Yamaha introduced the TDR250 the in 1988 as a street-legal middleweight dual-sport bike. Powered by the naturally-aspirated, crankcase reed-valve inducted, liquid-cooled 249cc parallel-twin two-stroke engine from the first generation TZR250, it featured the ‘YPVS’ Yamaha Power Valve System, CDI ignition and digital spark advance.
The TDR was designed to provide agile handling and quick acceleration both on and off the road, and power delivery was modified to suit its intended use. The special upswept expansion chambers, unique to the TDR, would aid ground clearance. Discontinued in 1993, the bike remains a solid favourite of the 2-stroke junkie.
The 1988 Yamaha TDR250 on offer here was recently liberated from long-term storage in Japan and imported to the US with about 8,000 miles on the odometer. It was treated to a full recommissioning and service, consisting of a new battery and an overhaul of the fuel system, including a carb clean, and check through the spark system. The bike starts exceptionally well, idles smoothly and rides perfectly. It is quick, smooth and an absolute blast to ride!
