What is this bike???

[FROSTY]

Every day i see a bike ride past and I still havent figured out what it is.
Its stickered yamaha --RZR
Its a naked bike with single headlight
Its definitely a 2 stroke --its got 2 pipes stacked on top of one another on one side out the back.
power valve yamaha motor. Traditional trellis frame ruled out a tzr
fzr600 type 4 pot calipers and floating disks up front

Any ideas guys n gals ??

Yamaha made a naked version of the RZ250 back in the late 80s, can't remember the model ID but they were single h/light & the ones i've seen were predominantly blue ( blue tank & side panels ) with black engine & frame.
they came out just before the TDR version (dual purpose thingy)

ooohhhhhhhhh. I LiKE that. Don't suppose they ever made a bigger version ? 350cc ? 500cc ? (750 - ahh dreams )

Why are almost all the two smokers so SMALL. What's wrong with a 1200cc two stroke ?

[kro]

Yes, they made a 350 in that same shape, but the original RD 2 strokes had their own engine, that bike has an RZ engine in it, and those stingers are pretty sexy. That was my first bike, so many fond memories. I think the bikes we iidentify as RD's also came out wearing RZ stickers, and vice versa. In the early 90's we got some blue/yellow RD's, which were new, so its all over the show really, but show that picture to 99% of bikers, and they'll call it an RD250LC

Next up from that in 2 smoke in Yamaha is the RZ500 (steel frame) or RZV500 (ally frame), and that was a bike of wet dreams too, available for drooling here http://www.motorcycle.com/mo/mctext/rzstory.html

Frosty, is this the bike? http://www.rd350lc.net/1AR1-84side.jpg

[FROSTY]

nope guys diddnt look anything like that
Its an early 90's bike- bodywork is more cbr400 aero ish and the stingers look like the RGV250 style -the one with 2 pipes out one side. it definitely uses the tzt250 power valve motor.

Its nothing at all like a RZ250/350 to look at --even the earlier handlebar mounted headlight version -
Ida sworn it was a one off special but it looks to factory stock with all the parts

[White trash]

I saw a cool bike that sounded similar in Wellington about ten years ago. It was only a 200cc cingle though. Had a sexy trellis frame, upside downs, real racy, naked styling.

Can't for the life of me remember what the hell it was.

[FROSTY]

WT--it was a wolf 200 --suzuki I think

TZR-RZR 250 Yamaha was made in Indonesia and there appears to be a club there who still races them but no photo's sorry.

What an awesome bike! I'll save that picture somewhere for when I do a RD or RZ project.:confused:

[T.W.R]

heres a picture of the Yamaha RZ250R from MCN test in 87'

[crashe]

Frosty, there is only one thing for you to do ...

You have to pull the dude over on the motorway and ask him what the bike is.. Take a pic of it and post it up here so that we can all see.

Or follow him until he stops and take a pic of it and ask him what the hell is that bike.

isn't there a moto morini 2stroke that used yamaha motor...with trelis frame...and I think its even a 350???

[gav]

OK, heres a Yamaha RZR, it may have an aftermarket exhaust on it to have twin pipes on one side.
Oh, and WT, the bike you may have seen could have been a Yamaha SDR200 as pictured.

[FROSTY]

[Sniper]

Hmmm, never heard it but it looks damn nice. Maybe I'll buy one, someday

[Ixion]

Shit that's nice. Sort of two stroke version of Ratty. I'd buy it except that Mrs Ixion would kill me.

[marty]

looks like the 2 stroke lane-splitter from hell!

[ducatilover]

Why are almost all the two smokers so SMALL. What's wrong with a 1200cc two stroke ?hehehehehehe:woohoo: :Punk: :headbang: that would be one motherfucker grunt machine!

[flash]

ha!, ive actully seen that bike, its down at motogb. i was looking at it thinking that it was in better order than my old rgv250, but it wasnt mint. a couple of dings, scraps and so on. never knew it was being sold (it was at the back, must just be the owners or something)
ild love it if i didnt have another bike on its way up for me.
