The recent celebration of thirty years of 250cc TD and TZ production racers is unparalleled In the sport, and clearly demonstrates an extraordinary commitment to racing, rather than just building and selling the bikes commercially. It was Yamaha who produced the first over-the-counter racing superbike. the TZ750, which became an icon in the US during the 1970s: it was Yamaha again who kept the 500cc GP racing class alive by brokering the production of the Harris and ROC racers. This commitment has reaped its own reward: over 350 GP victories to date. Yamaha decided to branch out from manufacturing musical instruments and enter the motorcycle industry at just the right tune.

He looks at the early factory RD and RA racers, the giant-Killing TDs and TRs and the mythical TZ750 superbike. before rounding off the story with an analysis of the TZ250, the mainstay of production racing over the last twenty years, and the OW and YZR factory racers in the Blue Riband 500cc GP class.
