Remember that the engine number should be checked on the bike NOT on the RC book. The LT has block when viewed from the left side of the bike near the base has "Rajdoot 350cc" written on it. The HT block has only 347cc written. Hope this helps you |

The Y350 is a neat bike good for cruises. It is reasonably quick in terms of acceleration, but with only 21 bhp, and a single carb, not much comparison to the RD350 (30.5 bhp HT 27 bhp LT) ================== Hell there was a time I had 3 RD350s too!!! And One Bullet. |

Wow! I'm wildly jealous! Thats really something. Your bikes look fantastic. particularly the silver-grey RD. I didn't know the Y350 was that under-powered for a bike with such a brutal looking engine. Can it be bored up to produce a lot more though? I would imagine so.. And whats top whack on it? Yeah, I know spares are a real pain to find. There are a couple of Y350s that have been standing at Addu bhai's for a while now for want of spares. |

I own a RD 350 for more than 20 years. Bought brand new in 1988. Till date, no repainting has been done. Still carries the original red paint. Almost all the parts are original. Spanner was applied on her only a few times. I take care of her as someone in my family. Or even more!! It is more than pride to own one of them. It is a part of life. Everything about it is beautiful. Be it the engine, be it the riding etc etc. Even the smell of her exhaust is so much different than the peppy modern motorbikes. I attach a picture of the beauty queen. She is preparing to go for the weekly Sunday evening outing. The only day she is let out from her home. Please let me know your comments. |

Hello Guys, Recently I was in Trivandrum for few days. As I was there only for 5 days I did not take out my RD from its "pickled condition". But out of sheer habit I had to visit the Mechanics I use for my RD up-keep jut to say hello. In one (Murugan, Jagathy TVM) I found two beautiful bikes. I am attaching the pictures here (Bike 1 on this) This belongs to one Mr. Biju/Balu as per Murugan (I could be wrong on the names) What prompted me to take the picture was the beautiful condition it was after the service. I really had a lump in my throat (almost same as I had when I first saw my Blue Beauty) Please also note the following Indicators - All four indicators are fabricated in Trivandrum using RX100 Dome and Lense. See how closely they resemble the original Tail Pipes - Both the tailpipes - from the union to the bend downwards - fabricated in Trivandrum by Mr. Madhu of Vayasalai. The sound was reasonable as well (the bike was in need of tuning- its on Points I believe and Murugan was never a good tuner) I am sure all of you would enjoy this Best Regards. Thanks and Ride Safe Ram I just had to ask if the owner might be interested in selling |

Hi Ram chetta, If I remember correctly, I used to look at you with admiration when you used to ride your peacock blue RD 350 in Poojappura years back. And I stay pretty near to your home back in Poojappura. The bike in your pics is mine. Sorry for not giving an introduction. My name is Balu, basically an automobile engineer. Initial days of career was with San motors (San Storm car division) as a R&D engineer, but now ended up doing a software job. I am using the bike for more than 12 years and the mint condition of the bike is just because I have not taken it to any Mechanic other than Murugan Annan. My bike doesnt run on points. It run on a CDI ignition installed by Murugan Annan. |

Hi Balu Good to see a owner respond after a few months of his bikes being in forum. I still stay in Poojapura (when I am not in Dubai) and my BB is there as well. When your PM is activated (I think it will be after you have 25 posts) please PM your coordinates in Poojapura, so that I can try and place you Best Regards & Drive/Ride Safe Ram |
