"Yamaha RD250LC" (1980) blue
The 1980 Yamaha RD250LC, shown here in white with blue stripes, marked a significant
evolution in the RD series, bringing liquid cooling and monoshock rear
suspension to the already beloved two-stroke platform. Powered by a
247cc liquid-cooled, two-stroke parallel-twin engine, the RD250LC
produced around 35bhp, offering an exhilarating ride with a top
speed of over 90mph. The introduction of liquid cooling allowed for
better engine efficiency and reliability, making it a more refined
machine compared to its air-cooled predecessors. The bike's handling was
further improved by the addition of Yamaha's Monocross rear suspension,
which provided better stability and cornering performance. The RD250LC's
aggressive styling, with its sharp lines and
iconic blue and white color scheme made it an instant
hit among young riders. The 1980 Yamaha RD250LC quickly became a cult
classic, revered for its blend of performance, innovation, and
unmistakable two-stroke character.
