This is indeed a dream bike for any speed-freak.This is the most dangerous bike I ever rode!!coz’ it’s got tremendous power & pic up....and the most dangerous thing about RD is it’s sheer acceleration. ....really!!This machine is capable of throwing off an unaware pillion rider in almost any gear & If not the rider himself if he doesn’t watch that clutch and throttle. This machine pulls hard. Real hard.It’s shoots like a chetah; Really This machine is made for performance & just genuine performance and actually capable of reaching more then 170 KPH in just few seconds !!! whatta tremendous sprinter!!! it can reach 0 to 90kph just in 5 seconds.This bike really deserves #1 place in my list!!
It’s really a civilized beast coz the overall appeal of bike is very simple and easy but when it comes to performance IT RULES!! that thing I luv most... and the whole world too so RD got the 8th place in cycleworld USA magazine about 10 superbikes of the century with an article called ’’civilized Beast’’. Arguably the greatest and fastest 2-stroke ever to be produced, indeed!!
Even today, classic racing series in the US and UK see heavy RD350 participation. Highly tuned RD350s also turn up at classic drag racing events with engines that make a whopping 80 plus bhp! The bike is invariably well represented in motorcycling literature, whether the theme is history, or superbikes of the past.
