The Yamaha RD400 evolved from the earlier RD350, gaining more capacity, more torque, and improved equipment
Produced from 1976 to 1979, it was the final development of Yamaha’s air-cooled RD line before the arrival of the water-cooled RD350LC/ RZ generation
Many enthusiasts consider the RD400 one of the purest expressions of the classic Japanese two-stroke: simple, lightweight, mechanically raw, and immensely entertaining delivering performance far beyond what its modest size suggested
This, matching numbers, machine is a UK bike from new, registered on 09/ 08/ 1977, and is an older restoration, presenting well in Kenny Roberts Speed Block livery
Owned by our vendor for some six years, he has decided to reduce his collection of two-strokes and describes this bike as running and riding well
A good opportunity to purchase a smart RD400, where you can enjoy the smell of hot two-stroke oil and hear the engine crackle on the overrun
Supplied with a current V5C and correctly classed as Historic
