It looks brand new because it is, NOS TZ250T, I have some very nice go faster parts for it. I think I will put all the stock stuff away, I have a Yamaha Factory works motor for it, NOS 17" wheel set, 4.5X17 rear and 3.5x17 front, the stockers are a 18X3.5 rear and a 17X3.0 front the slicks are original and unscuffed I want to keep them NOS I also have a front end / brakes. I can keep all of that NOS.
Wow, nice! Congrats! :cheers:
What he said ^^^ That is extremely awesome. And you share where you found such a thing?
Looks beautiful :thumbs:
You get that out of Japan?
I just saw a 5x17 TZ wheel sell last week for about $500
No It was auction in the good old USA, I am going to E-mail you
nice find. it looks like it's ready to go.
:eek: :jaw: ...wow.
Just amazing. I wouldn't have thought there would be such a thing still around!
It will arrive Friday afternoon, I get home late Friday night. My neighbor is going to receive it, I will get my hands on it Saturday AM!!!
I am going to pull all the original parts off the bike and properly store them. Fairing, seat, front end compete including brakes and master cylinder, wheels, motor, gauges, graves bracket, pegs, shock motor, carbs, ignition and pipes.
Probably easier to say I am going to use the frame and swingarm.
I have a used tank that needs a little correction, its perfect cosmetically someone moved the petcock I think for a 4 stroke conversion, move it back to the stock location. Carbon seat, new T fairing, U front end with dual disc, 17" Technomagnesio wheels, and new controls. I will use a Mychron 5 for instrumentation. I have a new Works sealed motor complete with all accessories and pipes. I will probably purchase a Penske shock. I hope to have it on the track by late spring. I will probably start with the 250 motor to get used to the bike, preparing another motor and pipes for the 320cc top end for an upgrade.
It arrived a day early, yesterday in good order. I am on the flight home, I will get my hands on it tomorrow AM.. Just want to sit on it and make 2stroke noises :whoop: :whoop: :whoop:

It was absolutely like Christmas....... Holy crap is it light...
Great score! :clap: That is a rare, one of a kind find. :thumbs: Enjoy! :olaf:
Shes a beauty for sure :cheers:
Looks like a piece of art.
If it's light enough, I'd hang it on a wall after I was done with it
Good luck getting back on the track this year.

After a lot of input from friends, I am reconsidering racing it. I have located a chassis, it does not have the swing arm, linkage or rear brake. If I can locate the balance of those parts I can build a matching bike. A buddy suggested the same and it is light enough to mount on the wall. He suggested the NOS bike on the wall with a matching racer parked under it.
