The TZR series from Yamaha offers fast, uncompromising sportbikes for every taste. Beginning with the Yamaha TZR 50’s most childish model, the character of the Japanese begins to show. "Adult" appearance, rapid, aggressive features, good dynamic characteristics - all this makes the TZR series convenient for any pilot. In this article, we will consider models of cubic capacity of 50, 125 and 250 centimeters. Preventing the desire of inexperienced motorcyclists to jump immediately to the quarter-cubic version, I will say: each of these bikes has its own characteristics. In the adult world, the usefulness and coolness of a motorcycle is not measured by acceleration and maximum speed - everyone just has their own mission. And now we will consider it in more detail.
The Yamaha TZR 50 is essentially a scooter with a VERY adult appearance. From a distance of several meters, it can be completely confused with sport bikes of the top series. The vehicle has very impressive external parameters, which does not always coincide with its technical characteristics. One of the noteworthy reviews about this motorcycle told a funny story. Drove in, somehow one lucky owner of this "Carlson" at a gas station and immediately became the center of attention. Questions rained: “How much is eating?” What about rushing? Monster?". And the owner sat and smiled, knowing that this motorcycle in fourth gear rides a little over 50.
Let’s take a closer look at the performance of the Yamaha TZR 50. The engine starts immediately, without any “crashes”, but then it starts to “scare”. The fact is that it is extremely difficult to hear any signs of his work. Now is the time to squeeze the gas and break off. The engine in the "run-in" configuration begins to pull only after four and a half revolutions. In general, the first four programs will give you an unforgettable acceleration to 50 kilometers per hour. The maximum speed for this monster with a small heart is about 100 km \ h, and if you are lucky and the wind blows in your back, then it will reach 110.
Ergonomics The Yamaha TZR 50 adheres to a truly athletic balance of asceticism and convenience. The seat is stiff, the steering wheel is low, the steps are slightly pushed back. The only negative is that riding as a cyclist in this position is uncomfortable.
In general, the TZR 50 is an ideal option for those who want to learn how to ride without compromising their prestige. And the dynamics of the motorcycle will protect your inexperienced head from rash decisions.
Next on our list is the Yamaha TZR 125. This is a more serious car. It is designed for smart people who understand that they have already learned to ride, but have not yet achieved mastery. Think for yourself - it is better to drop this bike due to inexperience than an expensive liter "sport".
Considering this bike from a pragmatic side, we can characterize it as a universal assistant, in which it was possible to competently connect a gambling suspension with a low speed and an aggressive appearance with stunning ergonomics.
Despite the fact that the 125th is still equipped with a single-cylinder engine, thanks to its successful aerodynamics and water cooling, the power level is maintained very decent. Maximum speed reaches 150 km \ h.
In general, the 125th model is an ideal option for those who want to hone their skills cheaply and efficiently without endangering themselves.
But the Yamaha TZR 250 is already an unpredictable, awkward and evil unit that will not allow anyone to make a mistake. A purebred sports bike designed for racing. Its only negative is racing ergonomics, which does not provide for a pilot taller than 175 cm.
