rd 250 or 350?

Post by ajs71 »

All, new to the site...need help trying to determine whether a bike is a 250 or 350.
Engine and frame numbers match and start with 352.
One site tells me it is a 73 rd 250, but there seems to be a bit of BS on some sites.
Info on-line seems a little confusing and thought someone here would be able to help...
Cheers A

352 means it left the factory in 1975 as a RD 250 A.

It still might be a threefiddy if the barrels have been changed - a fairly common mod.

Piccy would help with ID. Look on the side of the barrel at the base for the capacity,
