1974 YAMAHA TWINS Genuine Vintage Ad ~ RD 350 TX 500
1974 Yamaha RD 350 TX 500 original vintage advertisement.
DESCRIPTION:
The 1974 Yamaha Twins. Why they handle like no other motorcycle on earth.
Sweeping through a curve at speed, no other bike approximates the feel of the new 1974 Yamaha Twins. Except a factory road-racer. Which is not really surprising when you consider that the frame, engine, suspension and gearbox on the new RD250 and RD350 are virtual carbon copies of those on the Yamaha team bikes.
The fact is, Yamaha so completely dominates international road-racing that some people think our two-strokes should be barred from racing against the”superbikes!” A recent Cycle News editorial said "The Yamahas... are just too fast, too reliable, go too far on a gallon of gas and have too much of an advantage!’ The writer neglected to mention the real reason for our racing success: Handling. The superbikes are super on the straightaways. But the Yamahas gobble them up in the esses. Which explains why an RD350 will embarrass much bigger bikes on a winding road.
In the four-stroke touring class, our newTX500 also proves that a bike can be strong without being musclebound. As with our two-strokes, power output is the product of technical sophistication, rather than brute size.
The TX500’s double overhead cam eight valve twin will settle in comfortably at 9,000 rpm. In fact the higher you rev it, the smoother it runs. Because a unique Omni-Phase Balancer’ uses counter-rotating balance weights to cancel out engine vibration.The result is a machine which combines the
reliability, simplicity, and compactness of a twin with the smoothness of a four. And the handling of...well,one road tester was so enthralled with the way the TX500 cornered, he compared it to an RD350. Which has to be the ultimate compliment.
You can see the full range of Yamaha Twins now at your
dealer’s. But don’t stop there. Take them out to your favorite corkscrew and lean them into the turns. Instantly, you’ll know what a Yamaha Twin is all about Why few other motorcycles inspire so much affection among their owners. And why we say…
Someday, you’ll own a Yamaha.
