SUMMARY

An air-cooled, two-stroke, Torque Induction, twin-carb, parallel twin from Yamaha offering 20bhp @8000rpm and a five-speed gearbox.

 

 

DESCRIPTION

  • Yamaha's RD200 was produced from 1973 and was a great learner-legal commuter bike until the rule change in 1983
  • To get around the learner limit of 125cc, this bike was re-registered as a 125cc with the DVLA, however, the presence of a starter button gives it away as the RD125 never had an electric start
  • Powered by an air-cooled, two-stroke, Torque Induction, twin-carb, parallel twin, the bike was quite fast for its size with some magazine testers exceeding 80mph
  • High-revving potential, 20bhp @8,000rpm
  • Telescopic forks, dual shocks and a 5-speed gearbox
  • This bike is in great condition for its age and has covered just 8,745 miles
  • Stored for some time, so an element of recommissioning is to be expected
