RD 350 is a legend who laid the foundation of performance motorcycling in the world. The Yamaha RD models were among a series of performance motorcycles built by the Japanese brand.

Yamaha started the performance two-stroke trend in the global market. Starting with the Yamaha YR3 in 1969, air-cooled parallel-twin two-stroke motorcycles became race winners. The YR3 was later followed by the Yamaha R5 in 1970 which later evolved into the RD350 in 1973.
