Yamaha TZR 250

A superb starting bike after passing your test on a 125! Not to powerful in standard form and the 250cc class is now coming back into its own again after 20 years, although now with most TZRs being ten to twenty years old finding a good one maybe very time consuming but worth it! The Kawasaki 250r ninja maybe just the start with 33 bhp for recent new full restricted license holders and the little ninja so popular none in stock at dealerships so the demand very underestimated! Maybe Yamaha coming back next year with a YZR250, and Suzuki with a GSXR250 apparently?

Shame though there not two strokes anymore, except small scooters and the odd 125 sports bike.

A fair bike, my Yamaha TZR 250 has more grunt and a lot more HP, you can tell the difference. The bike has the older Yam clutch which bites funny, compared to other bikes (not smooth).

It's very light and it's great fun! If you were young when these bikes came on the market but didn't buy one, now is a great time to buy. Most are now used in racing so you can still get parts and mods for them. Mine is a little outdated now but I will change the faring and it can then look and perform like many of today's bikes with 37.6HP. What fun!
