The RD350LC was always a favorite for acquisition (with the blue decals). I started on a RD125 (unrestricted air-cooled twin) so I like RD's. Only ever rode the 250lc, then got the CB400F2 and then a black CB250N, substantial comfort uplift! (though not priority at that time).When I bought my new B Reg VT250FD, took my mind off the Yams. I have a VT250FD suprisingly nippy for a 250, like a lot of older bikes the 350lc although blistering in the early 80’s like the XR2/XR3 you would be really disappointed if you rode/drove one now performance has come on leaps and bounds. Just look at the 0-60s |

that's the same as my mates but it needs resto I was trying to get it of him but I could not find exhausts and parts are not as easy to find as a SD  |

Never ridden one, but do fancy a nice 350 as a sunny day toy.

We will have to be careful there are members who are anti two strokers, one has passed me this cracking photo from back in the day, I told him it’s a good job the sd is silver to be in company with 2 strokers, I think I hit a nerve 😂  |

My mate has a 350LC in AKAI colours and it looked awesome, until he stuffed it into a sandstone wall!
