Yamaha RD400 – The King of the Road-Going Two-Strokes

For many enthusiasts, the Yamaha RD400 represents the peak of the classic road-going two-stroke era.

Introduced as the successor to the hugely successful RD350, the RD400 offered more power, improved torque and the same lightweight handling that made the RD range famous around the world.

Quick, responsive and full of character, the RD400 delivered an exciting riding experience that earned it a loyal following among both everyday riders and performance enthusiasts.

Its sharp styling, twin-cylinder engine and unmistakable exhaust note helped make it one of the most desirable motorcycles of the late 1970s.

Today the RD400 remains a highly collectable classic and is often regarded as one of the finest two-stroke road bikes ever built.

If you could take one classic two-stroke out for a Sunday morning ride, would the Yamaha RD400 be your choice?
