Description

8/8/23 Update: It has come to our attention that this is a R model, rather than an SP. We apologize for any confusion this issue may have caused.

Additional photos are available here for your perusal.

The Yamaha TZR250 was manufactured and sold from 1986 until 1995 in three main iterations exclusively for the Japanese market, never being officially sold in the United States. Born out of the RD250, the model evolved from the more modest parallel twin 250 two stroke of the 2MA and 3MA variants to the 90-degree v-twin 3XV version shown here.

In the early 90’s the Japanese manufacturers were in an arms race to create the most advanced 250cc repli-racers for license limited riders and track racers alike. These small quarter liter bikes were very different from the budget small cc bikes produced today to meet the needs of restricted license holders, they were brimming with the latest race bred technology and excellent build quality. While restricted to 45 HP to meet the Japanese rules of the time, de-restriction and tuning could release a lot more power. The 3XV could even be further modified by using TZ250R race bike engine parts (such as cylinders) to increase power, unlike the Honda NSR250 that shared almost nothing in common with the RS250R race model. Many TZR’s therefore found their way into club racing and local track days proving to be very capable, even by today’s standards.

This example is VIN: 3XV003888. The seller purchased this example four years ago from a private collector.

The odometer shows 9,737 kilometers (6,050 miles). The seller has put 400 miles on this example.

Maintenance:
Per the seller: “I have kept the bike tuned and maintained and I have a file with all the paperwork for it.

The seller states they installed a new Duracell battery, rebuilt the carburetors, and replaced the coil and voltage regulator.

Modifications:
Marlboro livery.

Aftermarket turn signals.

Heated grips.

Inside of the tank:

It is riding on Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires with date codes 3722 and 4722.

The sale includes one key.

Cosmetic Blemishes: please see the album up top for all known cosmetic blemishes. Here is a selection:

Currently located in Petaluma, California, this Yamaha is offered on a clean non-op California title. Per the DMV website, it will be $281 to renew the registration through to August of 2024.
