Yamaha never officially exported the fantastic TDR250 to the US, which is why many American riders aren’t aware of it…or the tiny 50cc and 80cc versions!
2005 Aprilia Tuono R

1987 Honda Super Magna
Post Sale Update: This Super Magna sold for a lowered BIN of $2,750 on eBay in Denver, Colorado.

Restored – 1975 Yamaha DT400
Post Listing Update: This DT400 did not meet reserve with 33 bids up to $7,550 on eBay in Corona, California.

For more on the Yamaha DT400, check out …

CA Titled – 1991 Kawasaki KR-1S
Post Listing Update: This KR-1S did not get any action at the BIN of $17,000. In the late 80’s, Kawi had some success with their KR250 road racer, and released the Kawasaki KR-1 as a wonderful little two-stroke race rep. It was quite successful, triggering increased competition from the big 4, and it set off a 250cc 2-stroke war among …
