The mid seventies witnessed a complete overhaul of the Yamaha road bike range. Whilst the two-stroke RD series machines continued to sell well as did the smaller capacity "commuters" and trail bikes the 750cc and 500cc four-stroke twins introduced in the early years of the decade had not secured the market share required leaving the XS650 and XT500 as Yamaha's only major competitors in the 500cc and above classes. This together with a tightening of emissions legislation in the company's major markets that penalised two-strokes prompted the development and release of a new range of four-stroke multi's headed by the XS1100 four and XS750 triple, quickly joined by middleweight fours and lightweight four-stroke twins. The demands placed on the R and D department by the development of the new road range resulted in only detail developments for the TZ twin cylinder racers. Fortunately the "C" series TZ machines that had been introduced for the 1976 season required only minor revisions over the following three seasons to remain competitive.
The machine offered is a TZ250D dating from 1977. It is attractively presented in "good condition overall".
