The RDs were dominating their market in the day, and these 2-strokes have a very passionate following for good reason. Because they followed the RD400 production line there had to be changes to the motor to fulfil the new emissions regulations, so liquid cooling was added and displacement was reduced. Despite this, the updated range benefited from the years of Yamaha and development experience.
There is not a lot that visually separates the 250 and the 350 models which was great for leaner drivers who were happy to have their 250 look like the bigger capacity model. The 250 got a single disc brake up front, and a claimed 35bhp to the 47bhp of the 350. All RDs are lookers, and this example is an absolutely stunning pearl white with the red stripes and decals. These still look the part on the roads today. The RD is a bike that likes to be opened up, revved and clicked through it’s creamy 6-speed gearbox quickly to keep the engine buzzing in it’s snappy power-band. The RD is a bike that is eager to please, and is great though the corners, with a planted feel. The single disc up front is more than enough for the lightweight 250. This 1982 RD250 is in great condition, with a good mileage. This bike does have some signs of age, with some wear marks on the tank and other areas, but it has only 2 registered keepers, and is mechanically sweet as a nut. It is in all original condition, with original pipes. This makes the price an absolute steal, and this will be without a doubt snapped up very quickly. Rev the RD through the back roads and it’s obvious why it has such a following. It was loved on release because you got big bike performance out of something so light. Take it for a spin and that power band will instantly take you back. Absolute Steal for Condition! This will go quickly!-Why Steel City Classics?
