This does look like a rare find, being an early TZR250 and in blue with less than 10k miles, oh my!!!! I’m not sure about the seller labeling it a 250R. Did Yamaha have 250R models in 1987? I’m also not sure if the SHOWA fork is original or a mod?
Either way, here we have a vintage 2 stroke – a piece of history – that has been kept in great condition. It does seem appealing for a collector. The value will depend on the details and how much a collector wants this.
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
Ouch, no title!
Yeah, I think some states are okay with no title, but I believe you would still need a registration if you were trying to transfer (or acquire) a title. I purchased a ’74 H1 off a seller in California who only had a bill of sale, said it would be very simple to get a title with just a bill of sale. Said he did it many times….sure, lol. NOT! I eventually found out he bought it from someone in Maine, who bought it from another person in Maine and no one bothered to register it. I was able to track down one of the sellers in Maine, but since no one had a registration and the DOL wanted one, I had to go through a long process of getting a title. If you are going to buy a bike with no title, make sure they have an accepted form of proof of ownership for the state the bike is registered in. Preferably the current registration. In Washington state, you must have the vehicle inspected by the state patrol, where they will then issue you a registration, but it will take three years before you will get a title. I believe this is a waiting period in case it’s a stolen vehicle and if no one reports it as stolen, then you get a clean title. This was a live and learn experience.
@Dan – thanks for sharing your experience. It does sound more painful than one would expect, so it’s good to know. That is painful enough to be part of the negotiation.
