The Greatest Machine of all.
Yamaha R5-C 350cc Street.
Acclaimed, "the best middle-weight
touring bike in the world."
For '70. For '71. And now, for '72,
its even better.
The new Yamaha R5-C is for street riders who won't settle for anything short of the best. From the
ground up, this is one 350cc twin without even a hint of wasted space or weight. A bike that thrives on
performance and total control.
From minimum to maximum rpm, the engine is incredibly smooth, with no vibration. You get
2-stroke, 5-port power for extra-efficient fuel intake, better exhaust gas scavenging, lower fuel costs —
and most important —"big bore" power and response. You get Autolube which mixes gas and oil
automatically. Enduro styled front forks and 5-step adjustable rear shocks for greater touring comfort.
A positive 5-speed gearbox for "super-smooth" shifts up through the gears and down. Plus, all the
safety and dependability Yamaha is famous for. But, don't just take our word for it, read what the
experts have to say.
Cycle Magazine said: " if you think that a motorcycle should combine the best from the
maintenance, performance, detailing, and transportation points of view, then your overall pick will be
our overall pick: Yamaha's R5...
the best production street 350 in
the world "
Winner of the Cycle Guide
Award for Engineering Excellence:
"The R5B aced out all other
motorcycles (over 400 of them) and
won the contest going away.. like
most Yamahas, reliability proved
to be excellent. In testing the R5,
we discovered that regardless of
how long we rode it or how hard
we pushed it, the machine would
be completely unruffled... Anyone
who has ever had the opportunity
to ride this bike always comes
back with a smile on their face."
It's a better machine.
We'll challenge anyone who knows
their way around a bike to find
another '72 production 350cc street
that's more machine for the
money. And, that's the kind of
value you'll get with all the great
machines for '72. See the new
R5-C at your Yamaha dealer. The
Greatest Machine of all.
YAMAHA
The great machines for '72.
