This RD350 Bike is purely Legendary Bike. Once during my time I used I want to have again.
Box hill,used to go there regular in the 80's,great place,last time i went was 2007 on my GSX1400,then moved to Scotland,it was the place to go in the 80,s ,no coppers spoiling the fun,remember wheelies from the roundabout to the bend for some guys,great fun & some regular special kit in the car park, moto martin gixers,cbx1000's ,good times. That scooter is such a great engineering job,well done sir.
Sadly it’s not like that anymore, average speed camera along the main road and under cover police out most days ☹️
As a former 1964 Lambretta owner with a tweaked engine (the scooter, not the owner!), who had mates with RD250s and 350s, I am gobsmacked with how well he managed to integrate the RD350 gubbins into the limited space available. It looks like a factory special. I would LOVE to ride it!
Was done years ago in the 90s by Northern lads nothing new here..
Even I want 1 like this we do sell vintage Vespa and lambrettas. We are based in New Delhi India
I agree it has been done before but with them there were many problems .. rear hubs cracking … engine overheating etc etc I went through all the problem these guys had and eliminated them whilst building this …. This one is as perfect as I could build it … I have had 90 out of her and she does a wheelie in third gear …. Dangerous but brilliant to ride 👌👍
Think that one of the first that we saw on the scooter scene back then was a lad that worked for British Aerospace that was going to try and make a living out of Lambretta YPVS conversions...
👍👍👍👍👍 gasss sama #ajivas
Wanted one of these since i first saw Allan Rossa on his circa 1989. I still want one may be more so now having seen this. The mans a genius...
I knew I'd seen one before. I think it was in Performance Bikes magazine, must have been around '88 or 89.
Definitely wastes clean as this build absolutely stunning
Hi there. Kelvin here. The Rossa was the first but had a lot of inbuilt problems ie heating issues wheel hubs cracking etc etc. I built this by eliminating all of the original bikes problems. Trust me it wasn’t.easy but well worth the effort ....
Had a chat with the owner earlier on in the year. Nice bloke and took the time to tell me how much work ha had done. A stunning piece of kit.
The guy who built this does not know how amazing he is. What a fkin mad lad.
Can it do a Wheely? You bet it could! Ha ha ha. Incredible build! Everyone is going to want one like me! I love it! Great job!
It wheelies in 3rd gear if your not careful 👍👍👍
More like "is there a way to not do a wheelie?" LOL
Ah the smell of two stroke smoke, blue smoke curling behind the bike, reminds me of my glorious (not) misspent youth. Coaxing my BSA D14/4 Bantam to start. The sound of the twin expansion exhaust pipes crackling away, music to my ears. Great bike mate
Absolutely beautiful !! Should be called a Yambretta !!
What a terrifying piece of kit.
This bike is ridiculous,insane,absoluto crazy...
I WANT ONEE🤣🤣🤘🤘🤘!!!a hug from Spain!!!
The water buffalo next to it is driving me crazy melancholic, my first super bike (1974 750 GT two cycle)
That's the craziest vespa I have ever seen.
Lovely 😊 Back in the day I bought an old li 150 for a fiver...Good fun. Then when i turned 16 I bought a new fs1e (1973) We used to go to Rykers bar back then. Good old days 😃😃
OMG that guy is so clever.
These sort of people are of a certain breed & i think they are born clever.
Hi there I wasn’t born cleaver I just followed my Dad (bless him) when I was little around the garage when he was working on his car. The key to anything is think about the problem first then slowly it’ll come to you 👍
Greatest build ever.
Not my thing , but the man is a genius . Very well engineered. I had a couple of 400RDs and I think he is a brave man to ride this
What a job!! Greetings from Italy
Amazing build. Many years ago we built a Lambretta that could do 110 Kmph with a modified cyli Der of a air cooled RD350. This build is amazing.
I'm in love with that "Lambreha" (that's the way they pronounce it), if produced would sell by the thousands!
When I was 16, I owned a 1969 RD 350. Owned it for 3 years. Never had a license.
Stunning, like a young Burt Reynolds.
Misses laughed 😅
We have here a Japanese-Italian scooter with an English rider. The result is equal to a Happy Adventurer. Ride safe Mate.👍
I was pals with the lad next door but one back in 1970. He was 2 years older and had a succession of scooters and bikes. We went to Oliver's Mount meetings on Scarborough a couple of times and over the Yorkshire moors into the dales. It started with a Vespa and the a GP 200 Lamb to an AJS 350. I still ride a scooter every day but miss my 600F.
That guys Yambretta was friken awesome. Very well done sir. Real clean I like it
That’s superb - Love hearing about peoples custom builds. What a fantastic project 👌
I am not a fan of scooters but that is something special. The lev el of detail and the quality of finish is sublime Kudos to that lad.
Hi Garrett, you said it mate. It was so clean and stock looking, I bet it gets along. Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Don't ride bikes, but I want that little yellow beauty. Beautifully engineered👍
The ingenuity of people amazes me.
Absolute beauty!
There have been loads of similar conversions over the years, but this is up there with the best of them in my opinion.
Great engineering.
Yes, exactly. I like how compact everything was put together. Superb. 🙂
Love bikes and scooters. Two wheels together. 👍🏻
That must be a death trap. Brilliant!!
O'h wow .... as an 80's Rockabilly growing up, i went to College as an apprentice Carpenter, and on my course were a few scooter Boys .... great bunch of Lads ..Nick Trundle, Paul Taylor , Ian Sterling ....they all rode Scooters ,
Not my idea of Transport but i did appreciate the style ... and actually quite liked the Lambretta styling .....i ended up on the back of one,. with one of the Lads..which i think was Nick....scared the crap out of me , pulling the odd Wheelie ... i held on for dear life ...
i also Remember the RD's as well ........so what a collaboration of the two .....very impressive .
Genius british engineering and a work of art 👌
Hi there Kelvin here. Thank you for your kind comments
Helluva engineering project with great craftsmanship!
The man definitely has talent to build that in he’s shed.. I was with Sanj a couple of weeks ago when we saw this scooter 🛵. Having seen it in the flesh it’s truly amazing 🤩.
I also couldn’t believe the short time frame he finished it in too 😦
@@stoneautomotive I must admit I’m a big fan of the two stroke Yamaha’s but I never thought I’d see a 350 Scooter🛵
@@johndickens5370 same 😅
It's incredible, almost feel like the scooter was coming straight from factory.
he's liveing to ride..rideing to live.. bust of luck to him.. great set of wheels he's made....
He said it...YAMbretta...excellent work...probably the best custom mod I've ever seen in 40 odd years of biking...perfect engine for it...too much power really...but common sense on the throttle...I guess a 100MPH would be a bit frightening with Lambretta handling...amazing what some people can do with their brains and hands...I'm in awe
Kelvins going to take it for a spin with the cameras on for me so stay tuned 😬
very genious guy
It's like having a pizza sliced with a samurai sword...
Very well done Sir!
nice & amazing modification
totally a brilliant art of engineering.
This is tickling every single last one of my happy glands , I had a yammy fizzy in speeddblock yellow in 1977 and transitioned to lammy's in 1979 , ,, the work here is amazing 👏
Very clean build. Now that's a true sleeper.
What a bike, the detail,
The packaging, stowage,
The execution is flawless.
A lovely toy. Nice1 👍
That's gorgeous!
what a build...from a former rz and banshee owner that thing is scary deceiving ...respect on so many levels
As an RZ-350 owner, the thought of using full power on that tiny thing, is downright scary. I wonder if they ever do open it up?
@@dhajicek I open mine up at a near 70hp
It's the sort of 'sleeper' vehicle someone like Paul Newman would have loved. He used to put huge power into tiny vehicles like old VW beetles when he was a young actor and blow the doors off people to embarrass them in their hot rods. "We just got beat by a VW bug"
This is a factory-quality build and you could sell the plans and kits and vehicles. Due to the age of the motor, they were legal in the U.S. in the mid-1980s, it might be able to be street-legal even here in the states.
What a brilliant bit of engineering 👏👏 i don’t think the tonup boys will be catching that 😂
Great build - well thought out. There are quite a few RD engined Lambrettas out there - 250/500 Gammas too. Scooter technology has come on leaps and bounds over the last few years with Casa Lambretta(and others) offering kits to take standard engines from 40 to 80 bhp depending on requirements and reliability required. Twin disc kits and other reinforced parts - engine casings/tyres/shocks/anti-dives etc available to suit. There's some mental kit for Vespas available too.
I have the casa SSR Scuderia 265. Its 47.5 bhp so that's very close to a bog standard RD 300. Not quite there but almost. It actually has almost the exact bhp and torque figures as the old air cooled kawa KX 250. I rode a few of those as a kid and I think that's probaly enough power! I'm pretty sure the cylinder is based on a KTM 300 dirt bike cylinder so it will have that crazy on/off power delivery. Before the scuderia I had the casa SS hyper performance engine. That was scary fast and I only really pinned it two or three times. 90> on a lambretta is not for the faint hearted!
Your scooter is the thing of dreams for some people....superb ...very well done ...
Its just a piece of marvelous engineering very well done.
When he put that painted side panel down on the floor I was like noooooooooo. Could see he didn't want to. Great build 👍
Fabulous build.
Sleeper Scoota.
Inspirational build, love the concept and well thought out.
We've all said it, all done it (in our dreams) but Kevin actually did it.
Absolutely beautiful - how many more are you doing??
sorry Kelvin (name)
Kelvin has invited me to come see another project he’s working on, stay tuned 😬
Ha! I saw somehing just like this about 20 years ago in Back Street Heroes magazine. It looked totally stock-just TWO little pipes poking out. How fast? 'Dunno,' said the owner, 'The speedo only goes to 90'. On 10" wheels? YE GODS!😲
i can see he really loves this type of work
I clicked on this because I owned an RD 350 way back in my youth of the 1980s. I did a number of upgrades but it was no where close to the beauty and quality on your build, You sir have built a work of Art!!
this is fantastic ,im not a scooter fan but this is an awesome build !!!!!!!!!!! anything thats a true custom build deserves respect love it !!!!!!!!!!!
Very well said!
I agree, this is an incredible custom build, the radiator cooling installation is itself outstanding, let alone all the other wonderfully thought out details that go to make up this fascinating build.
love the thinking out of the box,most people build the same as everyone else same engine/same wheels same interior,i always built cars in my own style who wants to be the same as everyone else ? great work ,dare to be differant !!!!!!!!!!
AHHR mate you are in a different league! Absolutely fabulous 🤩 please share this creation with Yamaha now! Love it, it's top of the hit parade! Want one.
He's a genius!!! Big engine in a scooter legend. I've had both. Thanks for sharing it. Congratulations.
The motor is from a RD350LC (Liquid Cooled), my friend had one and my other friend had the air cooled RD350, both were beating the crap out of my modded RD400. Awesome build.
Take care.
RD400 was assembled with smaller carburetors to restrict power. My pops had a '75 350cc that almost killed him.
Absolutely fantastic build. I had a non YPVS 350LC and loved it. I also have an affection for the curvy lines and status of the scooter. Your build offers the best of both and is a thing of beauty 💛🖤
This build is absolutely mental, your a genius.
There is not a single thing on this build that I don't like. Is this the only "Yambretta" in existance I wonder?
Top work Kelvin perfectly executed.
Great video thanks for this👍
Hi ... Kelvin here .... there are a few around but with this one I made sure all the problems encountered with the other builds back in the 80's were corrected with this one .... so no overheating and no hub cracks to name a couple ....
Man that gentleman is clever’
All those bikes look awesome but this is a work of art.
Remarkable build. Beautifully considered and resolved. 69hp is probably enough! 😳
69HP plus the gentle YPVS delivery of it....just about enough... 😱😎👍
@@thefreedomguyuk 🤣
The utter insanity of this boggles my mind.
I used to have an rd350lc and it was scarily quick.
I am not a religious man but, Oh my God that is cool.
Anything with Yamaha speedblocks looks fantastic but that is next level.Love your R1 as well but the scooter is just beautiful
Sanj owns the lovely R1, I was on the old gixxer 😅
without a doubt one of the coolest customs I have ever seen. Thank you
Well done Kevin has to be up there with the best .hours of work certainly worth it once again well done
That thing is mental. Beautifully done.
awesome, absolutely stunning & scary in equal amounts
Ive seen a few beautiful creations in my time but a Kenny roberts lambretta takes some beating! Love it!
...what can I say... AMAZING!!!!!!! THANKS A LOT TO MAKE MY LIVE HAPPIER!!
I'll share the video. It's a must to see it. Great job!!
Wow! Stunning piece of bike art. Swing arm is just amazing.
Absolutely incredible
Clever stuff 😉.
That was a nice GT750M that came into shot too.
This build looks absolutely brilliant! Keep doing what you do!👍
This is bonkers , love it.
Missed opportunity, calling it the Yambretta. Beautiful work mate.
Already been done. About 20 years ago. People on the scooter scene have been putting RD engines in Lambretta’s for a long time. Great on a straight but poor ground clearance
Lamaha ?
It's the very definition of a hot rod; tiny, good-looking vehicle with a motor way too big for it 🙂
You want to see the one with an RGV 500 ENGINE then
@@souljahshocky I'm scared
it looks so wonderful manafactured
Never been a fan of hairdryers but it was well done.
how scooters should have been, very clever piece of engineering, all for £5k - unbelievable- top marks that man.
That is a beautifully done build. Looks like it was meant to be. Lots of non-Lambretta RZ350 and RZV500 stuff on my channel. Thanks for posting this one.
Wow! What an engineering job! Hats off to you!
2 storks is life 🇧🇷
I am not a scooter fan at all but that is one of the nicest conversions I’ve ever seen .. 👍
Agree 😎
Good engines , I love Yamaha, I had 4 DTR s in the 90s my mate had a DT LC engine looks same just bigger, I had a YZ 250 with same style that black an white strip
Insane, that's one way of saying what a clever sleeper build, thanks for showing. I had a RG250 Gamma in the day, love those twin 2strokes!
Aww. Cute. My grandmother would love one.
Beautiful work Friend! 👍 Well done 🚀
That is a serious bit of kit. Congratulations sir.
Take that Rockers! Sure to smoke any old Triumph!! Pun intended!
Great job Kelvin! I'm not into scooters but i would love this in my garage, the inginuity and quality of workmanship is amazing 👍
Well Thank you sir much appreciated👍👍👍
@@KelvinPaul-zy8eo you're welcome, credit where it's due, do you have any other projects on the go, if so I look forward to seeing them? 👍
@@KelvinPaul-zy8eo thanks, will do 👍
Beautiful creation by Kelvin, fit and finish is amazing. 👍
Awesome!!!!!! I had a hopped, up Li150 and more than a few RD350/400's. This is a dream!
Absolutely stunning build.
Only criticism, and it's not a criticism of the bike, just the builder understating his talent, but you should put on the video title that the engine comes from a RD350LC YPVS, rather than the air cooled RD350 as the title says.
