My 75cc 2000 Derbi GPR -
Derbi 1.jpg
Came with an Arrow exhaust and a Mikuni Flatslide carb that required a bunch of tuning to make it ridable.
I've changed the graphics and powder coated the wheels and a few other parts. The plan is to spray the entire cycle in silver with a matte clear, and have the Derbi logo in a gloss blue to match the wheels.
:clap: Welcome to the site
Thanks!
I just purchased a TZR250R to go with my Derbi GPR.
I grew up on 2-strokes (RD400 and RZ350) and needed to get back on one (40 years later).
The TZR is ok, but needs some refreshing. Seems to run decent, but needs a good going over and tires.
I have been pouring over SoCal250's TZR refresh thread for info and tips.
I really enjoy everything 2-stroke!
That's pretty sweet! Is that the factory 75cc engine? Rare bird if so.
thats awesome. :clap:
:bacon: cool bike, and a great start on an enviable collection :thumbs:
Very Nice :like:

Yes, it's a factory 75cc engine (EBE-075), which is a stroked 50.
They brought a couple hundred into the US as 75s sometime around 2000.
Thanks for the compliments guys!

I know Wisconsin is a big place, but do you know Steve Myers by chance? he's a small bike guy up there as well, derbis, ar 80s, etc.

The name doesn't sound familiar.
I'm in the Madison area.
Do you know where he is loacted?
I regularly attend the Slimey Crud cycle gathering in Pine Bluff, WI, and he may as well. Typically there are somewhere in the range of 500 to 700 cycles that show up. Not many Derbis. though I have seen one other roll by, but I've never seen it parked. Unfortunately, not many 2-strokes in the mix.
I've had the Derbi there a few times, and plan to have the TZR250 there for the fall gathering (Sunday, Oct 5, 2025).

There's one of these for sale on FB marketplace in Kentucky that looks pretty good, but it needs bodywork and an air filter. What's the spares situation like?

Not great.
I've been waiting months for a gasket kit, from Treats, to come in.
Should be cheap.
I bought mine in ok shape about 10 years ago for $1200 locally and Titled.

Thanks! So if I decide to go for this one and it's got bits missing then it will probably stay that way unless I go to Italy and find a dealer.
steve is in East troy. (wherever that is). I know him from the annual 2 stroke meet at deals gap.. for like 20+ years.

I've been to the EBR facility in East Troy, but I don't know anyone from that area.
I eventually want to get to the meet-up at Deals Gap, but for now The Crud is it for me. I've seen videos by Cycle Drag - and it looks like a whole lot of fun!
Do you know someone from WI by the name of Joe Puccio? He's a 2-stroke guy, and I believe he regularly attends the Deals Gap meet. He's a friend of a friend, but I don't personally know him.
I really like everything about small 2-stroke street bikes!
maybe. I have been going to it for 26 years. if he's been there, I probably met him at some point
Cool little bike.
How's the 3XV coming along?

OK, I'm starting to go through it, but I'm also finding some issues...
Might need more work than I initially thought.
Yes, sadly that is basically the situation with all JDM bikes that are brought in. Megazip is one place you can possibly still get parts...Covid wiped out the backstock of many vintage JDM bikes sadly.

Thanks for the tip about Megazip. They seem to have most of what I need so far.
I'm thinking the TZR I bought was kind of a parts bike. I knew the fairings were wrong, but it started and ran decent. It had no air filter elements, and I'm now thinking the impeller seal is bad, which would mean a complete takedown. There are other things that don't add up as well, and the odometer reading can't be correct.
I have some testing to do on the impeller seal, but I'd be surprised if that wasn't the issue.
I had water pump seal go bad on mine. Generally from rust on the shaft, then it tears up the seal, then water gets in the trans. Yea, the trans has to come out...

Most likely in my future as well.
Not sure how I will go about it, as it could be a little over my head to get that far into it.

Wow, East Troy is my hometown! It's very small. I'd say about 90 minutes from Madison.
