Classic 2 Strokes For Sale

Not a '73

I had a RD 80 MX and it was a extremely quick bike and even more so after my Dad tinkered with it,we couldn’t get a Micron for the RD 80 MX only for the LC version so we had to do some re-engineering on the exhaust. Some tweaks to the Reed valves and a slight change to the Front and Rear Sprockets and it kept up with the Standard 125cc LC on the standing start and was only a second away at the top speed of the 125cc BUT in the Twistys no 125 or even some 250’s couldn’t keep up

V nice 🫡

Nice machine 👏

C'est pour les side a la base🤔

F-f-f-f-fast!! 😆😆😆

stunning machine.... what's that front end off ?

7k?I wonder what my original '72 380J would bring?

Think bike magazine said you had to remove the engine to do an oil change.

Way too dear. At the right price, if you just want to look at it, fine. For something to ride and have a bit of fun on, any two stroke 250 Japanese bike would be a better bet. These things weren’t known for their reliability, despite the wording of the ad.

I remember this model being included in a biking lemons series in one of the 80s magazines

Just like the Moto Guzzi posted yesterday. Loverly bike but way too expensive 3.5k would be about right. I had a love / hate relationship with a 76 green one with drum brake

Gorgeous but expensive and unreliable 😩

Nice bike but crazy price

6k, aye right 😀

Moto de merde !

Had a 570,superb bike,smile a minute but not in the wet.👍

Not ridden a 400, but did ride a friends 500 back in the day . It was a fantastic machine imo.

Cool bike, we had it here at our local Suzuki dealer in '85 👍

Paul

The RD 350 LC worth tht much or rz not that model. That one is 4500 /. 6000 $

£3 to 3750 k at a push me thinks

10k too much unfortunately

Crazy pricing keep a duster you’ll need it

I've never owned one, but have never forgotten the write up in the 'Used and classic bike guide' - "If it doesn't wheely in the first three gears, walk away as it's knackered". Epic short description for the time 😁

They used to say the white ones were fastest ! 🤣

You can dance to the tickover

The orange one was tops.. 😅

I had a V reg and later, a W reg - both 1980 bikes in 84 and 86. , nothing like as tidy as this one. Both were still 'grin a second' machines back then though.😁

Shame about the mag wheels tho..

J en ai vendu une,exactement la même avec les roues rouges…10000 euros

Strong money, but looks a beauty

Better with the red wheels.

Had a couple a v early RD400C with wire wheels in blue, and a late yellow RD400F. The 400F was a fair bit quicker, although the Yamaha brakes weren’t as good as the earlier Girling design. Never let me down although I did fit 350LC pipes because of the gaskets between the down pipes and silencers kept blowing. So easy to wheelie in 1st and 2nd and a good one was not much slower than the early 350LC. Sold my 400F around 1990 for £500 and doubled my money.

My rd 350 out ran a rd 400

Had that exact bike wheelie machine as it was so light😉

Had exactly the same bike T reg 1978. It was stolen from Swan Hunter Wallsend (Shipyard) car park. It was £810 brand new from Ian Bell Motorcycles. Went down to the Earls Court bike show on it. Fantastic machine.

My 1980 RD400F had red wheel back then, the bike I have now is 1979 and has black wheels, I’ve always wondered what the craic is re that 🤔

It'll sell. May be not for that much, but not far off. If it had been put up for 10g, there'd be a bunch saying it was way too much. The kind of people who have no intention of buying it or could afford it anyway.

Nope, Yamaha Yellow and Black imo!

Had the RD250 in same colours but had red wheels

Always thought they had twin brake discs 🤔

Good luck with that one at 15k those days are long gone😭

I went out for a ride with my mate on his RD400 when he was running it in, it kept up with me on my S1 Kwack no problem

A little optimistic with the price in my opinion. Lovely bike good luck though hope you get what you’re asking

Show

I had that bike one of my favorite.

That’s my bike. I think I got it brand new late in 1979 greatest top of my life…:

I had the 79, loved that bike!

take my money

I had one

I had one of those i still have the big shop manual

Riding a motorcycle without gloves!!

Good friend of mine had one - we all had 250's but he had no real issue keeping up especially through the bends. Great bike

Had a 1977 GT185B reg...BUP 671S, first road bike, good bike until I got too used too it, quite nippy up to 60mph, 5th gear pulling into headwind was a waste of time, used to bog down, I was only 17 years old when I had this, tried everything possible to get more power out of it, expansion pipes, bigger jets, A bars, bell mouths, had the inlet and exhaust ports opened up, changed both sprockets, happy days with this little thing but moved on to a GS550ET.

Had a 1974 model, ran it hard. Love it. Stone reliable, handled great, comfortable, quick. Good mileage as well. Even shrugged off me converting it to big car coils... which made no difference other than a slightly smoother idle with 0.035" spark plug gap. No fouled plugs, no overheating in 110 degF summers at highway speeds.

Yep I had one in 1977 in Caterham, Surrey. I thrashed the ass off it and loved the smell of two stroke in the mornings! 😂

Yep, nice bike but I believe the 125 was better.

1974 red loved it loved it rode it without fail

Still got my two suzuki gt185s 1976 models

I restored this one a good few years back,great little bike.

Yes, I had a 1976 GT185A ..

Had 2 brilliant bikes

Spud, RIP ❤️

Martin Bradfield, thought of you!

昔々の話です。RG185も検討しましたが、カワサキZ200にしました！

What a brilliant paint scheme

Fantastic, I had a green one back in the day. I've been riding this gpz 900r for 41years

May I please buy the Purple People Eater? Love it too bits!

1975 as i no

For sale?

Quanti ragazzi sono morti con questa moto 750 due tempi .

The most beautiful and rarest of them all. Only 4500 ever made.

Classic

Psychedelic

the 250 with the weight of a 125

Was that also sold as a Benelli ??

Good luck for the sale , difficult to ask more than 3000€ for a mint 250 Benelli or Moto Guzzi 250 2 C in France …

Rare but £6K rare in the current market?

125 Benelli 2C frame with 30 cv 250 engine , economic and very fast bike !

I tried the Benelli version in the early 80s as Motorcycle City were doing a deal. Super nimble and fun but premix put me off at 17 so I ended up with an X7 which was wasn’t the greatest quality either.

Worth every penny..you wouldn't restore one for double that

Hatte auch eine schönes Mopped. Aber nicht zu dem PREIS 🤔

Elle n’a pas eu le succès qu’elle aurait mérité. Une très jolie petite 259 deux temps italienne.

Ich hatte auch eine, war wunderschön 🤩

John Chesher

Worth about 4k max.

Heck of a price is it not?

Wow

Is this a lot of money? I must admit to me today £6k as this is all I could scrape together due to this being an unplanned buy. Say summer next year if it came to market at the asking price I would buy it if I had the funds readily available. What I am trying to say is a bike is worth what someone is prepared to pay. You only need one buyer. Best of luck with the sale matey, it really does look like a stunning bike. Cheers Mark

At lest it got right plug caps as they come from new

A lot of dough for a 250 but it is in showroom condition 👌

Quick glance , clocks on wrong and carb clips upside down ( yam put the support on the reed block clip bottom for a reason ) what else wrong ? First time you ride one in the wet you realise why everyone , including me on my new one , took the metal plug cap shields off. Anyway enough winging from this old git , nice looking bike. Much prettier than my “cosmetically challenged “ but mechanically fully refurbished one. 👍

5TH DEC 1980. 1ST BLACK EU ONE I OWNED.

Poderosa maquina

Nice bike wood sooner have the 350lc mk2

La quiero que vale

Io celavevo uguale

Increíble 👏

Lo Máximo

Yo tuve el privilegio de andar en muchas de esas 250,,,, y 350. Con mi papa que tuvo muchas de esa máquinas de guerra 🌪️🌬️☄️🏍️🏍️

Mine, with correct rear light assembly

Sådan en havde jeg i 1973, samme farve.

Dream bike 💖

That made me chuckle “rocket ship” , had more flies at the rear than the front in summer😂😂

It wasn't a rocket ship. It was more 40mph downhill with the wind behind you, if you leaned over the tank. Lol 😃 Great fun though and my first bike.

When I was 19/20 I had a Yamaha RD500... A lad on an MT5 passed me once... .. .. .. .. .. I was sat in a lay-by having a drink. But... He passed me. Eventually...

My mate had one...29 flat out my fizzy 55 no competition 😎

This was the bike that set me off,my sisters boyfriend had one and I thought it was the dogs bollox! Three years later and many milk rounds I saved up and bought a brand new DT50mx ..then I thought I was the dogs!! Ahh the memories..😎

0-60=never unless a honda h100 engine swap Good luck finding a h100 donor

Slug Shit more like, my grifter was faster🤣

Slow as hell Ported mine and put reeds and a micron pushed her to a mighty 47 mph

I had one. Slower than an asthmatic snail! 🐌

Need to keep your visor down or the wind could snap your neck

H100.makes them go then the brakes melt as they work once and simply cook

Slow as a week in the jail.

More like a Rocking horse lol

You could walk faster

Couldn't pull the skin of a rice pudding!

Wouldn’t pull your foreskin back 🤦

My mate had the MB5 back then he fettled it and it flew 😁

I bought one new in 1982 and it cost £315.00. My mates Honda Melody shopping bike used to see me in his wing mirrors as it struggled to get pass 25 miles an hour.

Couldnt pull a clucking hen off a nest

Back in the 80's I rode the MT-8 around the island of Corfu

There was a rumour as I was 16 when these were around that they had one in Japan reach 100mph. Not sure how true that was but 35mph in the UK 😂

Faster than a free falling peregrine.

Rocket ship???...... its 50cc.... they had the motor from a fish tank...... lovely little bike if you've just taken your stabilisers off.....

Rocket ship 🤣 🚀 ! Couldn’t pull the foreskin off a Jew 🤦

I had one and loved it but sadly it wouldn’t pull the cap off your head!!

Pretty nippy off the mark too. Same HP as an X7 but 30kg lighter

Benelli motobi same bike different names

Very very high price I would gave thought.4K more like in today's market.

Yeh I had one, got the worst death wobble at a 100kmph

Not a Kawasaki version.....

I have a new one in Silver A1 1984model, come from H.Fløter museum in Sweden 1997. Only 2 owners today in Norway.

No!!! but I was blew out of the park by one , trying to race it on my Honda 550 . Many many years ago.

発表時にオー❕って思ったなーでも実物乗ったらあらー…でしたね、ヤマハかホンダ､スズキΓの選択肢だったね。

I had the blue one , nearly killed myself on it .

Had one of these, white was brilliant

Need to change the pipes to get the best from it. I believe they were tuned for the 350, and the 250 performance suffered as a result. I expect someone will correct me though!😆

It's a 73 S1A, the bike was built in 72, the 72 had H2 styling and a drum brake

Was faster than kh. My best friend had kh. Was always pissed off lol

Had gold one. Salesman was Eddie kid. Kenny heanes motorcycles fleet Hampshire

Smaller in c c I think the less was made for the kind of sakih , one series h one series

I has the blue S1 in 1978

My first motor in 1979! 😍

I had the blue one aswell

Me too little flyer

These\nAre one or the more rare ones

Fun little bikes

I had one fantastic Bike known as the kettel

I've got one half done same colour

Ne avevo una

I had two 1972 and 1974.

'73

Garry Koehn

Water tank

Will you take a kidney & my spleen?

No..... say it isn't so !!! 😢

Tasty looking hybrid 👊

Bad ass Rocket 🚀 ship.Power house. Buck you off like a Bull.

Good touch

Rocket ship back in the day

Are any of these bikes in the USA?

空冷のRDを水冷にするとは流石

ケツが、上げすぎとは、外国の方には、思いますね、（笑）

Looks real nice...color, swingarm, tasteful

Price shock

Good luck.

Perfect....fair play

Lovely bike 👌😎

That is something special right there 😀

Very nice 👍

That’s Stunning !

Beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 Matey.

Stunning expansion Chambers

£11,500 someones optimistic 😨

Daniel Griffiths

Jay Hunt

Absolutely beautiful price goes with how good it actually is little to much for me though

Excellent 😃 👏 👍

Lovely little bike. Probably not the best in the puddles with that low level intake though!

What a pretty little motorcycle..

My first bike was a suzuki ts 100 1978 freedom to go anywhere

Love that upswept pipe.

I got a pair of those boots at Christmas 1975 that summer I got a 1975 RM125

Umm 88???? Try 98..

It's an RD 250 the A had a single stripe near the bottom of the tank

I had same colour also had a steering damper.Mine was registered as a YDS7.

Questa è una ds7 1971

Those old motorcycles were beautiful, I rode very much one Rd350B.

How bout RZ 350

The Best

OP

M

Yep a YDS7 not an RD

American import.

Correct

Essa Simm que é a verdadeira viúva negra!!!!!

Elle était vraiment très mignonne cette petite brêle, moins rapide qu'une yam, mais pas loin quand même

Eut la même en jaune

My first bike was a gold stinger back in the 70s

Excellent had a green one ☝️

For a 125 you could squeeze 75 mph on a good day.

Le même réservoir que la xf 17 zundapp 5 au purtugal

Loved the suzuki stinger ❤ 😍

I like the high exhausts

The wolf and the Stinger ❤️

Lepakko-Suzuki. Ukilla oli kuulemma tuollainen.

Really cool

国内向けは1970年に打ち切ったのでTS−T(ハスラーのオンロード仕様)が登場。

La mienne ❤️‍🔥

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

2-stroke greetings from Indonesia

Ugly thing

A friend had use those fantastic wheels on his Honda SS 72 . It was flying as well ...to catch up with the Yamaha 2 strokers😁😁😆

Bike shops are closing and yet rd 400 still on the up haha

Incredible machine

Had a 400e, brilliant bike

Fabulous bikes

Had 1 of them.

Just like the one I had! Best bike I owned, even went to the Shetland islands on it.

Bril bikes 👍

Awsome Bikes

Ang Rd 350, ang sumibak sa Honda 754cc, nagkaroon ako ng Yamaha RD,,1972

great bike 👍

Miticaaa

La mejor moto 🏍️

Top saldade ver essas máquinas e seu roncó maravilhoso pelas estradas

Mine looked like that as i rode it away from the shop.......but after a season of production racing.....20mph faster & a race winner lol.

1980 = G

12 K ? Wow

One for the LFGBT+RSGTI massiv 🤣

Nice looking bike, but the price ? 🤨

Very nice. I haven't seen that colour scheme before.

For those unaware of this model, it was the last in line of the RS250’s. Released for 2003, the GP1 colours were the road going colours based on the 2002 250GP title winning bike of Marco Melandri. It wasn’t some statement, instead it was taken from Alice’s (pronounced Ali-chay) colours on the race bike though it’s always amusing to see some people showing their own colours. Not many were made or sold as the RS250 was being phased out due to Euro3 emissions, many dealers still had unregistered older coloured bikes on their showroom floors (to the extent they never did a 2002 version, instead continuing the 2001 Diablo Nero colours). Most were heavily discontinued and pre-registered to sell them on before they were banned

Lovely looking bike.

Cool bike, not so cool coolers.

Nick Brooks

shitty stickers will stop that selling

Great bike shame about the faggy colour

Gay pride Aprilia.....

The best all round 250 ever except maybe the rd 250 coffin tank

like an old mercury despatch bike lol 😂

🤔 Remember this but in blue Gary Jones 🤷🏻‍♂️😉👍

J’avais la même en bleu en 1974 boîte 6 seule problème tu roulais plus vite en 5 la 6 eme se chiait dessus où il aurait fallut changer le pignon de sortie ou en mettre une derrière avec 4a 5 dents plus grande

Era dos tiempos ? Creo q si 👍

Esta moto era suave confortable y alcanzan a velocidades de 210 km h .

Je me rappelle bien de cette Suzuki 250. Mais elle n'était pas aussi puissante que la honda CD

Had a new one in Blue back in the day 🏍💨

Incorrect front mudguard

Shame it was heavier than the T250 and had the disk brake but it did become the best selling 250 of the time

Mine was the GT250A 1976. Moved on to the GT750A 1978--overbored, upjetted with a piper 3 into 1..pretty quick for the seventies.

Picked up a new one same as that on my 17th birthday. Heavy bike but good fun. Swapped it for T500. I liked them both but very different bikes.

Brother had that one. I had the blue one which was bigger 😎

It’s funny, back in the 70s, I always preferred the styling of the Hustler to the new GT 250, but now I’m seeing them again they really are starting to grow on me, it’s a beautiful bike 

Had a Red one around 1978 on a T plate Not as good as the Yam RD 250 on top speed and not as quiet

My first motorbike was a Suzuki GT125, in the same paint job. 5 speed gearbox with 17 neutrals when moving, and none at all when stationary. Oh, and the distance between 4th and 5th was measured in solar years, not engine revolutions.

The original early 70s tearaway 'Yoof' machine. 😀

My first (proper) bike 🧡

Yeah, had one ,same colour.

I had that bike in 74. From copes at Bearwood. Anyone remember them. Had a yam fsie before.

Had the A model, a faster bike with huge piston porting, so rattled as not much bore left, a power band of 2k rpm and handled like it had a hinge in the frame...loved it and kept it for 20 years but none of those 70s 250 were particularly nice, bar the Benelli/Guzzi Quattro, they actually handled wand stopped well.

They where OK but I went up to a gs425 now that was a great bike economical 100 mph great engine and comfy

I have a gold cploured gt250m and a red gt250a

It was always been my dream bike love it

1974 i bought an N reg same colour with 2000 on the clock for 480 pounds from norridge motorcycles oxfordshire

Now that's gorgeous please someone buy it for me🙏🙏

Rebuilt many from heat seizure to crank failure 👌

I had a 250 Super dream, when my friend bought one of these I spent the rest of the time in his mirrors.

Had the 350 same colour without the kit w reg 1981 one of the first around best bike I've owned.

The 250 was only in this colour in NZ , blue-350. Wish I still had mine, bought new from Bob Haldane

No en 350 cuánto vale

If it were blue it’d be the same as my old one

I had 350lc same as this with alspeeds on.. 🚀💚

Take the can am stuff off it and it would be beautiful.

That's what mine looked like but with Allspeeds.

Hola buenas seguro es 250

When I worked for PCP Motorsports Sacramento in the 70s & 80s I attended the ‘76 model Training Seminar at Yamaha in Cypress CA. During lunch break Ed Santin & I wandered the building, opened a door marked NO ENTRY (cause the door was unlocked haha) and saw two of the TZ750 flat track bikes leaned against work benches!

Jeff’s work is impeccable, I did the bodywork and paint on this bike, in fact I do all of the paint work on all of the bikes that he builds.

That thing is just a wild ass wet dream of a screamer

Do they need my address for shipping?

Stunning work… It looks fast standing still

Fantasy bike. Never raced.

Saw KR ride one @ Golden Gate Fields in the early 70’s!

Nice 😃👍

I have an original good running 6100 mile '72 here for $4500. Just needs a ride across the pond.

RD 350 no corre vuela lo maximo.

Now, I know I probably have really bad OCD at times but I fail to see how a professional paint shop manages to get the Yamaha logo at different heights on the tank side to side. It’s not millimetres, it’s way out.

With 250 heads on it

My second bike! I loved the power and the sound!

Looks like a 6k bike to me, definitely not 9k

I had one best bike ever

Ça pétait le feu cette moto!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Cool 😎 but I prefer the air cooled models

OH yes Santa

Tuve la misma pero 250 cc era la rz 250 r dos pistones dos tiempos refrigerada por agua

15 años de mí vida estuvo mí trasero sobre una RD 250 , lo mejor del dos tiempos no le envidia nada al 350 , aquí en Venezuela són difíciles de conseguir esas máquinas de dos ruedas, dichosos los que aún la tienen operativas

Tengo una mefalta dos luces d cruse hoy la prendi moto 025

Que hermosura

Me encanta esa moto pero encontrarla aquí en Venezuela así nueva difícil

Que belleza. Deseó que el niño Jesús me conceda una así amén

Hermosísima Yamaha uuuffff hermosa 💎💎💎🤩💎 la RD (350) y (250),yo tuve una así igualita negra bellísima Yamaha no corre ellas vuelan son dos tiempos y con Radiador desde Venezuela angel García
