SUMMARY
A beautifully presented, 247cc 'Elsie' from the first year of 'Liquid Cooled' production. Re-framed many years ago and consequently non-matching numbers. These are highly desirable classics and remain sought-after.
DESCRIPTION
- Introduced on the UK market in May 1980, the learner-legal RD250LC proved an instant hit with younger riders and soon achieved 'cult' status
- The model marked the introduction of Yamaha's legendary "Liquid Cooled" RD Series
- Classic two-stroke thrills from the iconic 247cc liquid-cooled, two-stroke parallel-twin engine, known for its lively power delivery
- The LC was lightweight, nimble and designed for agile handling, making it a popular choice for spirited road riding in its era
- This example was re-framed many years ago and consequently is non-matching numbers. The history file contains correspondence from our vendor explaining the situation
- In excellent condition all round and starts easily
- These are highly desirable classics and remain sought-after due to their significant place in motorcycle history and the engaging riding experience.
