DTR1990 Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 hi dose anyone know or own a tzr-r as i am thinking of buying one what sort of performance dose it have compared to a rs or mito what is it like for parts and fuel comsuption Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarkMalbot Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Well now you ask. i had a TZRR and it was the dogs! have a look on the www.ebikers.co.uk/forum as thats mostly about the TZR. I had one and after i fully de-restircted it I could get 110mph+ Looks better than the RS and Mito and oftern gets mistaken for a FZR750! :wink: Slightly better off the line than the Mito or that might have just been my riding. And they have 7 gears so have to change much more to keep up with the TZRR. Much more realiable than the RS although they are all very similar power and fuel consuption. I know of a few that are going and they are mint! If you want any info then e-mail me at... Wait for it... [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 ive been told id be better off with a tzr or rg because u have to replace the piston and rings in the rs nsr mito ever 3k miles, and most people dont do that so the engines are shagged as they are so highly tuned.

TarkMalbot Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 My friend had an Rg and Mine whooped it! :wink: The TZRR has a nice wide back tyre too and the RG tyre is only small. I got the link wrong before but I have edited it now! :wink: Get a TZRR. You wont regret it. And I know exactly how to derestrict them in terms of the powervalve and Electronics. Your on a bigger winner if you get one that is restricted as you know it hasn't been screemed all its life as the electronics wont allow it to rev all the way.

mozzy Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 dont hold me to this but someone told me the tzr-r only came in the form of an import so if thats true be very careful cause u will probably find a few hidden chaeges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Alex Posted May 13, 2004 Admin Share Posted May 13, 2004 TZR-R is import only, my local yamaha dealer actually told my friend who was thinking of buying one to go with the NSR out of all the fast 125s, as both the cagiva and tzrr are extremely hard to get parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarkMalbot Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I had a TZRR that was an English version. They are not all Inports. And yes there is slight differences between the UK models and the italian models. When I have more time (I'm on my dinner hour) I will post up some pics and Details. Although the TZRR is difficult to get hold of parts. NRS Looks Pants compared to the TZRR though. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarkMalbot Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 This is an English Model. The other type is an Italian Inport. looks like this: There are differences. The English model does look better IMO! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Alex Posted May 13, 2004 Admin Share Posted May 13, 2004 Ooh interesting... my yamaha dealer were wrong then I was specifically told it was never a uk bike, oh well. Be interesting to know what the differences are ? Just a thought was the TZRR uk model a limited edition or something :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarkMalbot Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I had the English one and It Deffo didn't say it was an Import! And the difference just from the pic are the Exhaust and the Swingarm. Also when the fairing is off the water tank is different and stuff. Also Imported bikes are not restricted as standard. When they are imported they close the powervalve. So you just open it up again! As for the english model. This has electronic restrictions that need snipping and playing with. If anyone needs to know I have all the details of how to do it. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarkMalbot Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Oh and the English bike above is the one for sale! :wink: Yamaha TZR 125R 1995 Lovely condition and has not been thrashed to pieces. It was fully restricted when purchased and as I have passed my test it is now at full power but can easily be reverted to restricted form. This is not a grey import but an UK bike therefore insurance is quite reasonable (group 4) and parts are readily available. Recent new C&S, rear tyre, fork oil seals, wheel bearings, with other consumables replaced within the last year plus many other trick bits. I have only run this on fully synthetic 2 stroke oil since the full engine rebuild using Stan Stephens, the 2 stroke specialist, and fully run in properly! Wheels have been shot blasted, powder coated and stoved. Paintwork inspired by Dream Machine and truly stunning, a real head turner. £1950ono 07743416590 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
