Re: OMGWTF – Stu Lloyd Yamaha RD350LC
Don't like the bar end mirrors.
Don't like those dopey,titchy indicators.
Don't like the billboard racing numbers,you'd look a right dick on the road.
The main body of the bike is fine,if a tad gaudy.

Now you've pointed them out, they do seem to be £14.73 Chinese shite instead of a nice set.

Re: OMGWTF – Stu Lloyd Yamaha RD350LC
Nicely engineered and I wouldn't say no. But I'd have to ditch all that tat (and throw a bucket of dirty water at it).
I can feel the powerband from here. Those LC motors had a really obvious dip before they went nuts. I would still lean towards a YPVS motor, they're just all round better and when they hit the powerband, the sky's the limit...
Not my bike (not really my video either...)

The blue hose is just wrong. Otherwise I could cope

Re: OMGWTF – Stu Lloyd Yamaha RD350LC
Thats yucky- a proper bitza/ tart's handbag, there's nothing I like about it really apart from possibly the carbs and reed blocks, and it having number boards is just too naff for words- it wouldn't get around a track very well at all with those pipes where they are
But this vid sums up why well set up 2-strokes are so brilliant, just so addictiveScrewdriver wrote: ↑Tue Nov 02, 2021 11:08 am.....................

They exist, plenty of them both in the UK and mainland Europe - is why I love the longer tours I do so much

Timing is everything,in that regard. This is the number one reason I mostly ride in the early mornings. I can sometime ride for miles without ever seeing another vehicle.

No! This time of year I settle for whatever I can get.
