NOS pipes, all original Yamaha paint and panels. original paint on wheels restored... Original bores, matching numbers...... The list goes on, it was just a labour of love to get back to the bike I had when I was 18...

I can't take credit for the pictures, They're from the review that Practical Sportsbikes did for the December 2014 issue. The photographer kindly sent through all the originals. The pics were taken on Farthing Downs in Surrey, with almost a full studio set up of lights etc. It drew some funny looks from passers by..! I have lots of them but this is enough for now...

Best power valve in the best colours.
I am now reunited with an N1 thanks to a lovely guy in Nottingham who sold me his bike last February on Valentine's Day.
My wife always says I'm an unimaginative when it comes to romance. Well she didn't see this one coming.

A gorgeous bike. If I didn't have so much on my to do list with the other ones I have I'd be tempted to buy another like this one to tinker with. This for me was THE bike that I'll always regret parting with.

Beautiful. My second RD350 was a white/red N1 and was my favourite. After having my brothers '82 LC in the garage for a few weeks I'm sorely tempted by one of these.
