No motorcycle of recent times has achieved 'cult' status to the same extent as Yamaha's legendary 'LC'. Launched at the Tokyo Show in 1980, the RD250/350LC marked the introduction of water cooling to Yamaha's range of potent middleweight two-strokes while also bringing mono-shock rear suspension and – in the 350's case - twin disc front brakes to the package for the first time. The 350LC continued the Yamaha tradition of giant-killing performance established by the air-cooled RD350 and RD400, and although its circa 110mph top speed was inferior to that of the larger, multi-cylinder opposition, over twisty going a well ridden 350LC could show almost anything the way home. Its capacity for easy personalisation remains an essential part of the LC's appeal; few remained standard for long, a state of affairs that has led to the few totally stock survivors becoming highly prized. A donation to the Museum, this RD350LC currently displays a total of 11,935km (7,416 miles) on the odometer. Although non-standard is some minor respects (headlamp brackets and mirrors, for example) and carrying a few 'battle scars', it appears otherwise remarkably original, with almost all the original fastenings apparently un-butchered, making it an excellent candidate for restoration. There are no documents with this machine.
