I'm also 55, would go back to my early biking days again, just too many traffic copper's back in the 80's which was the only down side! Massive fan of the King since I was 13 and managed to meet him at the 1984 transatlantic races at Donington.
I had a Kenny Roberts replica 250 back in 1982 when i was 18. Ihave missed that bike evry day since I sold it. I wouldn't have another bike again though as the roads and traffic is not the same nowadays.
Rode one of my mate's when I was still on L plates in 1985, perhaps the greatest experience ever on a bike even though I owned several big four strokes, including an FZR 1000 exup and a GPZ1000 after passing my test about 6 months later.
Wow, that brings back memorys! I had a blue and white one with Allspeeds, stage 3 porting and open bellmouths. Lethal fun and noisy as hell. Loved it to bits!
Christ that lc looks fantastic and the microns sound amazing, yes I'm another biker in my mid forties , I had a 350 with the early small can allspeeds , two other 350s with small can microns and a 31k powervalve with the small can microns, great times, seizures, races, crashes, 6 month ban, more adrenaline than an a&e department, made me realise I need to buy another , , re-live the glory days , , thanks for posting the video mate, hope to see you on the road making smoke. Hallelujah praise yamaha strokers
Love it! I was an original LC boy, had 5 altogether in all colours except the white with red stripes, had microns on my '82 and had this colour on my last one. Remember the saying - "LC? Thrashed, crashed or nicked !" Original early 80s hooligan bike , i can never forget that up and down burble from the pipes. Still got a great big hole in my kneecap coming off an LC lol
Bloody marvellous sound, up there with the Rolls Royce Merlin at full belt. Quality. Good looking bike too, very envious now, if only I could go back to 1987 and not sell mine....
Back in the early eighties I was riding a Honda CX500, my first encounter with the RD350LC was disastrous for me, The RD350LC rider was two up, riding around our towns one-way system, he left me for dead. My poor CX500 never stood a chance, so here I am in 2011, still remembering that day very well, never forgetting it!, except now I smile about it, and have much admiration for this exceptional bike. You have a beauty here! Im very envious... :-))
exactley the same paint work small can microns as my first lc back in 1985 i was 21 brings back memories watching this wish ide still got it now UUJ 203Y i can shut my eyes an listen to this and go back to good old 1985 superb
Sweet memories of my 1982 Kenny Robers 350LC. These are the bikes that started the demise of themselves, ironically (frenetically fast two strokes). I remember the police simply could not catch them with their BMW bikes and Ford Ganadas. I know I never intended nor did I stop for the police and chased at least 2 dozen times and never caught (no police helicopters then). For young riders to see your bike get to 70mph so quickly should tell them that fast bikes didn't start with R1's (love them too) Thanks for posting buddy.
Thanks, Most of the LC fans love the original Microns, inc myself. This is why I bought them some 16 years ago. Occasionally they come out to play but too be honest they are simple too loud.
What a bike, wanted one but my dad made my buy a z250 scorpion instead, that lead to a z1000j2 so the outcome was not too bad. Great sound with those microns
i´ve got a big, big smile in my face as i have seen your vid and i have heard this awsome sound. Great!! If i had no ears i could smile in a circle, lol. That gives me the creeps. Wonderfull bike with a awsome Sound.
I had 7 lc's the last was an 87, 250 with small end microns, I never owned a powervalve but had a 350 with a stage 3 terry becket tune and swarbric pipes would wop the arse out of gs1000's and cb900's, 14 mpg and got be banned for 28 days but boy those were brilliant days. Now everything is clinical and boring, I would love to relive them days when you could be a holligan hi-tec trainers,skin tight jeans and a MA1 flying jacket the atire to go out and duel on the queens highway. The noise wether with microns or allspeeds will always make me smile but also a tear to my eye as these lovely bikes are all but gone from the 1000's built.I will in time get another so watch out in them mirrors because "i WILL BE BACK" at 47 years old feeling 17 again !
As a 16 year old in the mid-eighties on a fizzy me and all my mates wanted one of these they’ve aged well still look and sound the nuts...btw it’s in lovely condition.
Yes totally agree, I had them on my X7 and my KH125, when one of the X7 pipe welds split I went to the Codnor Light Fabrications factory which was about 10 miles away from where I lived and they made a new pipe and fitted it for me. Great customer service! Unfortunately a copper who lived two doors away was not so happy.
My father had 8 Yamah RD350 LC back when he was younge, all bought brand new and I did a reg check on all of them recently and not one of them has been taxed or MOT scince the 90s
Damn , you just took me back to 83 , WAU 460Y , same bike , same colour, bought from granby motors, Ilkeston, 750s couldn’t keep up, it was ahead of its time! Why on earth did I sell it?🤷🏼♂️
A mate of mine owned the RD350B back in 1985 and my cousin had an RD 250C with 350 barrels. Would be worth a fortune now if you could find one for sale.
I sold my 375LC last year to my mate as i'd let it get in a right old state. He done his best & got it up & running then sold it to a dealer & got himself a Slingshot with the money. I now have a 1985 Gsxr750H. I owned my LC for 20yrs
Superb! I had an early white/ blue one, carb redrilled as per factory instructions, K&N air filter and re-jetted. Standard pipes though, just took the wadding out. Fitted a Rickman top half faring with drop bars, steering damper, Dunlop tires (SP100 ?) a really pointy tire, almost triangular in section, made to leaning waay over! Saw 115 without going to full throttle first time out with the faring, heading down to Dover from Folkestone. Next day it was stolen. :'¬(
Sweet as, & Right on the money, Exactly as an RD 350 LC should sound, Very nice bike indeed. Only the old can microns can give it that distictive sound.. ;-)
@Scootertuner1000 I had a spell of loving the GT 380 Ram Air with 3-1 pipes on. Just loved the sound, I myself ended buying the GT750 Kettle, loved that bike, except it loved Petrol too much. Wished I could get my hands back on it now... More than once I used to pretend I was Barry Sheen.. ha ha as you do or did... happy times :-)

The greatest bike i ever owned. I loved it. Wish i could get a new one again. Absolutely magic bike
ever made
Got one now in Kenny Roberts colours with old school microns. Love it. Aged 55 but feeling 18.
I'm also 55, would go back to my early biking days again, just too many traffic copper's back in the 80's which was the only down side! Massive fan of the King since I was 13 and managed to meet him at the 1984 transatlantic races at Donington.

Those 350lc where always mental, bloody love that sound.
and better than the power valve
This gives me the same nostalgia goose bumps as when I view the 80's music videos. The same remark goes here. The 80's, a truly remarkable era.
Take me back there I say !! 😎
Back in 1989 I had the rd 400 Dx with microns, ...removable baffles, the neighbours loved the sweet sweet music!😀, even tho they didnt realise it!
Lol - they were and still are offensive
Rode one of my mate's when I was still on L plates in 1985, perhaps the greatest experience ever on a bike even though I owned several big four strokes, including an FZR 1000 exup and a GPZ1000 after passing my test about 6 months later.
the sweetest sound that takes me back to my teenage years
Wow, that brings back memorys! I had a blue and white one with Allspeeds, stage 3 porting and open bellmouths. Lethal fun and noisy as hell. Loved it to bits!
Damn!! That gave me goose bumps! Brought back 30 year ago memories. I can smell the Bardahl in my mind. Thanks for posting. Sweet sweet sound......

That's how I remember them. Great days......
Love these 350 Yamaha,engine noise was brilliant.I'd love one now!!!
Love it! I was an original LC boy, had 5 altogether in all colours except the white with red stripes, had microns on my '82 and had this colour on my last one.
Remember the saying - "LC? Thrashed, crashed or nicked !"
Original early 80s hooligan bike , i can never forget that up and down burble from the pipes. Still got a great big hole in my kneecap coming off an LC lol
Ahh that sweet sound of a 350lc with microns! Lovely!😎
With the smell of Castrol R mmmmmm
That's a gun battle explosion 🔥
The bottom line for a true Petrol head is... The love for the two stroke engine, greetings from Bilbao Spain!
Bloody marvellous sound, up there with the Rolls Royce Merlin at full belt. Quality.
Good looking bike too, very envious now, if only I could go back to 1987 and not sell mine....
I've got 3 of them now, will never sell them. a true classic icon of my 80's
I loved my 250 LC. Such a wonderful machine... and so expencsve to buy these days!
My mate since we were 17
53 now...Rich.
Still got that bike.
Back in the early eighties I was riding a Honda CX500, my first encounter with the RD350LC was disastrous for me, The RD350LC rider was two up, riding around our towns one-way system, he left me for dead.

Takes me back to the 80s.
My last LC was identical to this. All speeds sound great on them
Brings back memory’s, I had a rd 250 coffin tank , but my x7had microns , sound from the past thumbs up 👍
Beautiful.. Brings back many memories.. Still my favourite bike of the time
Awsome sound and looks, wish I still had my LC! Thank you for sharing your video. 👍
made me smile. If had an Elsie for 14 years
I had one exactly the same as this including the microns. Some great memories on that bike but I'm amazed I actually survived.
Had one in the same colours Stan Stephens tuned an absolute flying machine.
That sound I’m crying from the memories they bring
Lovely sound from the microns, worth a small fortune now.
my hearts pounding just watching it, By far the best bike i had the pleasure of owning.
exactley the same paint work small can microns as my first lc back in 1985 i was 21 brings back memories watching this wish ide still got it now UUJ 203Y i can shut my eyes an listen to this and go back to good old 1985 superb

Loved the RD350`s
Thanks,

Occasionally they come out to play but too be honest they are simple too loud.
Had a Mars Bar coloured RD350 LC with Microns and. The sound and power band was absolutely awesome!
the best pipes ever i had one on my 125 lc and ar 125 dead until 5 thousand revs then the powerband kicked in fantastic
That idle is a sound to love and fear!
Wow! brings back memories off showing off pulling a wheely on a corner in surbitan, mad powerband! ... a bike of its age, spescial....
My best ever days back in the 80’s
What a bike, wanted one but my dad made my buy a z250 scorpion instead, that lead to a z1000j2 so the outcome was not too bad. Great sound with those microns
i´ve got a big, big smile in my face as i have seen your vid and i have heard this awsome sound. Great!!

Your RD sounds real good bro. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.

The same bike I had colour microns jets an all,,2 yrs of fantastic memories.
Sweet so sweet. Beautiful bike
Takes me straight back to the 80s
I would love a RD350. Think they are awesome. Great vid.
dat 2 stroke sound. love it so much
I love Classical music, and that is about as classical as it gets :)
As a 16 year old in the mid-eighties on a fizzy me and all my mates wanted one of these they’ve aged well still look and sound the nuts...btw it’s in lovely condition.
Arrrr, if I close my eyes and turn the sound up, I can imagine my mates coming down the road right now.... Good old days, good old sounds.
One of (if not THE) most iconic looking bikes of the latter century. And oh that sound.........
The best sounding pipes EVER!!
Yes totally agree, I had them on my X7 and my KH125, when one of the X7 pipe welds split I went to the Codnor Light Fabrications factory which was about 10 miles away from where I lived and they made a new pipe and fitted it for me. Great customer service! Unfortunately a copper who lived two doors away was not so happy.
My father had 8 Yamah RD350 LC back when he was younge, all bought brand new and I did a reg check on all of them recently and not one of them has been taxed or MOT scince the 90s
Was probably eventually stolen or the bike destined for the race track.
Very nice bike with a lovely sound. Cheers.
love that noise and the smell of 2 stroke in the morning
Damn , you just took me back to 83 , WAU 460Y , same bike , same colour, bought from granby motors, Ilkeston, 750s couldn’t keep up, it was ahead of its time! Why on earth did I sell it?🤷🏼♂️
Sounds great amazing cheers
. Had a set fitted to my kh250 triple, Fantastic sound
I loved the air cooled version of the RD350 with the classic bike styling it used to be a fab bike probably still is today 👌
A mate of mine owned the RD350B back in 1985 and my cousin had an RD 250C with 350 barrels. Would be worth a fortune now if you could find one for sale.
A piece of history!!
mine had allspeeds! when i was two up it would wheelie in 3rd when it hit the power band at 7500rpm! god i wish i could turn back time!
great vid.
Whaouuu . Very lovely noise 👍👍👍👍👍
I sold my 375LC last year to my mate as i'd let it get in a right old state. He done his best & got it up & running then sold it to a dealer & got himself a Slingshot with the money. I now have a 1985 Gsxr750H. I owned my LC for 20yrs
That sounds soooo good 👍
Best sounding bike i've heard.

I had 2 back in the early 80s, i could never afford the microns, great bikes
Superb! I had an early white/ blue one, carb redrilled as per factory instructions, K&N air filter and re-jetted. Standard pipes though, just took the wadding out. Fitted a Rickman top half faring with drop bars, steering damper, Dunlop tires (SP100 ?) a really pointy tire, almost triangular in section, made to leaning waay over! Saw 115 without going to full throttle first time out with the faring, heading down to Dover from Folkestone.
Next day it was stolen. :'¬(
Sweet as,

Exactly as an RD 350 LC should sound,
Very nice bike indeed.
