What was the best looking fighter and bomber of WW2?

Yes it was. But it was easily unrestricted. And it was built to higher standards than the old fizzy engine.
In fact yamaha built an 80cc engine that shared it's bottom end with the 50cc version.
There was a washer in the exaust and a bit of jetting and air filter mods could easily see 10 hp.
This led to to the lc 80. I had one back in the day. And then the 125. And then the 350. Never had the 500.
I've still got my 84 gpz 900 though. ...

Best looking fighter - Udoubtably the Spitfire though the US P51 Mustang comes a close second (it has, afterall the same engine).
Best looking bomber - Although I love the Lancaster, the Boeing B29 Superfortress is beautiful.
I love the Mosquito fighter bomber too for that category.

I remember all those, the RD 350LC was a thing of beauty
It certainly was. An iconic bike.
With respect showing me a picture of a cockpit doesn't really explain anything.
That red guarded button on the yoke there with the N on it should give you a clue.
I want to press that button though.
What does N stand for?

Neutral I think. Stops the forward drive before selecting reverse
