The RD(europe)/RZ(US) 350YPVS, watercooled was made by Yamaha from 1983 to around 1991.

Then in 1992-95 there was a RD350R made in Brazil, using all the moulds etc. bought from Yamaha.

Thanks, I didn't know that. We only got the RZ350 for a couple years in the US. I think '85-'86. They were the last of the big 2-strokes. There was a yellow/black Kenny Roberts edition. I raced one for a while I was in college for a couple years. I hated it. The last US RDs were about 1979 I think with the RD400 Daytona. My friend had one. Fast but dangerious.

What was the rated HP on the RZ350?
