This 1974 Yamaha RD350 is finished in metallic maroon and is powered by a numbers-matching air-cooled 347cc two-stroke parallel twin paired with a six-speed transmission. Equipment includes a reupholstered two-up seat, a front disc brake, and chrome fenders. The bike reportedly remained with the family of its first owner in Oregon until it was acquired by the seller in 2020. Subsequent service by the seller is said to have included changing the transmission oil, rebuilding the fork, resetting the ignition timing, and cleaning the carburetors as well as replacing the air filter and spark plugs. This RD350 is offered with a Washington title in the seller’s name.

The seller notes scratches on the fuel tank and a dent in the front fender as well as corrosion near frame welds.

Wire-spoke 18″ wheels are wrapped in older Dunlop Gold Seal tires that have visible sidewall cracking. Stopping power comes from a single disc and two-piston caliper up front and a drum at the rear. The conventional fork is said to have been rebuilt under current ownership and rear suspension consists of dual shocks mounted to the swingarm.

The chrome handlebar is mounted aft of Nippon Seiki instrumentation that includes a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an 8,500-rpm redline, and a five-digit odometer showing 2k miles, 250 of which have been ridden by the seller. The tachometer lens is cloudy and worn paint is visible near the indicator light cluster.
