VIVA ITALIA!
Yamaha promotional video shown in Japan only.
Filmed in early 1984.
Pre-production bike filmed in Italy on a ride from Roma to Taranto which is a distance of 950KM.

The Japanese writing at 0.40secs says "Exported bike model RD500LC"
The Japanese writing at 1m.45secs says "Wear helmet correctly"
The Japanese writing at 9m.15secs says "This vehicle is closest to humans"

Hi Alex,
The number plate on the bike in the video was,
Is there anyway of checking the history of the bike from the reg number in Italy?.I would love to find out the frame number but have had no luck yet.

There were some RZ`s but i have not seen any RZV`s.I think because the RZV was a Japan only model the pre-production bikes stayed at the factory and were crushed when finished with.All the pre-production bikes should have been crushed but a only a few survive.Were all the pre-production bikes RD's? Were there any RZ's or RZV's?
