Much of Yamaha's attention was occupied by its road racing efforts and, whilst producing a number of off-road machines, they were playing catch-up with Suzuki who had secured their first World Motocross Championship in 1970. It didn't take them long, and in 1973 Yamaha managed it when Hakan Andersson took the 250cc title. However, this was a temporary blip, and Suzuki were soon back in winning ways and it took Yamaha another four years to take their second title.
This 1974 MX250A is an older restoration, and will require some re-commissioning or further restoration prior to use. It has twin-shock rear suspension, steel petrol tank, lightweight plastic mudguards and side panels, with drum brakes front and rear. There is no documentation, and whilst the engine turns over, its mechanical condition is unknown and is sold strictly as viewed.
