The Yamaha 350 cc two stroke Grand Prix was Yamaha Motor's largest displacement sport model at the time. It covered the 400 m sprint off the line in 13.8 seconds, and could reach a maximum speed of 173 km/h. Featuring a newly developed 350cc, 2-cylinder engine with aluminum cylinders, 36 hp at 7500 rpm has a return type 5-speed transmission, "Autolube" and more, it boasted excellent cooling capacity and light weight. The R1 chassis featured a highly rigid double cradle frame, telescopic front fork, 3-way adjustable rear suspension and fully waterproof drum brakes. Awesome bike! Around 346 lbs dry. Mixes it own oil and gas! Lots of torque and fast even for today! Vibrates a little though, but tolerable and fun bike to ride, what a blast from the past!
