An excellent day out on the 80th annual Pioneer run from Epsom to Brighton. Riding my lovely RD250 .
It was such a good day with fantastic Spring weather that I have done 2-3 parts.
A lot of laughing and general heavenly 2 stroke fun.

Me to my friend, I had an rd250b, still wish I was 17 years old, unfortunately, my brain is, but my body is definitely not!

That's just such a beautiful little bike. I owned two of the later 'E' coffin-tank models in the eighties. They were great. I preferred them to the 400 (too thirsty without being that much faster). I'd love another but they cost stupid money.

My era was the 70's. I do have a love of the RD250. Never owned a 400 and they are just as costly. Cheers

When I was at college a mate of mine bought a new RD250, the one with the squarish tank, it would have been 1975 or 1976. I wanted that bike so much, it was so much more than my Suzuki GT125.

I guess that's why I bought this one as it took me back to when I was 17 and I don't think I will lose money on it......Mine was the coffin tank version back in the day with a disc brake. It sure was the bike of an era!!! Cheers Tony

Hey get your engine sorted, be worth a bob or two now!! Glad you like the RD, certainly brought some big smiles to my face.

This is so similar to the YDS7 that my brother had. When did the RD250 come out? I had a new RD250E in 1979. I got it cheap because it was the last of the wire wheel models and everyone wanted the new mag wheels.

I pass my test on my 1975 RD the only time it let me down when I went to work on very cold day and carbs froze up but after 15 mins the heat from the engine thawed them and I was on my way again

Haha....I passed my test on one in 1977 on my 17th birthday!!! Cheers EDDIE

Gorgeous bike. Is it a B model. How reliable are them, in the long term? Thanks

@davexs 5 жыл бұрын

This is the model before A and B and C Just called the RD250. Being a 2 stroke they do need maintenance.

@Endrjo 3 жыл бұрын

is it 5 or 6th gear? what sprockets are you using? looks like mine has lower power from low to middle than yours.
