Yamaha RD350B Great Restoration Project opportunity. UK bike with V5
1976 Yamaha RD350B.UK Bike with V5 Registration DocumentI've owned this bike for a few years now. The previous owner had stripped it and had started restoring it. I've stored it since and haven't got round to doing it. I know these bikes well. I got my first 350B in 1977 and I've owned 3 or 4 since. Unfortunately ill health means my biking days are probably behind me. For those of you not familiar with the 350B, this was the last of the 'round tank' RD's. After this came the 'coffin tank' RD400 C, D, E and F.I've ridden thousands of miles on 350B's and they are fabulous little bikes. Fast, reliable, comfortable and above all, brilliant fun.

In my opinion they look a million times better than the RD400 and the silver B model is the best looking of them all. They sound amazing too with a real howl when you get the revs up. I enjoy riding the 350 more than the later 'long stroke' 400's which don't have the same willingness to rev.This one is a great opportunity to make a beauty. It is very complete and while I obviously can't guarantee that every little piece is there, as far as I can see, pretty much everything is there, including some very difficult to find parts such as the front mudguard complete with stays. The tank is nice and solid, the best I've seen as they often go a bit thin and has been primed. The exhausts and mudguards will obviously need chrom...
