RD200
Another steed from the stable of the Nubster. A Yamaha RD200 Electric Start. The stuff that many a junior-high school heart palpitations were jump started for.
Twin leading shoe front brakes, real suspension (for the time), reed-valve induction with twin Mikuni carbs, twin pipes, and a sexy as socks on a pig metal-flake purple paint job. And chrome, lots of chrome. Man, what's not to lust after?

sweet bike. Man thats a lot front brake!
Lot of fromt brake....tell me about it.
While working in a Yamaha shop years ago, I was testing one of these little beauties, when a slightly to agressive application of the front brake caused it to stop rotating,leading to a really cool slide across the shops parking lot. On my A$$....right in front of the owner trying to convince a potential customers WIFE that motorcycles were SAFE!
