TZ250 tribute

It's in French, but seems to be based on an R1-Z which had the TZR250 2ma/1kt engine. I think it's nicely done, the spoked wheels look great on it.

I'd rather a TZ350G, but I reckon that one is easier to make road legal.

That's very true, and that bike is lovely. If you want a full fairing and the whole head down arse up riding position.

That's sweet, btw all of the RD frames are quite close to TZ frames.

How was that bike not going to appeal to me, that's exactly what I wanted in 1985, when I had an LC with Microns and drops.

Hard but fair. Personally I'd just change it. There is only one disc anyway.

I think I've got 6 Yamaha discs that size in the garage, they were fitted on loads of 90s Yamahas

And not even at both ends. Real faux pas to the end product. Does nothing for me anyway, prefer something like a Tmax to that! :shock: :D
