Good Vlog Zohair! Just a few things I would like to correct: 1) The RD was NEVER imported in India. Even the first bike that rolled out the Escorts factory in Faridabad (a 20 min ride from my home) had more than 95 per cent Indian content. It had to be: the tooling was done way before the bike was launched. 😃The Made In Japan engravings you see on some casings comprise one of the only few parts that were sourced from Japan. 2) Yes, Escorts skipped the disc for cost, but the bike's front drum wasn't bad. It had a twin-lead system unlike the common single-lead drum brakes you see on some bikes even today! 3) It's a myth that RD stood for Race Derived. Yes, that is in fact the biggest myth when it comes to RD. Google RD vs R3 and the first result will be an article that talks about it in detail. 4) The RD wasn't discontinued in Japan or elsewhere in 76 due to emission norms. They just moved on to the RD 400, RD500, and to the LCs finally before the eventual demise of street two strokes globally. A situation not dissimilar to the RX series in India which started from the 100 and then ended with the RXZ 5-Speed, and then four-strokes took over. In both cases, the bikes that came later on were more powerful, refined, etc. but just like the RX-100 in India, it's the air-cooled RD350 (and not the 400) that did a lot of things first (like beating four-strokes twice its engine size on racetracks and B-roads) and is therefore a global legend. 😃 Regards, Syed Shiraz '83 RD350 HT, '88 RD350 LT, '95 RX-100, '73 Jawa 250
This video made my day. What a treat to watch. I had one in college mid 90s and have one now under a cover in HYD. Also a miniature version by mini champs in New York just to admire. It's a sickness you never get rid of.
Nice video and love it that you keep it real always! RDs ka maza hi kuch aur hai. Over the years I've had multiple bigger bikes added to my garage. But, aaj bhi RDs ko dekh ke hi sab se zyada maza aata.
RUclips is messed up!! Zohair Ahmed , Vikas Rachamalla, Shariq V, Abhinav bhatt are not getting the views they deserve! And people posting 💩 crappy videos with clickbait are getting millions of views 🤧
tru Bikemaniac13...usko sab cheez pichvaade mein ghusaane mein mazaa aata hai. He shud b in B'wud wid da way he influences ppl wid products...kabhi saala Mama Earth, ab kuch coffee based face cleaner...and phukat chand coffee kabhi bhi, kahin bhi...ppl call he runs...dunno hw Dino tolerates dat brainfart!!
From the bike to your accent... enjoyed it thoroughly. Had the opportunity to buy one for 55k about 10yrs ago, but was too naive then. Anyways congrats to you buddy. Ride it everyday bhaii.
One of my gang member have his favr8 dialog is " G*"d kya nichay say gaddi allag baglay ti " [In marathi it sound so loki] If ever he is ask whts power.
Rd is not ment for kids I broke my bones on the love of my life and would be happy to do it again I pulled her to 160 love to see the kids now making noise they have no clue of the monster we had
hie bro I AM from bombay . love your commentary you always doo in english and hyderabadi language. i always enjoy your bike reviews , my dad was in army in higher lieutenant post . that time i wasnt born . my mom and dad went to japan . over there he falled in love with yamaha and imported RD350 RD350 LC RD400 TO INDIA . i am 32 right now . when i became 18 he gifted me his 2 love RD350 LC . AND WHEN I became 25 he gifted me his RD400 .... i daily ride those 2 bikes to office . i have ported those 2 bikes and it throws 10% emission smoke earlier it use to throw 90% . and dad said i am keeping and this will be my personal bike RD350 HC . bcoz he enjoys the raw power and yes all 3 bike have front and back brakes . he imported 2004 . even i am a government job worker ( i am sanitory inspector ) from past 3 years . thats i wanted to share thiss ..... love your channel
Finally RD, zohair bhai checkout the ktm 300 exc tpi dirtbike, it is a 2 stroke but the injector is placed inside the transfer port, not street legal though but Royal Jordanian from London rides one in supermoto spec and is street legal.
Ngeeeeeeeeeeeeyeeeeee... That was funny 🤣.. I rode ht for just 3 kms and felt that bad a** experience which is greater than bs3 390s. People here don't know about this piece of gem...
I had an rxg-135 and it has been with me for around 5-6 years and i literally used to talk with it 😂 Raat ke 2 baje spark plug haat dedeta ( thodi dur challe pls paidal nakko karr kal bhaithreen service karatu 🤣🤣🤭 aur kabi kabi chal b jaati thi 😂 RX series are something more than bikes it takes lots of care and precautions Agar kuch b upar niche kare aadi raat ku pidal kardeti Insha Allah in future I'll own a set of all RX series I love them more than these new gen bikes Literally aansu aagae awaaz sunke 😅😅
Zohair bhai iss bike ka restoration vala video dalo aur thode videos banvo kuch bhi chale ga kyuki muje aapki Hyderabadi accent bahut badiya lagti hee love you ❤️🙏
Yes Broi newer have features, electronic features bla bla bla but they failed to connect men due to lack of soul, that's may the reason why people now change motorcycle every 3 to 4 years and older gen people own it for life time!!
nice & clean review dear also please give information of rd fever tank bond nisar bhai ka bhi mension kijiye the nicest part after the rat rod jeep review love it the truth you have mensioned is rd restoration never finishes ktm guys kawasaki guys ask your dad what rd 350 was you nailed it.
Zohair bhai is man of word did what he said in his Rx 135 video congratulations bro
The rx engine in impulse is remaining . just excited for that
@@mohammedfarman1056 bechega Garhwali 350 tumhara number
RD - Rapid Death 😂
Torque, power band and fu*king drum brakes.. really a hoot to ride!
The last time i rode RD350 was '98. Its definitely a legend. That exhaust sound still rings in my ear.
9:33 Men will be men😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
One of the most desirable bike of all times. Any one can ride this with flat seat and most comfortable sitting posture and dynamics

Engine along with carb were imported in ht varients, but it were detuned.

Honestly this vlog will shine as a masterpiece. Bike has a soul is the icing on the cake 🍰 compared to current gen
Zohair + rare bikes deadly combination
That's what he is....🔥🔥🔥
That exhaust note.. just that exhaust note 💖
Love the hyderabadi skeltonic accent 👌👌 Thanks for sharing the japanese-indian yamaha aesthetics.
Back again Zohair bhai with a classic legend 🥰😍
Commentary and the bike absolutely legit 🔥😂
Oesome bike.
Mere pass bhi 1995 se hai... One owner.
My father owned this and the RX in his youth!
Over here in Bangladesh we have CD80 and Yamaha super deluxe 100
Nice video and love it that you keep it real always! RDs ka maza hi kuch aur hai. Over the years I've had multiple bigger bikes added to my garage. But, aaj bhi RDs ko dekh ke hi sab se zyada maza aata.

Truly the only youtuber with zero bullshit
20:31 abba saying : kaiku laya maut ka kuaa💯😂 legit🔥
Zohair bhai: Legend bikes
Saste sold out youtuber/ fake influencers: BMW Scooter is the best.

This man is just different his choices are antique, classic,new,old and the ideas are 👍😘
Oooh bhaiii Yamaha😍 Bhai i love your way of talking ekdum straight forward and a little sarcastic👌🏻
One day that bike will be in my garage
The way you talk man awesome ❤️😘👍
Wow what a bike this. One of my all time favourite bike. I hope and pray one day I will have one in my garage soon
I like your ride n straight talk
Altaf bhai is best ,he can feel the bike as if she is telling something to her💕
Proud to own one High Torque since 12 years.
Kya bolna bhai...zohair bhai tum legend admi ho ✨
This was a legend then n not in today's date.
Ok
From the bike to your accent... enjoyed it thoroughly. Had the opportunity to buy one for 55k about 10yrs ago, but was too naive then. Anyways congrats to you buddy. Ride it everyday bhaii.
Dill Khush ho gaya bhai RD ke bare meh jaan ke 🔥
Masha Allah
Huge fan of your intro music 👌👌
Zohair I use to have Yamaha 350 forc2 years and I understand it is difficult to run and functioning yamaha 350. Keep it up
Sounds like a inline 4 ,at lower revs. Wao...🥰
Convert this to a Cafe Racer
One of my gang member have his favr8 dialog is " G*"d kya nichay say gaddi allag baglay ti " [In marathi it sound so loki]
If ever he is ask whts power.
Point system is the old distributor type ignition system(usually found on cars before bs3). Once you get used to it, it gets pretty easy to work on.
1st of all congratulations for RD
Pls make video while Altaf bhai tuning and timing ur bike
And comparison after and before tuning 👍🏻👍🏻
Rd is not ment for kids I broke my bones on the love of my life and would be happy to do it again I pulled her to 160 love to see the kids now making noise they have no clue of the monster we had

Kya baat hai! 😍
Any updates on your rx bhai
This bike is perfect example of Love and hate relationship, I had 5 of them before calling it off
Dream to own it 💖
Love affair never ends
Bikers ... ride this machine ... atleast once in your lifetime ....
I am proud to say that I had owned one myself.
Ngeeeeeeeeeeeeyeeeeee... That was funny 🤣..
I rode ht for just 3 kms and felt that bad a** experience which is greater than bs3 390s. People here don't know about this piece of gem...
I subscribed this man bcoz of his accent after watching that vlog on R6
Living the Dream
Mashallah 😂😂😂
I had an rxg-135 and it has been with me for around 5-6 years and i literally used to talk with it 😂
Raat ke 2 baje spark plug haat dedeta ( thodi dur challe pls paidal nakko karr kal bhaithreen service karatu 🤣🤣🤭 aur kabi kabi chal b jaati thi 😂
RX series are something more than bikes it takes lots of care and precautions
Agar kuch b upar niche kare aadi raat ku pidal kardeti
Insha Allah in future I'll own a set of all RX series
I love them more than these new gen bikes
Literally aansu aagae awaaz sunke 😅😅
I was waiting for years for him to ride this
Super love from Bangalore
