After looking for information about Yamaha TZM150, Honda NSR150RR and Honda NSR150SP, I have found out another great bikes that I have never seen before, Yamaha TZR250SP.
In 1992, Yamaha has produced 500 of this bike just to make it legal for it to race in the Japanese Super Sport racing series. This makes this bike extremely rare. The birth of this bike is to rival the competition from Honda NSR250R and Suzuki RGV250 Gamma. So, this bike actually is born to win.
At a glance, the bike looks very familiar to TZM150, but this one comes with 250cc 2-stroke engine that produces 46hp. The wheels also the 3-spoke that comes with the TZM150.
The decade of 90’s has produced many great bikes with great power and great design. It is so much beautiful that when I saw it for the first time, I think it is still in production today.
