I currently have a couple including a 1976 C model that I bought back in 1979, in my sixth form year. It’s in pretty good original condition and puts a smile on my face every time I’m in the man cave and reflect on great times long ago with mates, bikes and carefree times. I would dearly love to own a 1978 E model, which way, way back then was too much money for a skinny high school boy, who earned $25 per week packing groceries and delivering newspapers to pay bike payments and petrol for a very thirsty two-stroke. If any of your readers know of a Yamaha RD400E in any condition or in bits, I would love to hear from them.
