Yamahatzr250

Ooh, I love a two-stroke, but the days of them being cheap performance are long gone. Prices charged for ‘modern classic’ 250s are ridiculous. £10k for an NSR? Bonkers. Sidestep this lunacy with something less than perfect – everyone’s mad on originality (‘What? Not the OE indicator lens?’) which means bikes with period mods can still be snapped up for attractive cash. This TZR is an early 1986 bike from Japan (a 1KT for code nerds). It’s missing a few small parts, but it runs, has a fuel tank that’s spotless inside, and a cool ‘Naughty Boy’ sticker on the frame spar.
