Had one in 1977, I was 13 and had to push it started. Not enough ass to kick it!
I bought a new 75 TM250, it was an eye opener especially after owning a Honda SL125
Ignition advance, Watson, ignition advance...
Very narrow power band as I remember.
A handful of what?
Terrible design just look at the position of that exhaust on a dirtbike. Absolutely hilarious.
By 74 the weren’t really a handful …. They were actually quite good .Same as the 400 ….
Nice

That's a real tidy looker, shame about the front fender.
At different times I had a T250 and a GT250. I'd have to say that overall the T250 was the better bike .... but that's just my opinion and you know what opinions are like ๐
It was a great bike in its day a friend of mine had one Martin fletcher from feath could ride like the wind
Had exactly same one new in 1974, redg SET 287N had nothing but cutting out on one cylinder even in dry weather had it at more dealer ships never found problem only had it 8 months traded it back in for a new RD 350A still was a nice looking bike
I had the A model but later sold it and bought a RD 250..

On eBay here -->> bit.ly/4qa40hn ... See MoreSee Less
Had one, it never done the ton๐คจ no matter how hard I rode it๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
They actually claimed 105mph on the adverts of the time. They called it the ton up 250. In reality, you'd need to ride it off a cliff to get anything like a ton ๐คฃ
Mine was good for 95 on the clock, the day before my 18th birthday going to work it said 100 on the clock, just round the corner the left hand piston blewโบ๏ธ
Over-hyped ...my RD200 was all over them ๐คฃ
Back when a learner could ride one
Mine never did a ton either....couldn't put the front wheel down..๐คฃ๐คฃ
Back in 1988 I got my tuned (and skimmed head) X7 to 108mph..... sadly it was in a 30mph and I was clocked by the Police..... 36 points and a £417 fine..... I kept my paper licence as I pleaded poverty and would loose my job (mechanic) ... it has "no disqualification due to extreme hardship" I must route it out and get it framed
I had one..... My mate................. 90mph at best.............. My RD was faster.............. Bore off
Surprised they're slower than a Fizzy tbh ๐ค
Need a set of micron's
Rd125 94mph is that when you threw it over a cliff !!
Because it's same weight as push bike
Suzuki had been claiming 30hp/100mph since about 1968 for their 250 stroker twins. Bike Magazine got some shaved ferret of a tester, took the mirrors off and got 100.67 one way and 94.6 the other....speedo showing nearly 110mph of course lol Truth is, Suzuki's first 100mph 250 stroker was the watercooled RG250...with a 2 way average of 104mph...and around 40hp at the rear wheel. I always wonder how interchangeable the pistons were on all their 250's, they had the same 54 x 54mm bore and stroke from the 1966 T20 onwards (claimed 95mph and 29hp making that either a lie OR the X7 lol)
I worked at Suzuki GB in Croydon and PDI hundreds of them and they wouldn't never do the ton , if they did it was a dodgy Speedo
Tuve una un cañon
I had a RD250E flat out on the motorway, clipons laying on the tank , leathers, 10 stone 94mph indicated ๐ used to wreck the little ends each time I tried for the ton ..
Una torta esa moto....
Got nowhere near a ton on mine ๐
Better with a super dream ๐
I shit myself at 85 on mine...it gets a wobble on. I use it mainly for a Sprint event, I love it.
avion x tierra
It was faster than the 250 LC
Then the RD250lc was the Yamaha class leader again
Once the experienced journo' mentioned in Motorcycle Mechanics had the idea of removing the mirrors, it went from 99 pont something MPH to a fraction over 100 at the MIRA proving grounds. The biggest thing related to performance on the X7 seemed to the quality of finish on the casting of the transfer ports- some were certainly quicker than others, but not a big job to have them re-done to a higher standard if necessary.
Never got to see 100mph on mine and boy did I try!!!

Had a 76 orange one after my Ap50 when I was 17 great bike really quick loved getting on the back wheel in 2nd and 3rd gear and loved the electric start
Had an identical bike back in the 80’s. Just checked and it’s still around…YCR 861V. Wonder who’s got it now..
Looks nice in Silver... A proper Crotch rocket...250 was a little more substantial.. but good none the less... Good old Rd's ..
Had new one in 78 microns on pocket rocket
I bought one in that colour for £20 with a bent handle bar great bike while it lasted
I sold my v reg one in about 1991 for £70.... I was in Bristol in aug 1987 ( I remember the date as a friend had just got a job in Bath, and I went to visit him at the bank hol weekend), and fowler's had 2 brand new ones for sale, with the later ' tick' LC style paintwork on black, like a mars bar Lc, think they were £600 or so.

I had the 135 twin bloody awesome

I very nearly bought one back in the day and I wish I had.

Remember these well, pulled like a train even when 2 up.
It's a 76 model...
It is a 1976 or 1977, not 74’ GT name came from 1976 and forward. The Tank is from a A or B model (1976/77) where production ended. From 1968 - 1975 it had different names. Latest T500 (Titan)
Wrong Year!!!! The GT500 was first introduced in 1976. It was a T500M but with a front disc brake and an electronic ignition. Clearly NOT 1974!!!!!
1974 pas possible plutôt 76
Here is mine well was and sorry for using the words I wish I kept it I had no room I just bought a GS 750 1977 so it had to go it was a good reliable bike went everywhere on it .
Its predecessor the T500 was quicker..

I buy a new one 1986 ๐คฉ
Prices are ridiculous now. I bought a brand new one for £3,000 years ago. I loved it, just like I loved its smaller 350 brother. Unfortunately, some utter CharlieUniformNovemberTango in an "Istibitsi Showoff" 4x4 backed my 500 it outside my sister's house and wrote the bodywork off. Still, I had 3 years of lunacy, speeding bans, and smiles, on both YPVS's. My third speeding ban was on my 750Turbo. 5 years of that was nuts, too.
Nice … I’ve seen a good condition rg500 for 20k Unfortunately these aren’t an investment because the generation that value these is dying off Prices will drop

I had one with a Micron pipe, when it came on to song it absolutely flew.
Yeah i had a white one with a micron on it.
Great 125, had one brand new, knocked the washer out of the down pipe and managed to get 90mph on the clock out of it. Had it six months and it got pinched. Replaced it with a Honda MBX125F. Put a Micron on that and that turned out to be a really quick bike 100mph on a 125 ๐๐๏ธ๐๐ป
Yes, I think my neighbours hated me!
Aqui era a icônica RDZ
I had a white & blue 21 bhp it was Ace !! ๐๐ฝ
I still got my Ar80
Mate had a red one, I had a gamma, both had pipes, reeds etc. Both quick but his used to be the easiest thing to wheelie and be a hooligan on.... Great (and on reflection, completely reckless and irresponsible) fun.... The 80s we're great days!
Had one and got some cheap parts of a tzr put motor and wheels on the rd maybe the forks too can’t remember was quick tho
Yes in chappy red home tuned 105 mph
I had one, oil pump hose split making the pump suck air and not oil, seized the piston doing 60, back wheel locked and it high sided me as it kicked out. Had it up and running in 4 hours after a trip to get a new piston and a rebore for the next oversize up.
I had a couple, and took my test on the last one B595BBD
Mine in 1985
yes , had a red one with all the usual add ons - K&N , Micron etc - fantastic little bike
Had a white and red with a full fairing crashed it first day it survived crashed a few more times sold it got a 350lc
Yep , 1982 same colour
I had a Mk 1 with the Wrangler proddy racing colours, plus Micron and Boyesons!
Had one exactly like that. Ports was done and a different pipe. Still miss it today. Loved it.
I had a dt125r it was the same engine with the ypvs ,I had mine deristricted so it was more rideable, with road tyres instead of the knobbleys
I wish I had a photograph of mine. It was custom painted in red and black with a full fairing.
Yes mine was the white and blue one with all speed pipe boudin reeds and a painted set of wheels the same blue as the strips I loved it

90 mph if thrown over the edge of a cliff.
90mph! Never heard of a fizzer doing that! 50tops!
90mph๐maybe 50 at a push... even with a 70cc kit and Micron you would be lucky to hit 70 downhill.... imop

Η σκοτοστρα !
Going by paintwork it's a 75/B.. simply a USA-spec bike regd late 74. Strange thing, if regd on a dating certificate would have to be manufactured before 31 july 74 for M-reg
Superb!

I had one in the 70s. Not good, heavy slow . Rd400 was twice the bike at everything
Always liked Suzuki red had to Suzuki bikes both been red . Gt 550 and ts 250 .
Nice bike, always fancied one. Had a couple of 380s then went daft and got an RD500 which I wish I still had!
More like £8.5 they have dropped a lot in the last few months lots of these around now
Possibly one of the best balanced motorcycle designs ever...great from all angles

Drank petrol like a wino drinks white lightening cider.... bloody astronomical, pushing it hard would empty the tank in around 60 miles good fun though....
I had one just like this in the Rothmans colours, they are a lovely looking bike, so well made, handle like a dream, but the engine sounds and feels like it belongs in a moped.....and don`t mention the fuel. If you want a quick 2stroke, buy a RG.
La Spencer Réplica c'est celle-ci. ๐
I bet there is plenty of lads getting nostalgic about fast two strokes they never owned. They were fast and fun when your a young lad and insurance on a big was was too expensive but thirsty and synthetic two stroke oil was hand on the pocket and the engine could go bang then your back on the bus or the bicycle. Having said all that I find myself drawn to 1973 ish yamaha Rd 350. But too expensive to justify the purchase and the fuel consumption would make the novelty wear off quick. My first bike was a yamaha 125 twin YAS3. I didn't get to ride it for long before it burnt a hole in the piston. And being a little bit more than a child at the time I sold it off at a loss soon after. It was a huge disappointment.
Nice looking bike, back in the 80s, they sound horrendous, compared to anything else
Beautiful bike!

RD 400 was the best bike I ever owned until I bought a GSXR 600 which also made me smile. Both the best I ever owned.
Had an orange one but preferred my rd350b

They were dreadful bikes, overweight, underpowered, awful handling, it was no wonder they weren't very popular, the 550 and 750 triples were better bikes though the 550 could seize the middle pot and being a chromed bore cost an arm and a leg to have rechromed and then there was the plastic water-pump gear on the 750. Let's not forget the Suzuki GT & T models which included the 125, 185, 250, 350 & 500 twins, RG250, 500 gamma, the X5 and X7 suzukicycles.org/GT-series/GT350.shtml

Pretty bikes, had the MBX, always liked these back in the day, a 400 version would have been brilliant
Eat centre main bearings for fun
Remember seeing these in wreckers yard in Australia
Honda were going to release an MVX400F but then dreamt up the NS400R instead.
Only seen one, at The David Silver Honda museum. Well worth a visit, especially if u like Honda's or even if you dont!
Ashley Gibbons is this what you got or was it a mbx?
They were never my cup of tea back in the day. But now looking at one with a nice set of pipes I'd make it beautiful. Beautiful machine
This looks nice love it
Dreadful front brake set up those discs were for maintenance , I should know, I had to pull enough of them apart
I expect spare parts would be rare
Only ever seen the 125 version of these.
ฮχω ανταλλακτικα
They’re cool but weren’t known for reliability and replacement parts will be even rarer than a complete bike I suspect.

I have a CBR400F ???
I think that's my old one going on the mileage.. fabulous bike..
I had two!
Mbx 125 looked similar
Didnt they make the bore and stroke slightly bigger for the NS400R but basically same engine?
They had some in Bill Heads in Preston complete garbage basically a VT250 with a different engine. They were slow and unreliable 400's the same
Gilera made a similar looking rv 250 ngr model.
Irrespective of the performance and / or reliability, I love the fact that it harks back to a time when the manufacturers were prepared to try something different. Instead of the bland, homogenised, same old crap that they make now.
Have this one from swiss import and have another waiting for transport from swiss in the red-blue-white colors.

This is the same Yamaha poster I had on my bedroom wall as a kid back in 1974 - I remember begging for these in the dealers, or sending off stamped addressed envelopes (remember them?) to the distributors for the latest brochures (many of which I still have). The start of a love affair with motorcycles which is still as strong today. ... See MoreSee Less
What kids dreams were made of in the 70s.
No TX 650? Or 500?
No XS650?
As a kid riding a Gt mini enduro, going to the dealer and getting the high gloss bike photos was fun. Like collecting baseball cards.
The poster I had on my wall after I started as a trainee motorcycle mechanic at age 17 in 1972 featured a very lovely looking young lady clad in only the briefest of bikini bottoms, standing next to a Suzuki GT250K, advertising NGK spark plugs!
Toute ses machines étaient fabriqués avec une qualité de houf et la fiabilité qui ont fait leurs renommer
Think it's a USA line up
I had a wall covered in bike brochures around the same time. I too would dream of owning many of them. A great time to be a motorcyclist.
Yep had the same poster. And thats my RD350A shown on it.
Glad to hear it wasnt the only one who sent off for stuff like that. Mine was more geared towards the various mopeds that were heading to our shores in the mid 70s.
Passed my full bike test on a V50 in "76 ..... around the block a few times and don't knock the examiner over when he jumped out in front of you for the emergency stop......imagine that with all the faff you need to go through now! Only 50cc but no pedals so technically a motorbike..... Lovely little bike the V50, kept it for a while after passing my test and was able to take the girlfriend (now my missus) on the pillion. We knew every bump and ridge around. Got a 250 soon after - still here to tell the tale. Feel so sorry for all you youngsters now with what you have to go through and the shocking expense. Still seem to be able to kill and maim bikers quite effectively in large numbers, so I'm not convinced by all the changes and complications. Very much a state of mind in my opinion, one either accepts one's limitations or one doesn't. Wish I'd have kept all those dealer brochures, they were works of art in many cases.
Had a YB 100 back in the seventies, part exchange for my Fizzie, mainly because going 65 miles to see my parents on the Fizz wasn’t a great experience ๐คญ!
I had the same poster and was doing the same thing to get brochures from the importers! Still ride a motorcycle today๐๐
Did'nt know of the TX750?
DT 100 and TY175 not on the poster. We had them in Australia.
The TZ750 was only a 1975 model as 74 was a TZ700 so maybe a 1975 poster ? But a great find
Nice! I had forgotten about those posters until I saw your post. I had one from 1975 that had the MX line along with the DT line and the YZs (which were yellow).
I used to hire DT125's when I was on holiday in Greece back in the 80's. I was only a kid of 16 with no experience riding a motorcycle but they were so simple to ride. I had loads of fun on it. Good old days. ๐
Hell of a bike the YZ line
Had one from 73, right by my head on my bedroom wall, 74 I got a 72 Dt250. $600 .
Where is the rd 400 ? I know the Daytona special, which was white with mag wheels, came out in 77 ๏ฟผ…
I had a 1970 green Yamaha 200 twin I bought from a freind in 1971 ๐
I had the 74 DT360. I was 14 . It was almost new in 77.. had 420m on it
I had the 1972 Yamaha 360 enduro. I was 15 at the time. Fun bike! ๐

Nice, even got the metal shorting caps, I mean spark plug caps. First thing I took off when I got mine for £1050 in 1980. With inflation it would now cost £4,545.44.

That would have cost thousands to restore to that standard. Parts are so expensive now. It will sell!!
Cheap compared to some fizzy’s
That bike, at that money, is going to be a massive disappointment in the flesh, certainly not collecters grade. Zoom in and it's not that great, it's a nice 5k bike.

My '78 400. Loved the 'rockin chair ride'! Tough as nails. Bought it used; rode and raced it constantly for three years. Las Cruces, NM. 1979.
By 1978 the Monoshock was no longer dominate. But still better than stock CZ almost axle mounted. Pierre Karsmakers proves this point in an AMA champioship, unfortunately Gary Jones bought knee pads. In 1981 the 490 Maico Alpha was born and excellence was created. The world then understood balance and power. At least on a motocross track.
great bike i had one
One if the best looking MXer's ever
I agree.
