For Yamaha, the YA-2 in 1957, proved to be an immediate success in sporting events starting a long tradition of achievement that goes on to this day in Moto GP. The arrival of the RD range in the seventies cemented Yamaha’s reputation for high performance two strokes and the launch of the LC 250 and 350 models in 1980 revolutionised medium capacity motorcycling. The famous Pro-Am televised race series made for exciting and sometimes frightening Saturday afternoon viewing and kickstarted the careers of many a famous racer such as Niall Mackenzie and even Formula 1 world champion Damon Hill.
This Yamaha RD 250 has formed part of an enthusiast’s private collection and was purchased along with a Blue RD 350 a few years ago. The machine has been said to be running earlier this year but has not been used much since. Light recommissioning will be required before use on the road. It is offered complete with a current V5C document.
