In Japan, Standard by AbhiLeave a Comment

Post Sale Update: This RD200 sold for $2,251 on Iconic Motorbike Auctions.


It’s simple, it’s cheap, and it’s about to meet reserve – today on the auction site we’ve got a Yamaha RD200!

Yamaha’s famous two-stroke street bike line-up of “RD” models had several displacements for the discerning rider – 125, 200, 250, 350, and 400. Oddly enough, the 200 was the only one that Yamaha installed an electric starter to, and the sidecovers boldly advertised that fact. The electric starter showed that Yamaha designed the 200 for newbies and commuters. As Yamaha put it in one of their ads, “kick the kicking habit with the no-nonsense machine from Yamaha.”

This example has 6,389 miles and it’s a very cheap way to get yourself a classic two-stroker! Find this Yamaha RZ500 project for sale here on Iconic Motorbike Auctions Powered by Bike-urious with bidding up to $1,400 and the reserve not yet met in Hillsboro, Oregon.
