The day I saw the RD for the very first time, is a day that will be forever embedded within my very being. I remember being on my way to the stationery store, about to pick up some photocopies of documents for my tattoo studio. Riding down the lane on my RX100, I caught a glimpse of an RD350 leaning against a wall in front a garage.
I should have looked back. I had spent two days and nights tirelessly working on the bike, forgetting to eat, declining to sleep.
Perhaps Yamaha is the only motorcycle company in India which has produced multiple legendary bike models and one of those is the "Yamaha RD350". I rest my case here by mentioning nothing more then this in respect of the RD350 as this space for description is limited and can not do justice even to the introduction of the bike
