28 DIRT & TRAIL MAGAZINE FEBRUARY 2017
Classic TRIALS BIKE THE TY250 TWINSHOCK The other day on one of the rides we went along on, we noticed this rare old bike in immaculate condition playing around on the trails. We discovered that it belongs to friends of ours, so we got in touch with George and asked for the story behind it… Words: Roley Foley Pics: Zenon This particular motorcycle is a 1975 Yamaha TY250B model 493. George and his boys felt a little guilty about always having fun on the rides and his wife, Maria, only being a back-up driver. So they decided to look for an easy to ride bike that is low enough for her and also for the boys to learn how to ride a 2 wheeler. He then remembered his old TY250. It was left abandoned on his father’s plot about 22 years ago after getting damaged in a fall. After moving out, getting married and having kids, the bike was almost forgotten.That’s when the idea came to restore it. The family finished it just in time for Maria’s birthday in March 2015. Both the boys have learned to ride 2 wheelers on it as well as some of their cousins and friends. And the boss, Maria rides it too. It has matching frame and engine numbers It is painted in the similar colours and pattern as the original factory colours of the TY250B model 493. The motorcycle is almost 100% original excepting for some hard to find components.
