Sadly soon all combustion carsand bikes including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!!! (BABBVEN LAWS AND TEBBVEN ORDERS)!!!!

The TZ250 was on sale to the public in the 1970s and 80s. It was intended only for racing, it was not suitable or legal to use on the road. It cost about one and a half times the price of the RD250 road bike, with which it shared some parts although it was very different in some ways (water cooling long before the RD250 got this, a dry clutch, and engine lubrication by adding oil to the fuel rather than by an injection system). There used to be 250 races in which all or most of the bikes were TZ250s, since there was no other 250 available to the public that could equal its performance. The engine gave in the region of 60bhp.
