I bought a new Yamaha RD 350 in 1973. It was my first motorcycle - the one I learned to ride on. It had a beautiful red & white paint job and ran on laced wheels. This was the first year for the "RD" reed valves and the disc brake. I paid just over $700 for it. As I recall these were very popular, but Honda's CB350 outsold them. But the Honda didn't stand a chance when racing an RD350.
