Yamaha RD350: The upcoming Yamaha RD350 is set to put an end to Royal Enfield’s reign and bring a host of exciting features. In recent times, the market for retro motorcycles has been booming, with Royal Enfield dominating the mid-segment. Many companies are now reintroducing popular old bikes in new avatars in India, and Yamaha could be joining the trend soon with the entry of the Yamaha RD350.
Yamaha recently trademarked the RZ350 and RZ250 models in Japan. Considering the growing craze for retro bikes in India, it is possible that Yamaha might also introduce the RZ350 and RZ250 in the country. A few years ago, this bike had a significant presence in the market. The RD350 was quite popular in India during the 80s and 90s, known for its classic design and powerful performance. Even today, many customers own RD350 bikes in excellent condition and are eagerly waiting for its relaunch.
The old Yamaha RD350 featured a 347cc air-cooled engine that generated a maximum power of 39 bhp, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The new version is likely to feature a four-stroke engine. The Yamaha RD350 will compete against Royal Enfield 350cc, Honda H’ness CB350, Jawa/Yezdi, and upcoming Bajaj-Triumph and Hero-Harley bikes in the Indian market.
In terms of features, the Yamaha RD350 is expected to include a LED headlamp, digital instrument console, dual-channel ABS, Bluetooth connectivity, traction control system, and assist and slipper clutch.
