    A family friend had this exact bike. He was wise enough to never let me ride it.

    Bike was made the year I was born.Almost 51 years old, while looking brand new, and running like its brand new. The bubble gum blue paintjob with the graphics looks amazing. I love that it has an electric starter and kickstarter. I thought they only came with a kick starter. This bike has very rare and unheard of low mileage. I had no clue that Yamaha made RD 125's and RD 200's. Enjoy your day at work. Be safe. ML&R.

    God bless the 2 stroke! Reminds me of my little Suzuki GT185 twin the way it started, just breath on that starter button and she's runnin😄

    Those are virtually identical to the Yamaha RX 100 and 115 my dad had , RIP. Those bikes are BEAST with porting, tuning, and upgraded exhaust. My dads RX could do 100mph, did 85mph up hills, did 0 to 60mph in just over 4 seconds, and best part was there is so much power the bike power wheelies as you change gears from 1st to 2nd, and even to 3rd gear. You could backflip it just by revving it in 1st gear. You can get 135ccm 175cc, and 200cc block kits for the RX too, which can do 11 sec quarter mile at 115mph.

    I had 2 of those back in the summer of 85, had one for parts and one ran, no doubt if it is a fast little bike.

    These smaller 2-stroke twins are a sweet spot. This one specifically has some snap and is tuned correctly.

    I knew a guy in the 80's that had an RD250 and it was faster than my Honda XL125. I've never been disappointed in any of the RD models performances.

    The RD250 is fairly rare, I see way more of these little 200s! Most people went ahead and bought the 350 instead of 250, so they are like hen's teeth. As a matter of fact, when I had my CS5 200, my dad got a RD250 but within a week traded it for a RD350 instead. Which is not surprising. If you find an RD250, you should also buy a lottery ticket. You won't find them.

    I had a '72 but it was not called the RD200, it was a CS5. I think the '73 was called that too. I think they changed the name to RD200 in '74 to capitalize on the popularity of the RD350 and to a lesser degree, the RD250. The '72 like I had a different stripe pattern, mine was purple and white. It oiled-fouled the sparks plugs all the time. And you could not seem to revive them once oiled. Had to buy new ones. Nickel and dimed us to death.

      ​​@@RobertDoolin-sy4ieThey have 900cc 2 stroke streetbikes? I've never heard of one before. I know, back in the day, several motorcycle companies made 2 stroke 750 streetbikes. I bought a 1985 Yamaha 2 stroke RZ 350 Kenny Roberts Street Bike from Ken, a little over a year ago, restored from the frame up, in Yellow/Black, with the vintage old school Yamaha block patterns, that I always loved so much. They have a video of my bike, with Ken taking it for a test ride on this channel. 1985 was the last year that 2 stroke streetbikes were allowed to be sold in the USA. The bike runs like a raped ape! Take Care, Brother.
