Built in Ontario, Canada, this Yamaha RD 400 got a total overhaul courtesy of its builder Cam Smyth. The bike hails from 1976 and has a two-stroke motor that formerly had 400ccs of displacement, more on that later.
Smyth Innovations, you can find them on Facebook posting about their builds and features, recently built a Yamaha RD 400 into a tracker-style motorcycle, but it’s more than just a coat of paint and some retro-inspired body panels that make this bike something special. As the story goes, it started with a customer but two bikes were brought in and not just one. A pair of RD 400s were brought to Smyth Innovations, with one being intended for a complete end-to-end restoration, while the other is the bike you’re seeing now.
