Many tzr250s were actually converted to the race bike top ends as a less expensive way to enter the 250gp class at the club level.
don't confuse the tame street version with a race version. the race bikes were fun and known to power wheelie @ 100 mph when they came on the pipe. greg esser use to tell me about the good times
