The design intention with this unique one-off motorcycle was to create something very
close to the the original: The Yamaha YR5
It has become evident with the recent resurgence of interest in Japanese bikes as Classics in their own right, that history is best understood from a distance. For years collectors sought the RD350 as the most collectable of the two stroke sports bike.
We’re hitting that time of year again when every motorcycle manufacture is preparing or has just launched their latest creations for 2016.But I’m not feeling the usual sense of excitement!!
Perhaps it’s because I’m getting old (er), but back in the 90’s and even the 2000s the anticipation that accompanied the unveiling of every model was a bit like the run-up to Christmas was as a kid.
