The TZR250 2MA was a popular bike here but we never got the full monty proddie racer 3MA version. The odd one has been imported, and this one we restored is one of the best in Australia...
Darren bought this TZR250 3MA as a blown up sight unseen import late 2019. The 1989 model is the most sought-after TZR and the most YZR250-like of any TZR. With a reverse-cylinder engine and trick electrics, the 3MA was every boy and girl racer’s dream.
