| Hehe, don't worry 'bout the pics .. That stuff happens you know (usually to me).
Nice looking bike though, even though Yamahas and Red (vehicles) aren't my thing..
Welcome aboard. | |

| I was trying to do the thing like where someone had melded human eyes into a Dobermann, looked creepy...
But I'm not that good with images, turned out alright though..
Just how many RD350s do you have, looks like the production line ended in your garden..

| Thanks 62! Bike looks sharp what year is that one? I like the mag style wheels . I am replacing foam and cover on seat do all the rd's have that hump where the air cleaner or battery is? Feels like sitting on a rock guessing you need to slide back on seat a little? | |

| Thanks chrome, the bike was registered in 81, probably manufactured in 80, its the last of the aircooled models sold in the uk (RD250F). The seat is an original giuliari although it has been re-covered. The slope at the front looks steeper on the photo than it actually is, you can sit on it like any normal seat... its rock hard though  The wheels are standard Yamaha for that year, they are much heavier than spoked rims but looked more modern back in the day.... Here she is with the standard seat fitted  | |
