    New RD?

    I just got an email from a mate saying that Yamaha might make a new RD.
    Check out this pic of a possible new RD350 for 2010.
    I sure would like to give it a thrash


    PS,
    Sorry if this has already been posted,but it's worth another look anyway.

    You couldn't upload your pic as an attachment/thumbnail, could you?
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    You mean a honda RS? Or an Aprillia?

    Can't see why not.I really like that style.
    But i was thinking....with the way the old RD's used to accelerate,wouldn't wind be a factor with no screen?

    That is a nice looking tool, at the right dollars I'd buy one for the track. Loved the old RDs.

    Here's your thumbnail mate.

    A screen, nah, dont need one of them , my helmets got a visor Two stroke road bikes rock. I have got 4 LCs and a TZR , and used to have a TDR . The TDR would do 175kmh, not bad for a 250 dirt(ish) bike and it didnt have any fairings, it was suposed to have a bikini fairing but it was missing when i got it.

    Imagine a full feild or new RDs doing Pro/Am racing (youtube has great video) racing like in the early 80s . be bloody awesome

    aprilia.

    and if it's ok for a street triple or a gsx1400 to not have a screen, i'm sure you could cope on a 2 or 350

    If it were a 750 triple with about 160hp at the wheel and weighed under 200kg fully wet it'd be super interesting..

    No shit, I would put a deposit down today on one of those.

    I think its pretty unlikely though, with Euro 3, noise restrictions and whatnot. And that has carbs it looks like, and my understanding is that the only two stroke with a hope of meeting Euro 3 was direct injection (like the TSS ones)
    I thought elections were decided by angry posts on social media. - F5 Dave
