Yamaha rd350lc

So after all those replies what are you looking for?

1981/82 RD350LC 4LO no ypvs
1983/84 RZ350 (RD350LC2 in europe) 31K with ypvs
1985 on RZ350N / F2 1UA with a few extra hp different gauges etc

4L0s are a bit hard to find as they qualify for Pre 82 racing, RZs arent really sought after for racing as they arent really competitive in pre 89 although they are awesome bikes.

You will find one without too much problem, the price make people squeak a bit , if you have just swapped pounds for nz dollars it wont hurt a bit. There was a nice 4lo on trade me last week http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-134511666.htm

Beside, there aren't enough to go around.

I know... cool aye

thats cos we have em all down here

Go to this page, it explains what was RD and what was RZ and where

Basically, all the water cooled models were RZs in Japan (and USA for the one year they sold them there) . They were all RD-LC in Europe/Uk and Brazil.

And canada, South africa and here they started out as RD-LC then switched dto RZ

Yep - so wasn't it splitting hairs to claim RD's are RZ's? It remains that here in NZ the RD350LC is a valid model number to talk about. Doesn't it?

**Ixion** · 9th January 2008, 20:01

That wasn't actually what I said. i said that the RZ and RD-LC are the same machine.

So if someone has an 85 RD350-LC and someone else has an 85 RZ350, they will actually have the same bike.

In most countries there were only one sort - they either got RD-LC or RZ. But in NZ because of our small market we often get mixtures. One shipment will be UK models, the next Australian and so on. Plus imports of JDM stuff. So you can get RZ-LCs and RZs.

which was occasioned by someone else commenting that the RZ superceded the RD-LC. Which it did here, but only by changing the name.

**dangerous** · 9th January 2008, 20:44

dosnt really matter anyway cos we are in NZ and all pre power valve bikes were RD's from 83 they were the YPVS knowen as the RZ.
However if tl1000s is a pom then he will know the YPVS as RD's aswell... so when he comes back from holliday he will tell us just what he wants
