Found this somewhat tired looking, but very well built 1995 YZ250 for sale on the side of the road down in Riverside.
Looks like back in 1995 someone threw the full YZR catalog at it, along with the blue painted frame (stock purple still visible under the blue).
It has the Long Rod motor, and am wondering if anyone knows about the YZR porting? Comes with Applied clamp and Pro taper, Long Rod Kid, Ti Subframe and various other bits....pipe is FMF but it is newer.
Found in the IE in California, was said to be an ex Mike Metzger bike, but who knows. Thats what the seller told me, but he wasnt sure and he was like the 5th owner of it. If it was a Metzger bike, I was under the impression he rode for NCY and didnt have the OEM YZR graphics kit, but I could also be wrong.
Motor and frame numbers match, so they are original. Had a Yamaha dealer friend run the VIN and it came back as "not a valid VIN", which is strange, even the older bikes can pull first owner info in the Yamaha system.
If anyone knows anything or has any further info on this bike, let me know. It was very well built for the time, and deserves to be restored!
