The Yamaha RD250 is a 250cc two-stroke motorcycle produced by Yamaha Motor Corporation between 1973 and 1987. Four generations of RD (also known as the RZ250 in the Japanese and Australian markets) were produced: the air-cooled models from 1973 up to 1979, and from 1980 until 1987 the liquid-cooled models; known as the RD250LC, RD250LC-II and RD250 YPVS. The RD was shorthand for Race Developed.

This Yamaha RD250 was purchased in 2020, whereupon our vendor set about a good quality restoration that turned into a labour of love. The vendor wanted to use all new old stock parts where possible or at least a few improved parts, and when it came to paintwork, that was carried out by the masters at Dream Machine. The Yamaha runs on Newtronics electronic ignition with the aid of Pod air filters (originals supplied). It was a German specification machine originally, however, during the restoration, the vendor changed items to UK specification, including a MPH speedo, rebuilt with the KMH on the original converted to miles on the new MPH clock. From what we have seen, this RD must be one of the best on the market today and is a credit to the vendor. It is accompanied by a large folder with every receipt for any work or parts purchased.
