A fearsomely fast 350 two-stroke twin when launched in 1969. Its 315cc piston-port engine gave an easy 39hp @ 7,500rpm, and weighed 149kg. It was the fastest 350cc machine available at that time, and was well able to out-drag the Honda CB450, and Triumph 500 twins with a standing quarter of less than 15 seconds!
The T350 Rebel though was not all good news; its handling was borderline evil, as many North American customers found out! The power was simply too much for the chassis, but it still made for an exiting ride, and became something of a legend. Not many survive (we wonder why!) those that did are highly coveted by collectors, especially in North America, the market for which it was designed.
