1976 Yamaha RD400C. Registration number OBU 573P. Frame number 1A3-004294. Engine number 1A3-004294.
Sold with the V5C and key.
In terms of 1970s middleweights, the Yamaha RD400 was the most desirable in terms of performance, handling and usability. It was also the best-looking bike out there by a country mile.
The two-stroke parallel twin has 40bhp and a top speed of 109mph. The RD had its stroke increased, needing new crankcases which required the factory to re-tool in order to produce it. The new machine also featured a rubber-mounted engine to reduce vibration, as well as new wheels and brakes.
OBU is an original machine that has had the tank and side panels repainted and a new seat. The vendor states that it rides very well.
