The Yamaha Motor Co was formed in 1955 as the powered vehicle division of the massive Yamaha Corporation, more famous for making musical instruments. By the 1970s, the arrival of the RD range cemented Yamaha's reputation for high-performance two strokes and the launch of the 250LC and 350LC 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 matching numbers RD250LC was bought by the vendor with a view to restoring it back to original, but with a garage full of other projects already lined up, he has decided now is the time to move it on. Whilst obviously needing a complete restoration, it still has the all-important standard exhausts and air box, items that very often went missing in the days of Allspeed and K&N filters. Supplied with a spare set of crankcases, it is not registered but does have a NOVA number. This LC will make an ideal winter project to start a full restoration or form the basis of an interesting production racer or TZ replica special.
