In recent days, there has been a growing trend among the youth to purchase sports bikes in the market. Yamaha’s RX100 used to be the preferred choice of many, along with the Royal Enfield which dominated the mid-level segment back in the 80s. However, to end the reign of the Bullet, Yamaha is planning to introduce the Yamaha RD350 in the market.
Yamaha recently launched the RZ350 and RZ250 variants in Japan. Considering the craze for retro bikes in India, Yamaha might bring these models to the Indian market as well. During the 80s and 90s, the RD350 was considered the most popular bike in India. Known for its classic design and powerful performance, the RD350 still holds a special place in the hearts of many enthusiasts. It is still possible to find RD350 bikes in good condition in the hands of several customers. Now, Yamaha is all set to launch this bike again in a new avatar.
Talking about the engine of the Yamaha RD350, the company has used the old engine in this model. The RD350 used to have a 347cc air-cooled engine, capable of generating 39 bhp power, and it was mated to a 6-speed gearbox. In the new avatar, it is expected to come with a four-stroke engine.
When it comes to features, the Yamaha RD350 could sport features such as LED headlights with DRLs, a digital instrument console, dual-channel ABS, Bluetooth connectivity, traction control system, and assist and slipper clutch.
With the introduction of the Yamaha RD350, it is anticipated that it will give tough competition to the Royal Enfield Bullet and other bikes in the market. The return of this iconic bike is sure to excite bike enthusiasts, who have been eagerly waiting for its relaunch.
