 ==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.

 For as small as it is it's surprisingly comfortable with a fairly compliant suspension and well padded solo seat so extended rides are not completely out of the question.  The motorcycle is equipped with a full electrical system with lights and turn signals as well as a comprehensive set of gauges including a large speedometer and tach with a turn signal and high beam indicator lights. Interestingly this model did not come equipped with a green neutral indicator.  The RD-60 is also equipped with Yamaha's Autolube, premixing oil and fuel is not necessary.
