The '76 C-model is more desirable as it came with the 1-year-only front disc brake. Not many of those around and you rarely see them for sale. Only about 2K made based on Yamaha info I have.

I didn't know much about the 200's when I got my 76, I got it because my wife wanted electric start lol.

Only later I saw in SoCal250's production data that the 76 200 is likely the lowest production of any US imported RD's at 2000 units based on serial numbers (not sure about 500's actually).

I've had this pretty original 76 for about 7 years., serial number 877. It has only needed routine maintenance like air filters and batteries.  I've never had the carbs off but heard they are challenging to get parts for.  Electric start always works if battery is good.

The only non stock things I've found on this bike is fork gators, black painted tail light, and Uni filters in the stock boxes.  Paint and chrome are good, not perfect but original.  The right side cover had to have a crack glued, in the years I've been looking I've never seen a 76 cover for sale.  1 year only French Blue, would match a 400 in the garage nicely.

At this point it has about 4300 miles, I got it at 3700 so I've got 'some' seat time on it.  I wrung it out pretty good at the Gap this year...
