1986 Yamaha TZR250 1KT-033703 22,165 km (13,750 mi)

The original TZR250—internal code 1KT—introduced Yamaha’s quarter-liter Grand Prix replica formula to the road, pairing a lightweight chassis with a responsive parallel-twin 2-stroke and aggressive race-inspired styling.

This early-production example (2SM variant) shows 22,165 km and presents in notably clean, well-preserved condition. The bike retains its original bodywork and benefits from modest mileage—an increasingly rare combination for these first-generation TZRs.

Compared to later 3XV models, the 1KT offers a more analog, lightweight riding experience with strong midrange character and classic mid-1980s design. As the earliest TZR generation, it is gaining recognition among collectors seeking the origins of Yamaha’s GP-replica lineage.
