Friend of mine had the original TZR250(2MA?) and raced it all over New Zealand. When this model (3MA?)came out he bought it and said it was a "puss bucket" and was really hard to ride. I still think it's beautiful though. He paid 10k NZ for it new and crashed it many times.He still races an Aprilia RSV1000 at 50 years old ,while I wobble about on my 1980 Suzuki X7-250. Rock on!
I bought one of these about 6 years ago, (age 65) was intending to do a track day, but never got round to it, 72 next year, think I could still hack it in slow group, hope | get chance before its too late.
I had one of them years ago. It was not complete. It was given to me after a guy bought it in a crate at an auction and it sat for years in a barn in said crate. By the time I got it most of the plastic body parts were gone and someone cut the frame right at the seat to make it fit the crate. I ended up selling it to a guy half way across the country and shipped it to him. Here in the USA the TZR 250 is a gray bike and was never sold here. The TZ 250 was. My first motorcycle was a 1970 DS6B 250 two stroke Yamaha. Your TZR rocks how fun. My 2003 Ducati 800 was stolen a while back so I am bikeless right now. I need another ZX-11 Ninja
Cracking video lots of fun times,,I had a MK3 Suzuki gamma,, and a tzr but not a reverse cylinder like your one,, I've a K6GSXR 1000 but wee bikes on the right roads more fun,,, 😊☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland really enjoyed watching this 👍👍👍👍👍
is it crazy that these are like $12k in poor condition now? im in the states and i know these were never imported here, so i've no idea if that's a good price?
Any vintage bike over 25 years old can now be imported. It takes patience and money to make them right. I have a 1991 TZR 3xv. Tore it down to bare nuts and bolts and a full re-build. My 32 year old bike handles better than anything I've ever ridden.
Imagine owning a 3MA back in the early 90's, aged 17, and living in the Isle of Man. That was how lucky I was.
2stroke exhaust sound is the best .
one of the coolest bikes and you painted it my favorite color, man I need to get a bike. 👍
Whenever I think about my high school days I search 3ma videos…. So glad there are people like you sir.. what an awesome video!

Seeing where the new XSR900 design came from yet?
😍🥰
So this is nothing like a YZ250 motor I suppose? I know the gearing is obviously much different.
Hello. What exhausts do you use?
Please drop the music and let us hear the bike!
is it crazy that these are like $12k in poor condition now? im in the states and i know these were never imported here, so i've no idea if that's a good price?
What matter is the engine and its wiring.
The rest can be easily replaced.
