==Summary==
==Summary==
The '''Yamaha RD-60''' had a 5-speed manual transmission. The machine below is a '74/75 vintage, it's not my motorcycle - although mine is identical to it) a relatively small number were sold.  For such a small motorcycle it is surprisingly capable, it's 5 speed gearbox and manual transmission let you use all the ponies it has, which according to a period test is about 4.  The engine red line is 10,000 RPM, and you'll want to keep it revved up as it makes almost no power below 6000 RPM.

Thirty-two years later not much is available for this little bike from Yamaha, so for use as a daily rider at this point is not recommended, tires for the RD-60 are very scarce and any body parts were unobtanium 20 years back, so if you need repair parts you will need a great deal of luck to find it.  Sometimes you can find a listing for an RD-60 part on line.

Definitely a budget collectible with prices for good bikes right at the $3500 mark, junkers bikes are the only source of parts
Definitely a budget collectible with prices for good bikes right at the $1500 mark, junkers are worth almost nothing.
