I had one of these in 82 when I was 18, I can't tell you how much I loved that bike. There is nothing like a 2 stroke road bike, if you'd had one you know exactly what I'm talking about. This put a BIG smile on my face, thank you

[@54macdog]

The RDs are some of the greatest bikes of all time. This is the pinnacle of the group.

[@johncarlson1877]

I'm 54 and grew up had a yam jt1 mini endure 60 and an rd 60 I wish I could be involved with your program. My 39 years as a mechanic are going to waste as I'm a dinosaur now and have no marketable skills for this day and age. Keep on guys I just subbed!

[@jessarellanes6648]

Can't believe the Daytona special is 40 years old now,yes of course I had one back in the day,

[@howardhansen7918]

My neighbor was a Yamaha dealer brought one home brand new with 50 miles on it. He let me test drive it back in my motocross days. I wheelied it for 3/4 mile effortlessly. The good old days for sure!! 😁😁😁

[@hawkt2448]

In 1980 I saw a Daytona Special go thru the town I lived in. Beautiful then and still beautiful machines today

[@1970sRacing]

Here in Quebec, they were called the widowmakers.

If I could make enough working with you guys I could get off disability!!!!

[@tomnekuda3818]

It's a crying shame that we no longer have 2-strokes for the road in this country and in our dirt bikes they are becoming more rare....a lot of power in a small package. Although I believe in less pollution, I cannot believe that a few 2-strokes ridden by people could put out anywhere near what we let industry put out in a few minutes. Additionally, there are ways to clean the 2-stroke up a lot.

[@thecaptain4648]

My dad had one, I wasn't allowed to ride it. He was looking out. Get that motor in the high RPM and everything changes.
