Nice video but scary, taking your life in your hands driving on the wrong side of the road. :eek:
Regards Martin.

That road is about 1 1/2 lanes for 2 way traffic but on a motorcycle you're ok.  Not very many hair pin turns.  Now if you want a hairy road watch this video on my RD 350.  see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHQNsOiECNk

Ahh, memories of my RD250!

Not fond of riding videos set to music. Only music I want to here is the engine.....

Like a boss, Johnny. Gotta have those swing-arm bearings torqued just right for that kinda smooth leaning.

You guys need to learn to ride on the right side of the road which is the left. Much safer.

OK, you asked for it then.  Here's the sweet sound of the yamaha RD 350: a mixture of tin cans dragging behind you and then the nice, throaty roar of a 2 stroke winding out.  No background music.

 I apologize if you guys don't want to see this, just skip it.
