^^^ What Troy said. Essentially identical powerplants aside from the absence of powervalves in the Banshee unit.
The RZ was my dream bike when I was a kid. Back then I was broke and they were cheap and plentiful. Now I'm a little less broke, but they are rare and expensive in non trashed condition.
Dauer, Too funny. I saw that bike listed for sale locally a couple of weeks ago. Brought back memories from long ago. My brother owned (new) one of these TDR's in same black and yellow colour scheme. He was a bit of a 2 stroke freak like yourself. Roadraced TZR 250's then on to pure TZ's My brother had a lot of fun hooning around on that bumblebee back in the day. I hope you can do the same with your new purchase! All the best, Bugs
Thanks. Ha, That's funny. I'm quite glad the seller was willing to work with me to import and ship the bike over 3000 miles because I'm sure he would've had zero problems selling it local. That being said the bike arrived last Wednesday, I went o the DMV and got it road legal today. Now begins the fun. It's in decent shape but far from perfect, will definitely be a rolling restore and a love/hate relationship. But that's half the reason we mess with these old bikes....right? At least that's what I'm telling myself
