To some people at Yamaha, the idea of slotting a race-replica engine - and a 250 two-stroke twin at that! – into a trail bike chassis to create a curious hybrid must have seemed foolhardy at best, yet somehow the project got the go ahead and the result was the TDR250. Despite being an unlikely sounding recipe for success, the TDR proved an immediate hit with the motorcycle buying public; today one of the fastest-appreciating modern collectibles, it is rightly regarded an all-time cult classic.
This very tidy example has had five owners from new and is presented in standard condition. Benefiting from an engine top-end overhaul in 2015, the TDR was last run in 2017 and is described by the private vendor as in generally good condition however, the oil pump needs replacing, the machine is said to run ok but by using premixed oil and fuel. Hagon fork springs, a Hagon shock absorber, and a luggage rack are the only notified deviations from factory specification. The machine will require recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent (in addition to a new oil pump) and is offered strictly as viewed. Offered with a V5C document, owners handbook and original toolkit.
