Vehicle Overview Yamaha RD350 was the most powerful motorcycle of its time, presenting itself as the exact opposite of Royal Enfield Bullet 350. It was known for mad speeds and lightening fast acceleration from its 2-stroke 347cc, twin cylinder engine. It produces 30.5 BHP in the Indian version while the Japan version was good for 39 BHP. Weighing just 155 kg, it was surely the KTM 390 Duke of its time, rivaling none other than RE Bullet 350. The Indian version even came with just 180mm front drum brake, making it the most dangerous package of all time.

Best Companion of my Life

Kinshuk Mehra | One year ago
helpful 8

Yamaha RD350 is treated as the Bullet motorcycle in its time. Even I selected second hand Yamaha instead of Bullet when my other friends bought "Royal Enfield Bullet". Though it is small in length, but I never felt shame while gedi route. The engine sound is different, even many heads raises up to see my machine. Now, I am using four-wheeler for my daily commute but Yamaha RD350 is still my companion for the fun ride. From the seating position to the handle bar position, it is awesome in every way. I never felt stress on my arms or back while long trips. It covers a 100kmph mark in 10 seconds. (What else we can expect from 80's bike) For braking, it has drum brakes for both ends. Overall, its a wonderful motorcycle which make every ride so smooth with its ease of handling.
