1974 Yamaha TY250a "The Cat"

[Rizingson]

After finishing up the two Yamaha Scrambler refurbishments (which took me 2 months each), I decided to start getting some bikes ready for riding this spring and summer. A warmer than usual winter by far has gotten me anxious to forgo projects for a bit now and start the process of summerizing bikes!

Here's some pictures taken in my field of the first ride this spring on "The Cat" (Yamaha's nickname for the first year model). Had to get a little "standing on the pegs" practice in. The TY250A was the first Japanese Trials bike exported to America in 1974, beating the other big 3 to get into the market.

My first motorcycle was an orange TY175B, and my dad later had a TY250; it was yellow. Maybe when I can't get my leg up and over the KTM, I'll look for another TY. No dabbing!

My first bike at 16 was a Yamaha TY50 and i loved that thing. Still enjoying watching vintage trials bikes like this in action whenever I get the chance. Looks like a first class restoration.

I love a vintage trials bike.
 Here is my 1973 Honda TL125. Sorry, 4 stroke I know.

Always wanted a TY when I rode vintage AHRMA trials.
Thanks for sharing your TY.
