Yamaha RD350
From 1973 until 1975, Yamaha distributed a 2-stroke motorcycle called the Yamaha RD350. There was a high demand for this five-speed motorcycle. It came with a front drum brake and a piston port. Not only that, but it also had an air-cooled 2-stroke engine with a reed valve and a 6-speed transmission. Despite this, it was deemed a sports bike. Every single unit was also equipped with an automated oil system that it called “Autolube.” It helped prevent the combination of oil and gas. The RD400 came after the RD350.

Honda CG125
We will be frank here. The Honda CG125 is just not as exciting as the other bikes on the list. It is a safe option that was easy to drive, lasted long, and could reach a max speed of 65 mph. Honda made it with accessibility and quality in mind. It proved popular and was produced in Turkey, Brazil, and Japan.
