Having come to dominate the spheres of road racing and moto-cross, the major Japanese motorcycle factories turned their attention to the trials world in the early 1970s, recruiting top British riders to assist with machine development, just as the Spanish manufacturers had before them. In Yamaha's case this meant trials superstar Mick Andrews, late of Ossa, who began work on the TY250 in 1973. A conventional, air-cooled, single-cylinder two-stroke equipped with Yamaha's innovative reed-valve induction, the TY250 proved good enough for Andrews to win the Scottish Six Days Trial in 1974, the first victory by a Japanese motorcycle in that arduous event. He won the SSDT again on the TY250 in 1975, and the model and its derivatives went onto establish a formidable reputation in observed trials. Mono-shock rear suspension and a six-speed gearbox were among the innovations tried on the works bikes, both of which later found their way onto production models. There are no documents with this TY250, which is believed to be an older restoration.
