Yamaha dominated the Grand Prix world in the 1960 and 70s with famous TR and TZ twin cylinder racers. This was the development ground for their road based machine, enter the RD series. RD stands for Race Development.  The rapid 250 and 350 twins were a world beater, selling in their 100s of 1,000s around the world. The base was a twin cylinder 7 port two stroke twin developing 39bhp @ 7,500 rpm, giving a top speed of 105 mph.

This model, the RD350B, is lovingly known as the ‘ Silver Bullet ‘. Just over one thousand came to England, there are believed to be only 35 to 40 UK Silver Bullets left on the UK at the moment.

As with many Silver Bullets on our roads, this machine is an American import in UK 350B colours. The engine has been recently rebuilt, and sports a 5-speed gearbox and premix lubrication. In good running order, the bike has been maintained by a well known owner/specialist in current ownership.
