Description
Lot #764.1 - The Yamaha MX250 was produced from 1973-75. This year's MX250 is the machine made for winners to ride. It was designed after Yamahas that have captured national and international MX championships. One of the most important design features that experts claim keeps the Yamaha in the winner's circle is the monocross suspension. It's much more efficient than the conventional suspension systems, with the top end of the shock absorbing mechanism connected forward under the tank area, yielding a much longer stroke capability. This gives the rear wheel more traction over rough terrain for a smoother, more controlled ride. The MX250 also has a center-mount exhaust and expansion chamber, CDI ignition, lightweight aluminum-alloy rims and hubs. Yamahas exclusive Torque Induction intake system gives more pulling power in the low and medium ranges. This classic dirt bike has been completely restored to show-quality condition and it has never had gas put in it since the restoration. Previously, it was owned by well-known Greg Primm and displayed in the Primm MX Museum located in Las Vegas, NV. The frame numbers and engine numbers match. It's powered by a 246cc single-cylinder engine with 5-speed manual transmission. This is a great piece of MX history. From the MS Classic Cars Collection.
