Classic 2 Strokes For Sale

I remember the last advert where they had a White and Red one on a road with the rising sun and heat haze in the background with the slogan 'White Heat' i went and bought a Yellow 250F off that advert.That started off 10 years of owning 250/350 Yamaha 2 strokes.

I liked these posters and RD advertising then, it gave you something to aim for .

That'll be my mum looking at it and saying "doesn't look like much holding the front wheel on... Are you sure it's safe?" 😂😂😂

For long time no more, no competition no progress

Ooh, I had one of those... Scared the living shit out of me!

Exactly like my old 380 , same colour only mine had a piper 3into 1 system , had a 550 in the same colour , with the same pipe , absolute pig to set up the carbs though 🤔😈🐝😁👌

I had one..my first rd bike. Next to no brakes. Vibration was so bad my hands would be numb in 15 minutes and it cornered like a boat with no ballast. And tuning 3 carbs to 3 sets of points. They were a terrible bike. I dont understand the fondness of them. There were much better bikes around at the time.

Nice bike I had the 1973 380GT red in color

Had this bike back in the day. Great little ride.

K-techs sound sick on a 380

Had one of those loved it 👌

Advert used to state WHATS NEW BLUE AND DOES103MPH

Definitely a "C" model, it even says that in the ebay ad.

I had the same bike, same colour, bought new in 1976 for £660, you could get it with wire wheels for £600. Great bike and lots of fun to ride.

Que maquina ,la llamaban la mata hombres

1976 RD400C

I had one of these. A long long time ago!

Great bikes 😎👌

Canhão

Such a pretty bike.

That’s not an E… it’s a C or a very early D

I’m beginning to think that all of these older Jap bikes at high prices are becoming less and less desirable, as the generation that likes them are aging. I don’t think the appeal is going to be there when younger riders are more impressed with all the modern gizmos, ABS, traction control, quick shifters, clutchless gear changes etc, that can be bought on new bikes for not much more money. 🤷‍♀️. Personally, I’d love a tidy RD400, but not for £10k.

Japanese

Had 1 .. great bike !

I had a red one.

Lovely bike. Little bit on the high side price wise.

My mate had one, i was so jealous, Beautiful bike

I had the 125 in this model and went very well indeed, 💯👌

Ridiculous asking price! 🤔

Asking double its value..and has import bits on i didnt check if import or not. Love the dts. Sold 2 mine not too long ago under 2k each.

I wish I still had mine !!!!

Stephen Dear 👀

Yah, and they chose an engine with 5 neutrals! I know. Had a 125 Sachs in the 70's.

I actually remember the brand! I lived in Germany and Spain when I was a kid, and occasionally you would see one.

I had a monach with a truimph tiger cub motor in it.. Swingarm front suspension..1976

Wow I don't remember those bikes. Nice pic though.

Obviously a cold engine!

One of those bikes I would love to have. Ive only seen one in 20 years. Mid Ohio 2023.

Just finished my Monark, ready to race it.

monark ts 125 cc 1973 mine

were quite powerful

I bought one new. Should have never sold it but I bought a new TM 400. A few years ago I bought a one owner.TS .

They also had a gorgeous Green one in ‘73.

Love It Also The Yellow/Green 73' 185

If I was in the UK, I’d buy that. Absolutely stunning. To get that over to Spain and have it matriculated onto Spanish plates, would probably be another €2k.

WANT

Cracking looking bike i had many which i bought for 40/60 pound

Nice original condition 👍👍

Just over £4000 Now 5days left lovely bike engine sounds lovely

That's more like it with regard to the price, and not the ridiculous £8000 price it was advertised for previously (greedy).

Was on last week for 8k

Just over £4k and reserve not met. It ain’t mint and I know some will say, ‘it has patina’, but really, the guy ought to take the money and run.

A beauty

Geez they were scarily quick

I’d love to have that bike

It's worth the money. You only live once. I paid 15k for mine

Nice

Mad price, ship long sailed at £12k+

Mate of mine had one, part chopped a Velocette Thruxton for it.

I remember a mate had a black one in the early 70s

My first bike was a 69 T350 🍻

Looks similar to my Yamaha 250 DS7 in those years…

Luvit 👍

3k max

Just an expensive ornament.... Nice tho

👏👏👏🪂

How much , I’ve got one

Cool

Phil Holme

This takes me back. Failed road bike conversion project 50 years ago. 🤪

Price

Easiest bike to wheelie I ever had. Just had a great balance point.

I would if I had the skill to do one 😂

Nice mate but I already have one 👌 Plus no room 🤦‍♂️🤣

No good to ride in traffic obviously though won the Castrol 6 Hour in Sydney in 1984 beating much bigger motorcycles.

One off the best twostroke's ever made

I could be wrong but I don’t think they were available for sale in the USA. I have heard of a few that may be been bought in Canada and ended up in America, well at least 1. That top speed of 150 that’s listed on AI is a little off 😉

Probably the best time to sell now. As the guys that grew up with these machines are getting older, and newer generations won't value them as much.

I looked at buying one with 22K on clock. But was unsure of rebuild needed?

Owned mine 24 years now.still love it..bn reliable goes well always draws bigger crowd than anything new.easy to ride 👍

Even though I owned one used some 35 years ago…imo $37,000 cdn is pushing it. Even if it was still in the crate new. The rz500 and gama 500 are ridiculous priced as collectibles. As much as I enjoyed that rz500… they are too overpriced now.

I was 17 and that was my very first bike I brought from Portman Motorcycles in Guildford fantastic a long time ago now

Wonderful. I got RD 350 LCF 1988!!

I had an almost new one in 87/88 😊

Est-ce que son moteur fait partie du 4 lo donc posséder la petite sœur en 3 et demi ?

Decal Police needed for the sidepanels.

What shit I had rd250 and my mates had them stock straight from showroom the did 115 mph not kmph then you do bit of work like chambers jetting and then they fly I had rd 350 also with 250 tank decals and it screamed

Had a 250 ox and did the obvious 350 conversion

Iconique Yamaha 350 rdlc 😍

I had the 250 which I put a 350 top end on with, r and r expansion chambers from England along with twin energy inductors, race plugs and carb jetting. When I bought stock 250 it maxed out at 120 KMPH but after all the mods it did the 200 kmph clock and kept winding out probs to 220 min in 6th gear. Turn the the throttle in 4 or even 5th gear and it would stand straight up. Was a real weapon that thing. Once upon a time.

I had an Yamaha L.C THEY are FAST.

Die hatte ich in schwarz 🏍️

Love mine. 🙂

Awesome machine ✌️😎

In 1981, brand new, that cost about $2,000.00 USD

Another rd pure classic, I'd love one to add to my collection.

Crank twisters.Those bikes were mean but they would twist the cranks until they snapped.

A real mean machine back in the day 👍🏻

Want to buy one let me know if anyone have one forsale

Sorry thats not a 1973 Color. It’s a 1974 Color.

Take the bloody awful Higgspeeds off and fit the original pipes!

Just an expensive ornament now. Ready for a man cave

I had a 1989 one about 30 year ago. Still to this day I say it was the most fun bike I ever had. Mine was black. I'd love 1 now.

It was a shame Australia never got these .

thats one mint bike i had one when i was younger

My 1st bike 🥰 i had one for the feilds

Might be wrong but I think it’s up for sale elsewhere at £10k?

The same bike i had in 1990, loved it...

Christophe Stoebner

I have a very nice one for sale at 3k if interested

Not a 20 k bike. Lmao.

I had one of these 35vyears ago or so. If I remember right, it was a 4 speed. Lots of power for their time. Monster bike for desert riding.

That’s beautiful. Good work… gotta love an RM500…

I owned & raced three of them, great bikes!

lol what a beautiful beast!

lovely bike.love it

Irresistable

I loved all the dirt bikes back then. But none of the new ones they make today.

Lovely but i dont remember them winning much ..

My M8 had a 440. 40 yrs ago and it wasn't a new one. I was only young 15/16 tops.i was told if you can start it you can ride it and if you stall it you will either push it back or try and start it again. It was left foot kickstart. But what an animal of a bike . Wouldn't try one now at 58. I'll stick to my Fazer 1000.

Bruce Cribb wasn’t it one of these engines you experimented with at the Speedway ?

Riding my '79 440gs a few weeks ago at a vintage event. Bought it new back in the day.

Gettin’ there.

Beautiful job!!! Looks too good to ride… but absolutely stunning job dude. Love the Maico’s. Wish Magoo was around to see it

Had one and it was the best bike I ever had

Rode a 73 250 and later and 81 490. Both belonged to friends and I couldn't believe how well they steered. Front wheel glued in a tight slow corner or flat out and sideways just amazing.

My 79' 440 Maico

Still at the end of the day still a heavy 79, Maico nothing special

Mint condition

Wow always wanted to ride one

BEAST.👍❤️

The monoshock chassis way better than the dual shock models.

True fun bikes Go anywhere and feel safe

My very 1st bike. Brand new in 1979....£689.

Message to seller, 'Please fit the seat correctly'!

Had 2 off them great bike

My very first bike!!

It was one of the best dirt bikes ever. It could go anywhere. I can't see the modern fascination of huge 4 strokes that weigh half a ton.

Don t have a go but dit not the Mx have gold wheels .

Great bikes

£4.3k. Dream on.

were around £1000 new had one at 17

I had one of these when I turned 17, I was so disappointed in it tbh. My moped was a Fantic Caballero which in its day was fast, couldn’t wait to get on the road with my 175, yes, acceleration was good but top speed wasn’t much more than my Fantic.

Snap

Never gonna get 4.3k!

ENDURO, not MX

Hi ow much

I paid $1195 new in 1976 in Australia,a great bike

I paid just over 850 quid for brandnew white RD 400e crazy prices now but would still love anuther one 👍

In the best colour braaaaaap

I had one on loan for a week back in 1990. On country it left the "big" bikes standing, but I did spend a lot of time with the front wheel up in the air.

Way too dear for a mismatch of parts

Awesome bike wish they made it for the US and the DT 250 water cooled DT

I’ve never seen one in Australia

Super bécane, c’est top

Best sounding 2t ever made this engine send shivvers down ur spine with ease

Followed one last week near where I live. All I could smell was the Castrol r. Beautiful.

The one that got away! Was ready to buy a black amd yellow one when i first passed my test. Went to do the deal to discover it had been stolen the night before. I was gutted

Never saw one of them in NL . Beautiful!

Stunning beautiful bike

Et celui là

Best super motrail ever

J ai eu exactement la même pour écumer les rues parisienne. Une vraie madeleine de proust a deux roues

I nearly bought same colour one just before crovid I don't know why I didn't buy it was 1600e he actually accepted 1200e offer from me

Magnifique

Fantastic bike ......

Ik had een zwarte, hele fijne machine!

Sick these waste of time posts with NO PRICE.

If you had one, nobody's muscle car seemed all that impressive anymore! I used to like pulling up to the Sportsters of the day too! HaHa! I'd race any bike on a twisty road!

About 20 red lines in it before it explodes 💥

Great bike, detuned model of the more powerful 350

The one I wanted but couldn’t have. Only a learner so the 250s1c for me. Great fun on that bike

Had this same motorcycle andsame color! Loved it!

Love the color

The only Kawasaki I ever owned and certainly not in this condition

Beautiful green S3. My favourite Kawasaki triple. Very usable and fast enough The sweet spot of Kawasaki triples in my mind

Had exactly same bike I wrecked it real bad 50 years ago

I was looking at that only yesterday. Its a stunning bike, there's only two things stopping me having it, one, it's haven't got the space without selling summat else, and two, im a poor pensioner. 😇

They were so much fun to ride fast and show off with!

I would love this, I’ve always thought the 400 to be the best all rounder of the Kawasaki triples 👍

They were and still are superstars of the cycling world. I had a Suzuki GT 550 triple, but never a Kawi triple.

I’ve got one only got it a month ago need to get it running right

A brilliant underrated bike , best of the triples 😈🐝😁👍👌

Stunning 👌

Beautiful

My Bro had one and it was a joy to ride.

Mark Simpson

Gorgeous....but that's an over optimistic price with all classic car & bike prices tumbling.

Very.nice

Stunner 😍

I was the original owner of this bike. Bought new from Chris Horsfields Motorcycles in Evesham. It was red when I had it, but looks so much nicer in green.

The 500 muscle bike

Fast one though. 145mph stood still. 😂

I had this same bike without expansion chambers..

I had a 69 T350 first bike! 🍻

Had one just like that. Fun bike, but I had lots of trouble with it. Sold it and got a CB 750. Great bike

Had a gt 500 🤦. My Yamaha 200 was far better

Essa me lembra batia saia de pistão parecia um sambinha

wow nice , ..

Ugly expansion chambers …

at that price the original exhausts should be in the sale as well

Had loads of these, early and late models. Use to pick em up for £50 due to the introduction of the 125 law

Pete Matthews , tanks all wrong tho.

Had the choice of the GT185 or RD200Dx and went for The RD

Great little bike back in it's day.

Wonderful bike. I was 12 when my older sister’s boyfriend turned up on an identical GT185 in 1976, I was hooked. That bike. The look, sound, smell and feel of it was amazing.

Wow what memories 15 years old no license and my GT 185

Wish i could find my old one

Robert Raine look familiar ???

Had one the same coler good fun ❤️

My first bike

War mein erstes Motorrad in Rot

Love my 74.

Over £4k? You'd get a new one for a few hundred in 73! Loved mine....beautiful sound.

My mate raced one in 1975 in “schoolboy” scrambling as is was, one of my other mates had the 125 Rickman…

Cool 😎 dirt road special lol

nice i had a rm125s but iv had most rms the one i loved the most was the rm370 broke two off my mates legs trying to kick it over

I loved the rear fender on the 79 RM’s. They worked good for grading up the ground. 🤔🙄

Great bikes

Price

Bought my lil bro a 81 back in the day. . Damn fun bike to Ride.

This bike brings back memories!!!!!! Very fun bike to hit the top end with while, hanging on for life!!!!!

Had this favourite of mine the N model the mudguards were great looking

Last of the air cooled

My first bike!!! ❤️

Way dream machine.... flexible seat frame......

Ported the last year of the TM 125 myself it beat the RM off the line

I had fox shocks on mine

My 1980 RM 125 was way way faster.

Ma première moto !!!! Que du bonheur…

I had that bike

I owned exactly the same bike in my 20,s im now 55 and gees i miss them days .

I raced a one 🏁 also a 1977 & 1978 RM-125. The best 125s at the time. Tons better than Yamaha, Hondas were awesome but zero suspension.

I have a spare engine for this if interested, will need rebuild but it's complete

Way, so, 500, 3 pounds....= double the torque....who could pass that up. The 500 is a far better machine

Didn't know anyone still used ebay 🤔

Kevin Martine 😍😍😍

Why did our hot two stroke had to end 😭😭😭

It's an M

That is an M model.

I would've said that was an M model myself.

The M model had same side pipes the N had either side, the later model. I had one for a while, great bike to ride, it picked up hard around 6,000 rpm, then kicked you up the arse at 12,000 just when I thought it had stopped pulling. Powerjet carbs

That is pure 2 stroke porn 😳

Needs the white rims back though

Dark blue is TOO dark.

Nice bike

Beautiful!!!

That's the best colours ive ever seen,Black wheels too

I had that same bike. Man I wish I had that bike today. I loved it

the only thing to love about tyga pipes is the price.

Didn’t they put bigger motors in them like the fizzer I think I can remember someone doing ? 80/100 cc??

It's a French so sloooooow but change the engine fig bore kitracing exhaust different story fast red

I remember robbing 1 but i got caught cos it was so SLOW 🐌

Was it as fast as an fs1e

Ha I paid £275 in 1980 for one that was 2 years old...CRP 782T....long gone in 83'

The application was a bit quicker

Lt faster than the fizzie by far already made for about 4 years before the moped fizzer as a genuine 55 mph bike

Dries Odendaal jou eerste

Overpriced Rubbish mopeds this was made in 1970

Mark Houliston

It says easy resto, with many parts missing. In it’s current guise, it’s a bit of a mess. At the time of production, to be classed as a moped, it had to have ‘an alternative means of propulsion’, (pedals). Having footrests makes it a motorcycle. To be a later, legal, (when pedals were no longer required), moped, it had to have a maximum designed speed of 30MPH.

I think it's an H1E...I thought the last one (before KH500) had the pointed stripe on the tank and the stripe on the tail Perhaps the owner is confused by the frame number.

I borrowed a friends one when my rd400 was in being mended , it blew my mind how so much power and noise could come out of a 125 . I always wanted to buy one but they were as rare as rocking horse poop.

Had a green one

I restored a yellow one that a mate abandoned in my unit and found it a bit of a disappointment I thought that it would be like a yamaha 100 twin mind you I was messing with a cbx1000 as well

I had a green one.

I remember there black one..

Probably the best little bike I ever rode and it was green

the handling was almost telepathic. lovely bike
