About the Yamaha TD2
The Yamaha TD2 is an early-1960s factory/customer racer built around an air-cooled 247cc two-stroke twin. It is not a road bike: this is a light circuit machine with drum brakes, low clip-ons and a narrow, committed riding position. The TD2 belongs to the racers that established Yamaha in the 250cc class.
For a buyer, originality matters more than simple running condition. Many survivors have been rebuilt with replica parts or modified for demonstrations. Check frame and engine numbers, crankcases, cylinders, expansion chambers and restoration documentation. It takes experience to ride its narrow powerband, premix system and period brakes; for a collection, parade use or classic racing, that is exactly the appeal.

What to check before buying
- Check frame and engine numbers against the available history; TD2s are often assembled from parts.
- Inspect the crankshaft, bearings and cylinder walls for damage from storage or a lean mixture.
- Check magnesium and aluminium parts for corrosion, hairline cracks and old weld repairs.
- Inspect drum brakes, spoked wheels and tyres; period-correct parts are expensive and not always readily available.
