I was looking at the TDR's on ebay again just last week.
My mate had a blue one similar to yours, which I did have a ride on.
I always fancied the black & yellow, almost bought a used one but they just seemed to be a bit too expensive for what they were back then.

Problem for me now is that I fear they'd pale in comparison to modern bikes.. so in a way I'd rather not ride one again. Back then they were awesome..., and I'd like them to stay that way.

Same with me for the rd350.
I remember it being awesome. If I rode one today it would feel like a Lexmoto I think.

yes i know what you mean , the TDR for a 250 is quite nippy , but i remember my mates in the 70,s having BSA,S Nortons etc 750,s 650,s and myself and Steve had aircooled RD,s 250 and 350 , and they kept up with the asthmatic brit iron so much that one guy got rid of his 750 commando and bought an RD350
