Yamaha RD350 31K 1984

£8495

Great original condition Yamaha RD350LC 31K YPVS from 1984, imported from France in 2023 it benefits from the stunning French paint scheme that we weren’t blessed with in the UK. The 31K has an age related UK reg plus mph speedo fitted and is eligible for historic vehicle tax – over 40 years old.

After only a couple of years in production the original RD350LC was superseded in 1982 by the RD350 LCII, a model better know by the ‘YPVS’ acronym standing for ‘Yamaha Power Valve System’. Developed on the firm’s Grand Prix bikes, the electrically operated power valve varied the effective exhaust port height according to engine revs, enabling Yamaha to tune the engine for increased top-end power while maintaining mid-range tractability. Keeping pace with the times, Yamaha slotted this heavily revised engine into a new frame equipped with linkage-operated mono-shock rear suspension, while the old rear drum brake was replaced by a disc. After little more than a year the LCII was dropped, being replaced by the fully faired RD350F and naked RD350N models.
