Line 23: Line 68:
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 $1500 mark, junkers are worth almost nothing.
