    A bit like the lad who'd heard that 2-strokes were faster than 4-strokes so wondered if he could just "remove" two of his strokes to make his bike quicker! :D

    What a beauty it looks brand new. And you don't see many these days. That's the early rd isn't it.

    What is it about RD’s that gives us all the horn? I love them, they just look so right, the proportions are perfect.

    I think they bring some of us (of a certain age) back to a time when you couldn’t believe that a bike like that could be ridden on L Plates!

    I was 17 in 1982 so I just missed the 250 boat, I had to put up with a CB100N instead.

    Joe, The early ones were made in 1973,mine is a 1977 model but registered in 1978.

    It was originally a Cumbria police bike.

    A friend who lives in Kendall, Cumbria didn’t know the history of the bike and when he first saw the bike and reg number he said I know this bike and he confirmed that it was indeed a Cumbria police bike.
    Saying that him and his mates used to get pulled up regularly by the policeman riding this bike whilst they were tearing around Kendall on their Yamaha Fizzies(FS1E).

    I totally rebuilt it over ten years ago down to every nut and bolt and I used it regularly.
    It would get quite a few people taking photos of it and wanting to chat whilst out and about, you don’t get much of that with modern bikes.

    Like most classic bikes it’s a engaging satisfying ride which I’m sure you would agree being a classic bike owner yourself.

    You done the bike proud and so should you be. It really is a terrific machine. I never did have one. All my mates had them and I had the super six.
    Regards
    Joe.

    Now they were and still are in my opinion a gorgeous machine.

    They were a quick bike in their day, top speed 90 mph if I remember correctly and could be ridden on L plates. No wonder the learner laws changed.

    They could embarrass a few British bikes of much larger capacity with superior performance, handling, braking and electrics that worked.

    I remember when they first came out and in 1966/67 a lad who used to frequent the same coffee bar as I did had one.
    His had a full race fairing,racing seat and ace bars but it looked a bit plain as the fairing was white and his bike was red.

    His brain surgeon must have been chasing him with a dewalt and a hole cutter and that’s where he probably got the idea from!!
