About this model
About the Yamaha TDR 250
The Yamaha TDR 250 is an unusual lightweight all-road using the liquid-cooled 249cc two-stroke parallel twin from Yamaha's sporty 250 family. It combines a tall, narrow stance with 17-inch wheels and an engine far more lively than that of a normal trail bike. The TDR was produced briefly in the late 1980s and has become rare, with a committed enthusiast following.
The TDR 250 suits an experienced lightweight two-stroke enthusiast rather than someone seeking effortless daily transport. Performance, sound and low weight make it special on twisty roads, but fuel use, oil consumption and parts availability need consideration. When buying, focus on cylinder condition, the power-valve system and exhausts, and choose only a bike with a credible rebuild and service history.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Ask about crank, piston and cylinder rebuilds; check cold starting, compression and unusual mechanical noise.
- Check the Yamaha Power Valve System operates freely and ask whether cables, servo and valves have been serviced.
- Inspect oil injection, hoses and carburettors for leaks or poor set-up; a fault can cause serious engine damage.
- Check expansion chambers for rust, dents and non-original modifications that affect carburation.
- Inspect frame, fork, wheels and brakes for damage or play; many TDRs have been ridden hard.
