There is a video (on TH-cam ) in which rd 350 competes with hayabusa in a 1/4 mile in India. You can see the way Rd beats the crap out of hayabusa till almost 300 meters.

I spent around 10 years touring all over south india on an RD. When I started out, the bike was terribly unreliable and I knew next to nothing about repair or about the RD. There wasn't an option but to carry pretty much everything from spare cables and jets to a CDI kit. One side of the saddle bag was full of tools and such, the thrice-damned magnet locker tool included. As years passed by and I learnt more and more, I did up the bike to be unwaveringly reliable - the last 3-4 years I never even carried a spanner along. The bike used to run just fine, all day every day. Looking back, the acquired knowledge was of three parts essentially - knowledge of motorcycle operation and repair in general, specific RD350 skills, and last but not the least, knowing where to get genuine spare parts from. You can have an ocean of the first two skills, but if you don't have the last one - you're still fucked my friend. I still remember that exact position of the coil plate where the timing was just perfect - slightly retarded - for the highway but was not the sharpest in traffic. Used to ride out of city feeling ever so mildly unsettled with the bike's performance iin traffic, knowing fully well that I will be compensated for the next few hundred kms with splendid highway performance. I like watching RD videos and feeling nostalgic but I doubt I will ever own an RD again. I have an Z900 and am pretty happy with that. There is more, much more, of an adrenalin rush for sure, but yeah it doesn't have that soul stirring quality of a well tuned RD. Well, I had my soul stirred for 10 years, so I'm content with that. Hell.
Great power the silencer sound is like music to the ears. It was very rare mechanics could tune n repair it right parts u used to get it at chor bazar really misss the bike.
I was lucky to own this machine for more than 3/3.5 years. Was forced to sell it after had a really big crash. But when ever I hear the word RD350, I travel back in time and live my RD days again.
Just realized the intake revs have a sweet, nearly inline 4 scream. Oh how I miss this baby. I hold the RD up there with the MT-01 and the Crossplane R1. Absolutely wonderful sounding bikes!
Back in 1979 my girlfriend wanted an RD 350B it was an immaculate purple paint bike and the guy said it had a Stan Stephan's engine, yea right. One ride of the thing, it was unreal. I rode a Kawasaki 500H1B and this thing was as quick with the front wheel going airborn in 1st 2nd and 3rd yet reed valve made it trickle around just fine.

I thought the bhp figures were a bit on the low side, but looked on Wikipedia and apparently India had a 27bhp and 30.5bhp version where the Europeans had the full power 39bhp version. Lovely bike by the way.
Your RD is on RAW! I picked up a 1975 RD250 over the weekend, it's in rough shape and I'm not sure I want to go thru the effort to restore it, might be better to mod the Hell out of it and keep it brutal. I'm interested in what mods are popular in Bombay. Ive shipped XS forks to customers in India for a dual disc setup, that seems to be the most popular upgrade. What did you do to increase the HP?
I don't believe that you uprated RD 350 to 39 BHP. The initial models came with 39 bhp. I had purchased it new, When it became available in India. I also had a RD 90, which I purchased second hand in Bardoli, Gujrat. Riding it home ( 800 kms) was fun. Its engine sceaming at top of the pitch was music without comparison. But this was something like 35/36 years before. Sadly I am an old man now, living on past glories. But I had a lot many exotic bikes of the day and had fun riding them all over India. list of the bikes include AJS 500 cc single, a Matchless 350, Triumph Tiger 500 twin of 1952 it used to take me to 95 mph., NSU Max 250 single ( this was a real gem, it's response on the road was exilarating.) A BMW 650. a Velocette LE and a lot many. But Roads in those days were not as good.
