I came across this parallel Twin looking on line.Pretty cool not a 1000 cc but nice for a 250.

Two-stroke Japanese import, it weighs just 284 pounds, and has 50 horsepower. It is a parallel twin cylinder and comes stock with the same size front rotor as an FZR1000 with a 4 piston caliper. More Yamaha TZR250 info..

I think I like the look on the one on the left..Somewhere I've seen that look before...OH ya,at my divorce hearing in 1992.That was the same look when the judge awarded my X everything..AH the good old days.

I'm getting older and just got a new script for new glasses .

How come I can't see naked girls.

Should I go back to the guy that made my new glasses ?

Dave what are you talking about ???

PS Dave don't ever go to Europe these young lads see it every nice day the sun is out as they are not as inhibited as the USA.

You need to get out more.. More than half on this forum are from across the pond just ask them. Boobies everywhere ! at least the four summers I have spent there that's all I saw.

Please find enclosed photo of my other vertical twin (270 deg crank). Its a TRX 850, and its the one coveted by my eldest grandson as he thinks its the next step up from the scooter that he has just trashed. The engine was the one developed from the XTZ Paris-Dakar beast with dry-sump lubrication and unusual crank timing. (not so unusual now as Triumph have adopted it ) The bike itself was a sales flop here in Europe (which was all the more reason for me to buy it.)

PS as I have not yet discovered how to attach a photo without losing the whole bloody plot please look in the gallery for TRX and two unusual versions of the MZ 1000.

George,nice I like the whole look.The frame almost looks like something Ducati would/does make trellis.

I have to look not sure if they ever came to the US.Maybe for a year or two.What year is yours and which is smother the MZ or TRX ? vibes wise..

I looked in members pictures and then went online and found it.What color is yours I guessed red as I think your MZ is Blue.Was I right ??? :-D

I didn't realize it was a parallel twin Thanks...John
