Yamaha RD400

Bruce Lee rode a Yamaha RD400 in the 1978 film "Game of Death."

Yamaha's RD series, which came out in 1973, became very popular, and RD, which stood for Race Developed, became synonymous with fast, easy-to-ride, and smooth-running 2-stroke twins. The largest of these air-cooled models was the RD400, which was a further development of the RD350.

It differed from its predecessor with, among other things, a new and more angular design, and cast rims. The RD400 was in production from 1976-1980.
