@@billybarr7443 🤣 My mate had two. I think one was a single and the other a twin. Used to take the piss out of him mercilessly. 🤣 And what was the Honda 350 four stroke thing that came a bit later? I had another mate who got one of those, thinking it would be like the RD! Oh dear, talk about disapointment.
I was really born too late wish I was a 70s-80s kid been able to ride an rd250 legally at the age of 17 is just crackers Ik this is the 350 but still better days man
Beautifully kept machine and them expansion chambers are some of the best I've heard sounds so wonderfully crisp but sounded like it still had a bit more to come 👍💯👌
Ohh that sound, that sweet sweet sound that only comes from a 2 stroke caning it on a hot summer's afternoon leaving that distinctive smell of 2 stroke rising up through the air. 🏍️
@@zach5994 RDs have autolub so it won't as the oil pump stops with the engine. Different on a primix racing bike like TZs or YZs On them you run a very rich pilot jet to prevent it sizing up on closed throttle.
@@camperp195 I'm not sure Castrol R was used in 2 strokes as it is a vegetable-based oil not suitable for 2 strokes unless as a petroil mix and not sure this would be the case as it can gum rings up though I'm only too happy to be corrected, that said there is a synthetic oil available today that has that beautiful aroma.
@@nightster6378 i used it as a petrol mix on all 5 of my elsies,due to the fact i always had issues with oil pumps failing or the cable snapping,always carried a plastic bottle of it strapped to the grab rail,didnt have any issues with gummed rings either,maybe i was runnng them too lean back in the day 🤷♀️
@@camperp195 Hi Peter this is good to know, by the time LC's appeared I had moved on to CBX's, etc so 4 strokes. Today I have a few 2 strokes a 750 H2B, GT750J, RD400, TS250, YAS1, and a few more British and Italian. A few years back I contacted Castrol's Historical Vehicles guy as I was considering using synthetics in the gearbox's and would it be fine to run them on synthetic 2 stroke oil. His recommendation was not to especially in the gearbox as it could cause clutch slip, especially on the 750s and could probably leak past seals even though I had just rebuilt the engine. I asked him of 2 stroke oil some company produces that smells like Castrol R, he didn't know, I suggested putting some in the tank and he said back in the day some people did do this but recommended not to as it would gum the piston rings and slides in the carburettor and with the absence of a non-throttle return cable on these bikes this could become an issue should a slide stick during deceleration. He is also a biker and rides an FJ1200 and a few others. Saying this I am not doubting you using it.
Power is 62 HP. Now for torque you shouldn't expect too much from a small 2T engine and that's why they didn't even bother to mention. By the way, the RD350 was made for speed and not for hill climbing. 😉
Esa moto es el sueño de todo 40ton yocporclo menos 😁 que belleza de moto
I had one of them. Used to smash the tail light wheeling over Chelsea Bridge. They were £21.😂
Stop telling lies lad you had a superdream 250

What an idiot...doesn't mention results.
Toda una máquina, solo para expertos.

Awesome sound..
H E L M E T BRO

Thumbs down, could of told us what it made in horse power.
What wheels are those ?
k100 wheels
Woher kann ich die Verkleidung bestellen ? Kühler kappen und bugspoiler ?
В России ! Если хочешь напиши в личные сообщения номер телефона напишу!
And the answer is ????? How many HP did it make - for crying out loud !!!!

Schitterend!
Those heads dude! 😂
Lomejo es una moto Yamaja
Don't we get to see the figures?😟
Bro life

I had a 350lc with full Rickman fairing, bike colour white and blue. What a bike.
one fast rascal for its time and probably even today!!
That's the liquid cooled version right? Is that not a RZ in the States?
2T is dead???never!
Que ronco bonito!!!
2stroke engine💪💪💪
I miss my Rd 400 it was green
So what were the results?
Ohh that sound, that sweet sweet sound that only comes from a 2 stroke caning it on a hot summer's afternoon leaving that distinctive smell of 2 stroke rising up through the air. 🏍️
Cadê a porra do resultado?💩
Another 1/2 story, where are the torque and Hp figures? That was the hole purpose of watching the video.
Crap video, bet he drives at 50kph on the road if that...... ride it like u stole it!!!!
Voll der scheiss Sound
🐢
I had many of these bikes in all formats
Stop telling lies lad you had a superdream
45bhp
SO WHAT DID WE LEARN FROM THAT ????
How to kill a 2 stroke.........rev it ,then switch off ignition with closed throttle?
@@zach5994 Not enough on idle or pilot jets though, it's a bad habit that I see too often?

Smokey and they banned it
So what were the results? That's why I am here!
62 hp... It's in the video description
Just like my first bike (I had fully faired and microns) wish I had never sold it now 😭
It's OK Jonathan my mates got stolen. He then got a 250 which was nice but no 350.
Stop telling lies lad you had a superdream lad
2 stroke sound is eargasm
Best use of gasoline ever.
Gone are the days of 2 strokers...the days where we would hear the "sound of music" on the road...
And the smell of castrol R
I still frequently hear them the last time being Saturday. Nice!

This bike really superb...legend bike
The little monster..

@@Motocicleiros Torque is also very necessary.....not only the PS.
