I am very fond of both the SR and RD series Yamaha "road" bikes. I had an RD350 for nearly two decades before handing it over to my (older) son.

My sons 83 Sabre V4 700. What a glorious engine, smooth and torque everywhere.
My 84 Nighthawk in-line 4 700s. Two totally different bikes. Mine is much more high strung and at 8,000-11,500 is like a turbo kicking in. It’s quite violent like an instant feeling of double the power. Mine loves to be ridden hard, his just goes but is very powerful and not wanting to admit it, I think “I”might be able to beat my bike riding his (by a hair) Mine rides and handles much better though.

Oh ya, my son also has a XR 100R we use to thrash around the woods. What great bike it will pull my heavy but up any hill whether there is a trail or not, small and light which is great for just diving thru the woods blazing your own path, it just plows thru anything, and it's a Honda so always runs perfect even though it's not used much.
Not my pic but it's in just as nice condition with a much beefier back tire on it.
Not much suspension travel though front or rear. Maybe 3" up travel front and rear and made for much lighter riders so we cannot really go fast on it.

Small bikes are so much fun. The 150 is an absolute BLAST, and the R version has really good suspension.Oh ya, my son also has a XR 100R we use to thrash around the woods.

I had a 150 for a while. Saved me a few times!

yes they are, a 150 woud be great for the suspension but we only use it spur of the moment kind of stuff like " Im bored" its snowing out there's 10 inches of wet snow on the ground lets go see how good it will do kind of stuff.

I went with some buddies a few years ago and couldn’t get my Husky to start. Somebody brought a 150 as an extra so I jumped on it, most fun I’d had in the woods in a long while. Makes you feel like you’re haulin some serious tail!I had a 150 for a while. Saved me a few times!

Nice!
I found myself splitting lanes at 50mph on my way home from work one day and decided I wanted to see my kids grow up so I sold it.
I don't have the garage space now as I'm not willing to sell my car just to make room for a 'cycle now.

Mine started life as an R75/6 and I got lucky and had an R100 engine given to me by a lifelong motorcycling friend, those extra 250 CCs really woke it up
Absolutely.
My highway bike in the mid 90s was an RS100 fitted with an R90S mini fairing.
90 to 100mph all day long without breaking a sweat.
Never once let me down.
Electronic ignition, max jetting in the stock carbs, basically open pipes.
Stiffened springs front and back. Lowered about 2 inches in the front. Seat height drastically lowered.
Always ran it on doctored fuel.
I was reliably clocked at 125mph on it.
That was laying flat on the tank of course.
The older /5 series were ungainly piggies by comparison [I still own one].
Even worse were the 60s /2 series.
Like riding a tractor that only made more noise and shook harder when the throttle was opened.
You should try the youngest descendent of those bikes.
But why? The rear rack is, um, interesting also.
