1973 Yamaha Rd350


Recommended Posts

Here we have an awesome 1973 Yamaha RD350. This has been my project since 2015. Now that it is complete I am offering it up for someone to really enjoy it.

The entire engine was just rebuilt and tuned by Nick @ Vintage Smoke in New Jersey. He was trained by one of the best RD guys, John Ritter before he retired. Above in the pictures is a receipt of the engine work, details and prices. The MZB ignition, carbs and exhaust were supplied by me brand new in box and installed at time of rebuild. 


This past year I went through the entire bike and pretty much replaced everything on it before sending it out for the engine. I have close to $9,000 into restoring the bike to this condition. When I got it in 2015, it had sat behind a garage since 1991 not running. The last 2 pictures are what it looked like the night I rescued it. Below is a list of all items replaced.

Brand new front and rear tires.
Front wheel bearings and seals replaced with all balls kit.
Front fender sand blasted and powder coated black.
New front brake pads and stainless steel brake line (Not installed but included with the sale).
