Although in a capacity class dominated by mundane ride-to-work bikes, Yamaha's sporty RD200 was guaranteed to appeal to the commuter determined to have some fun on the way to the office. Like all Yamaha two-stroke twins, the RD200 was a willing performer, its 22bhp capable of propelling the nimble lightweight to over 85mph, and like its YCS3/YCS5 predecessors the RD employed a combined electric starter/generator. Precise and predictable handling, a lively motor, strong brakes and reasonable fuel economy (for a two-stroke) were just a few of its characteristics that appealed to Bike magazine back in 1974.
This RD200 currently displays a total of 17,007 miles on the odometer and is offered for restoration, sold as seen. A spare fuel tank and side panel are included in the sale. The Yamaha also comes with an old-style V5 Registration Document issued in 1988 when a Ms Lisa Slade became the registered keeper. The machine is HPI clear other than colour change (from orange to red) in 1983. Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves regarding this motorcycle's condition, completeness, and authenticity prior to bidding.
