The YVPS Yamaha RD500LC is a high-performance, two-stroke sports motorcycle, produced between 1984 and 1986, using a liquid cooled V4 engine with power valves to give a wider power band with four Mikuni carburettors. The transmission is by a six-speed close ratio gearbox with a wet clutch. The frame is made from box section steel and there are twin discs on the front with single on the rear. Different countries had different spec, the Japanese version (RZV500R) being the most altered. This iconic 2-stroke, was at the forefront in the 1980's as one of the must have GP replica bikes.
HCP was built with a Harris frame in 1986 by Steve Rhodes Motorcycles of Bradford for Stuart Kotchie, he sold in 1987 to Jeffery Spittle, then Jeremy Boulter in 1995, our vendor bought it in 2013, since when it has been in storage. There is a dyno on file with a max power of 111.9 BHP.
The 1996 MOT shows a mileage of 7500, the subsequent ones have no mileage shown. At some point it appears to have been down the road.
