Nice to see that the TZR 250 is alive and kicking. The YPVS system really made things interesting especially when it deployed at a curve or in wet weather. The powervalve system used to catapult the bike from a sedate 70-80 kmph to a 140-160 kmph in what seemed like a couple of seconds. The accompanying noise and vibrations added up to one big kick-in-the-pants. Truly a DrJekyll-MrHyde type of bike. I cant even begin to imagine the terror of pushing a TZ 500 to its limit.

very well said . Why to go near a 500cc when we feel that adrenalin rush starting from 125cc of a TZ. There is a 125 & 250 back here which was used for races only back in 90's, waiting for the owner to give a ride to me or atleast an opportunity to see it screaming in action

If by here you mean Chennai I am guessing these bikes are at the R / R twin brothers shed.

yup .
I believe these are the only 2TZ's which are in running condition. They do have a tzr as well along with few more beauties.

Have got these goodies for the RD350, soon will be starting a build, inputs and ideas are welcome. Wanted to build a cafe racer, lets see how it goes.

[Roomy]

Now, that's an offer no one can refuse!!

All the best, cafe racer is the hot in thing right now!! Keep the pipes smoking away.

Cheers

This is getting really exciting. I wish you the best of luck.

I know you don't need it, but the link below has some neat inspiration.

http://www.thecoolist.com/crd-honda-cb750-cafe-racer/ and http://hdwallpaperfresh.com/wp-conte...cer-cb-100.jpg

I would say, keep it simple and elegant. Go for a design that is minimalistic, yet has that old world RD charm about it.

Had to delay my cafe racer project due to some reasons.
But to re-boost myself i have got this unmolested Suzuki RG250 Gamma MK1
Would like to know if someone over here had or have this, need some information.

[vishvesshpoddar]

please help recognize the bike year i guess its a t350 suzuki 1972 need to know where can i get spares and where to get it restored

[ksanjee]

Hi Guys -

I live in Bangalore, and got my RD 350 2 years back and have restored it to US spec to some extent. Final paint job being done by CMCC in Trivandrum.


I have always wanted a 2-stroke v-twin from the 80s/90s (to be my second bike)

Specifically any one of the following

-Honda NSR / RS 250
-Yamaha TZR 250
-Suzuki RGV 250
-Aprilia RS250

I know these are very hard if not impossible to find.

Any leads please point them to kps22 at cornell dot edu.

Prefer bikes without modifications.

If you have a V4 versions RZV or RGV or NSR you will be my new best friend!

Thanks
K

Wow this looks amazing for a retro sports bike.
What is the material used on the tank? Can you post a few closeups and more shots of the bike?

[Zed]

Nice work ! Did you have the engine and transmission overhauled as well ?
