Yamaha RD

After the release of the new V-MAX, Yamaha wants to surprise the public again, letting out the possible release of the Yamaha RD and TDR 350 with twin-cylinder, two stroke engines.

After the renderings created by Motosketches, with Oberdan Bezzi models, an extremely compact and sporty naked is revealed, designed to guarantee some fun.

We can already imagine the excellent performance that this type of engine could provide, but the other interesting news is that the price should come in at under 6,000 euros.

To confront the more restrictive anti-pollution norms, the company is said to have developed some new technology in planning the motors.

The bike could possibly be sided with another historical version, the TDR 350, heir to the 250cc from the 1980’s.

In fact, on the basis of the RD 350, the next generation TDR should have a sporty drive, with a higher and more frontal riding position typical of bikes designed both for city use, and longer trips.

This price could also be below the 6,000 euros mark, which should see excellent sales given that there’s virtually no competition in the sector. The guys over at SoloMoto30 have also reported the news, and now all we have to do is wait for extra information.

Meanwhile, perhaps you’d like to share with us whether you’re keen on the return of two-stroke?

    es fenomenal el retorno de lo mejor que ha existido.el 2tiempos es para gente con pelotas, donde se sabe la potencia inmediata del motor.me pregunto si joden tanto por la contaminacion del rey(2 tiempos) por que no acaban con los diesel.

    I would litterally soil myself when hearing the news then proceed to selling my firstborn to get one as soon as they come out if they really plan on producing new gen RD’s / RZ’s

    I really hope that Yamaha returns to two-strokes again. The TDR 250 was great but a 350 or 400 would be even better! Come on Yamaha, we know that you have the technology to make a clean two-stroke so please make a TDR 350 or 400 for the world! I am partial to the yellow Kenny Roberts look. Please Yamaha, I don’t care that you got rid of Rossi, please build this lightweight machine.

    I have been a fan of the rdz motor and anything 2 stroke for years. They make way more power than a 4 stroke can imagine and are cheaper to get power out of them. And yes, if you keep them clean they will last longer than a 4 stroke because of fewer moving parts for the power they make.
