Factory Options: Full fairing kit. EXTERIOR Following on from the traditions of Yamaha’s famous RD models but taking on groundbreaking technology, the TZR125 was yet another world-beating supersports lightweight machine. This exceptional specimen is finished in the red and white colour scheme that the bike and the optional full fairing was made with. Many components of this example are unrestored with the exception of the stunning paintwork to the tank and fairings that was entrusted to renowned Pauls Custom Paintwork of West Kingsdown who specialises in ‘all paint no stickers’ finishing. The white is done in Pearl finish so, at a glance, it appears standard but in sunlight it looks amazing with a pearl fleck. Originality is seen extensively with the original olive drab green finish to fittings as well as factory switchgear, hand grips and foot peg rubbers. The windscreen shows some faint stress crazing to the top section. Light patina to the unrestored components is fully acceptable and the bike showcases the perfect mix of pleasing originality and flawless paintwork. The seat is professionally retrimmed in the correct blue covering, underneath which is the original Yamaha toolkit. This is a very special bike. ENGINE & TRANSMISSION Powered by a liquid cooled 2 stroke motor, this TZR125 is basically half of Yamaha’s sensational TZR250 which is itself based directly on the World Championship-winning TZ road racers. Featuring the Mikuni VM26SS carburettor as well as technological advancements at the time such Yamaha Power Valve System, (YPVS) and Yamaha Energy Induction System, (YEIS). This being a French European model, it benefits from being unrestricted with full use of the fully operational YPV System. The engine number is stamped to the left side of the engine casing and matches that of the clearly visible frame stock stamp and VIN plate to confirm this as a matching numbers machine. The original Yamaha 2RL-14711 exhaust remains fitted. The 6-speed transmission is precise and the factory fitted strengthened clutch and wider final chain drive enables it to cope with the extra power. WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES The cast alloy triple-spoke wheels retain the original unrestored red finish with prominent cast stampings and are shod in premium Michelin PilotStreet 80/90-16 front and 100/90-18 rear tyres. The TZR features a hydraulic disc front brake with slotted rotor to aid cooling and a correct gold finish opposed-piston caliper. The rear brake incorporates a weatherproof drum integral with the wheel. A great combination to generate maximum braking force.
