triples into inline 6…
Needs solo seat, new back tire steering damper, fork brace, and cut your canisters down to 7 inches
Yeah could do, me I like it how it is but that’s the cool thing with bikes like this , nearly every one is different.. such an awesome bike :)
We need that update video mate
Mate so do I, I saw the guy in the summer but he had blown the bike up and was getting it repaired… hopefully he comes back soon, well when it warms up a bit !
Is there a longer review for this bike or did it not happen?
It’s didn’t happen as the bike blew up not long after , he was rebuilding it but have not seen him recently to know if it’s fixed
@@ProjectMoto thanks for the reply, shame about that it looked like an awesome bike
Super
Yeah it’s really something special
👍🏍
Awesome bike 😎
hello question you which rims are on that rd?
I think they were from an RGV250
Geezer 😊
😎
Any chance of update on that rd
Yeah I see the guy again but he had a problem with the bike which he had fixed and then there’s been lockdown so not seen him yet but when I do I will do a video on the bike
I need that motor😍...and you need to get some factor 30,you’re starting to look like a pecan nut.
😂😂Probably factor 50 or maybe a sombrero ....andale andale
Very nice
It’s so nice in the flesh, wish the manufacturers made nice 2 strokes now
@@ProjectMoto it’s luckly Iv still got hold my tzr250 twin 32 yes old now and from Stan Stevens
@@tekkersreefer8055 nice 👍, I used to have a few KR1S’s and RGV250’s when I started riding and tbh I would still love to have either of them now, just love 2 strokes
I had this tzr250 when I was 19 still got it at age 44 lol one owner to 39000 on clock to lol love my 2 Strokes❤️ mine been parked up for 28 yrs in a lock up
Bellissima
Love RD350’s... your RD350 is very nice too 👀
Какой он классный. А я свой 5 год доделать не могу

De lokos

1:12 I swear I could get the whiff of 2 stroke.
Ha yeah I’m like that when I watch a 2 stoke video 😂
Oi! How much HP? (Sorry if I missed that 🤓 )
I think it was about 90bhp😎
Is it for sale?
I don’t know ... I can ask the owner when I see him
@@ProjectMoto 👍👍👍
Me gusta el programa pero soy venezolano y no entiendo el idioma y tube el 250 y el 350pero no es ese es el otro y ese así como lo muestran es una máquina pero se ve feo no esta horijinales de un todo
ok..Es una 427cc especial única con muchas piezas adicionales de otras motocicletas, me gustó
Always wondering why all modified bikes must have Brembo calipers. That is expensive crap. Or in other words it is either crap or expensive. I equip all my mods if possible with this single piece Sumitomos like on Yamaha R1. Way better for peanuts ...
guess its just personal preference or what sort of money you want to spend, personally I've always found Brembo callipers good on the bikes that i have ridden, but then most modern brakes are good ...and anything is an improvement on brakes from years ago, but then i like an old bike if its standard with original brakes as they suit the bike, but when you start making them faster and handle better, better suspension you def need the brake upgrade, any brake upgrade
Beautiful beautiful sound
@@Mikeyp1054 shame manufacturers don’t make them no more.. can’t be the sound of a 2 stroke , especially this one
Hooligan......
If you look up ‘hooligan’ in the dictionary there is just a link to this bike 😂😂
Yeah, you are not wrong there mate takes me back to racing at box hill on a sunday....
@@amcj10 now that sounds like good memories to have :)
He drive like a 4 stroke 😂
I don’t know how he rides it but it sounds pretty awesome , would be crazy on to ride I’m sure
2 stroke viagra
That’s Exactly what this bike is, awesome 😎
