Yamaha RD350 has been one of the iconic bikes from the Japanese brand. Like the rest of the world, it earned positive response in India too, but here we knew it as the Rajdoot 350. It was in business in the country between 1983 and 1990. After more than two decades, this machine still amuses the riders and draws attention. Here we have the RD350 customised to an aggressive avatar by the JC Moto.

Painted in flashy Orange, the customised bike is christened as the Sun Chaser. It comes inspired by a typical scrambler look and with minimalistic bodywork to reflect the genuine charm of the stock model. The Yamaha RD350 Sun Chaser gets a modified headlamp assembly painted in black. The headlamp incorporates four LED units offering brighter illumination.
