Stock or Modified? Yamaha RD350s

In Cafe Racer, Japan by AbhiLeave a Comment

This seller’s got two examples of Yamaha RD350s – one’s a cafe custom and the other is stock. Which do you prefer?

Yamaha RD350 - Cockpit

The custom has 11,700 miles right now, and the engine was rebuilt at 10k. It has an aftermarket exhaust, FCR flat slide carbs, Hagon rear shocks, clipons, and a steering damper.

The stock bike has has 4,500 miles and it looks pretty good – it’d be my choice of the pair.

Find this RD for sale here on Craigslist for $4,300 in the suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona. Or you can get both bikes for $8k. Which one would you take?
