Vehicle Information
Yamaha RZ500 Motorcycle - Street (1985)
The 1985 Yamaha RZ500 is a high-performance two-stroke motorcycle produced from 1984 to 1986, inspired by Yamaha's YZR500 Grand Prix racing bike. It features a 499cc liquid-cooled, two-stroke, 50-degree V4 engine with twin crankshafts and reed valve induction. Equipped with Yamaha's Power Valve System (YPVS) and four 26mm Mikuni carburetors, the export model (also known as RD500LC) delivered 88 horsepower at 9500 rpm. This primary model, sold in markets like Canada, Australia, and Europe, typically used a steel perimeter frame. Throughout its short production run from 1984 to 1986, the export RZ500/RD500LC did not undergo significant mid-cycle generation or engine changes. The main distinction was with the Japanese domestic market (JDM) RZV500R variant, which featured a lighter, hand-welded aluminum frame and a detuned engine producing 64 horsepower to comply with local regulations.
