Rescuing the Tiniest RD: 1974 Yamaha RD60

Rescuing the Tiniest RD: 1974 Yamaha RD60 #vintagemotorcycle #motorcyclerewind #rd60 In this episode of Motorcycle Rewind, we dig into the smallest member of Yamaha’s legendary RD family—the 1974 Yamaha RD60. At just 58ccs, this tiny two-stroke looks like a baby RD350, but as we quickly find out… it’s got a mischievous streak. We got it started, hit the road for that all-important first test ride, and—of course—it decided to quit on us. After pushing it home, we tore into the carburetor, gave it a good cleaning, and WhooHoo—it fired right back up! Feeling good, we set off on a second ride… only to end up pushing it back again. That’s vintage bikes for you—one minute you’re celebrating, the next you’re sweating on the side of the road. If you love old Yamahas, vintage two-strokes, or just the thrill (and heartbreak) of trying to revive old motorcycles, you’re going to enjoy this one. Sometimes the journey is more entertaining than the destination. 🛠️ Subscribe to Motorcycle Rewind for more revivals, adventures, tips, and stories from the garage.
