The very last "official" Yamaha TZ250 that was raced by the Petronas team, was surely more than a productionracer. It had all the "works" special items. My friend Jan Postmus, also a life-long Yamaha race fan (more about that later) sent me these pictures. (all pictures can be "clicked" for large format)

The Yamaha YZR500 machines from the period 1991-2002 are somewhat more fresh in your memories maybe, but they are fantastic to look at !

The next 10 years for the Yamaha YZR500 (1981-1990) were quite spectacular.

All pictures are in one (larger) size only, but maybe you can enlarge them yourself !!

The factory version of the mighty Yamaha TZ750 were first called Yamaha TZ750R and later Yamaha YZR750.
