Nope......3 years ago, I quit a good job I had in Bend, OR......after trying to support 2 households for a 5 month stint.....right when the housing market fell on it's face!:doh:
I dragged home the 27ft. trailer I was living in......sold it & my RD to catch up on bills.:frown:

Vowed to myself when I bought my XT6..... that I wasn't gonna ever let this Red & White Yamaha go! :riding:

Sorry to hear that, unfortunately sometimes we don't have choice but give up valuable things to catch up with the bills. as long we are healthy I guess everything could be replaced :)

Thanks for trying to help ID this bike. It is at the orchard presently so I have requested pictures to post here. (So wait....)

I can tell you that this is a semi-automatic 4 speed. Color is deep red and a Backbone Bike. It had originally a white faring down from headtube and over engine. This is a 2T engine and this version Yamaha seat unlocksfrom rear and tilts forward to access 2T and Petrol tanks. Ignition and fork lock are one unit and located center of fork in front of rider. It has 17" spoked Chrome rims and tires. Also engine covers right and left side are either chromed or polished alloy.

Again serial is: 23U- 038223

Cheers,
David

Any information would be great!

Thank you!

Hi, you're in luck-I just joined the forum and happen to have the '64to'72 year Chilton's manual from the local library. Your bike is a Yamaha U5 Newport 50(CC) with a 4.5 hp engine, auto trans and gets 200mpg at 18mph(not the top speed). It also has oil injection and rotary valve fuel induction. Yous is missing the leg flaring on the body, similar to a Vespa, but more modern and cooler looking. Guess I'll get to my own question later but glad to help! Gotta go!

Hello I have a similar one RD 250 F Daytona. It is in good working state but it has not been moved for many years. I have been told the only difference with the RD400 are the cylinders and pistons...I have to sell it due to lack of space. It is in Athens Greece. If anyone interested please make an offer to the email [email protected].
Thank you
