New RD in garage - Bheezy27403_imp - 03-22-2021
Sold my CBR300R. Just not up to the mountain carving I bought it for without major front end upgrades. Saw this girl on marketplace and he was willing to do trades for old CB singles. I have had a CB125S pile in my garage for seven years or so housing mice. He wanted $1200 for the RD. Traded the pile plus $500. She's all there and it came with a new set of tires. Should be on the road in a month or so. Blue Smoke!

RD 250?

My brother had one years ago, loved that bike.

Yup, brings back memories for sure.
What year is this?
Looks "really empty" below the seat.

Can't beat the smell of a two-stroke, happy days.

Congrats, that should be a reliable bike, it was my first bike, fast but not dangerous, started first kick every time;
Had one in this color, very sharp looking machine, it came with the wrong sparkplugs installed ( too hot ) and made a hole in one of the pistons, the previous owner was a mechanic and replaced the parts free of charge, just so you're aware

By faded paint stripes I'd say it's a 74

My first was a '76 RD400. One piston connecting rod was broken. The other piston was by Suzuki. It started with every kick - incredibly. The engine was eventually rebuilt.

I had a 73 RD 350 first year for the reed valve RD's just like this one. My dad had a 72 R5c with the black and orange paint scheme that was a piston port design. The reed valve models were easier to ride and had 6 speed trans.

In 1974 I purchased a new Suzuki T500 Titan. Not fast but a great bike. Started on first or second kick every time. Love two strokes.
