Summary
This 1974 Yamaha RD250 was originally purchased and modified by legendary motorcycle racer Don Vesco, featuring a 350cc two-stroke twin engine conversion and prototype "Cafe Royale" fairings with serial number 0001. Museum stored for much of its life, the bike has only 500 miles added by the current owner and recently underwent a complete engine overhaul. It also boasts period magnesium wheels and RD400 brakes.
