Of course, that sort of hard braking takes its toll and my front discs now need replacing (around 拢160 for the pair). The high revving, very fast engine coupled to triple disc brakes (twin calipers at the front) and lightweight makes it a superb late braker. With the Yamaha TR1 this resulted in both a long 60.6in (1539mm) wheelbase and a need for long fork legs with a high steering head. Unlike my old company bike, this one was finished in basic Yamaha livery in place of the garish day-glo orange Eddie Lawson-style Marlboro paint job. Except me. I missed the bike badly and have hankered after having a go on one again ever since. Yamaha RD500 also feels like a road bike. Regular readers will be aware of my taste for performance two strokes, so it will come as no surprise to find out that my motorcycling babes would be a Suzuki RG500, a RD500 Yamaha or Honda's quirky NS400 triple.
As I now own an NS400 there would be no point in selecting that as a dream ride. Yamaha RD500 Ride !

It鈥檚 an incredible piece of automotive technology, with countless parts working seamlessly to deliver the exhilaration you feel when you press down on the gas pedal.
Some say it鈥檚 a cult machine. During our trip we have met many wonderful people and while in general the people in Europe are much more closed and reserved than say Mexico, we have met many wonderful people here too. While the rear end鈥檚 styling was improved in 1983 with a more conventional clip-on seat and rear bodywork, offering better comfort for riders and passengers alike, it was the modest top end performance that left potential buyers unimpressed.
