Folks.

As the title suggests, I have a spare Yamaha RD 350 YPVS motor that came with a 1988 F2 that I'm renovating. I've always had a thing for RDs since my first RD350LC back in the mid 80's & I'm aware it's feasible to fit the motor into a Lambretta.

Can anyone suggest a resident expert that may be able to offer advice &/or any publications, pictures etc (anything really!) that may be able to persuade me this is either a good or daft idea?

Cheers

Lambretta Marky

Its certainly been done before late 80’s/early 90’s

If you search Alan Rosser YPVS Lambretta the search throws up some pictures and articles

Other watching a demo of someone riding one at a rally back in the day thats the sum total of my knowledge.

Thanks & I'll take a look.

There's been plenty better jobs done since the original Rossa though credit it was his idea....or was it Frank Ssnderson ???

The Rossa was plagued with issues that a few people bettered in time based on the concept but at huge cost and I'm sure some head and heart ache.

There was a very good example done by a lad who came on here, it was finished a metal flake AF/DTC style paint. He knew what he was about and a very clever lad.....Holty, I think ???

Give him message ?
