THE LAST MINT ORIGINAL 1990 YAMAHA YZ250 2 STROKE

[@sgtsclark1]

That era of 125s and 250s were beast level!

[@ss4qu3be5z]

If I ever had enough money to buy a dirt bike , I would buy one from Kaplan . You get the best of the best and you are the best of the best .

[@jonmccormick8683]

The bike that Damon Bradshaw built. -Probably the most minty OEM 1990 YZ250 in existence anywhere. Sometimes you only get one chance at something.

[@skyybluu3118]

What do you do with a bike like that except just worship it's pristine glory? That's an absolute gem of motocross history 1000%

[@MadAlhazred]

You get it on the pipe, put the front wheel in the air and throw some roost.

[@stephencrisson3595]

​@@MadAlhazredyep 😂 and then clean it write up then ride your other bikes and stare at it while drooling every time you see it and then I would probably only ride it once a year or destroy it buy riding it really hard but I would have a really hard time doing that on a bike that pristine

[@skyybluu3118]

Best color scheme ever

[@fast22fast]

Had an 89 and absolutely loved it. Won many races in the senior class in NCPA. My son is on a 450F and I struggle watching races with the 4-bangers.

[@ablebaker1275]

Love those two strokes

[@Maxxed_Out_Garage_Erwin_TN]

I am 44 yrs old and have been a dirtbike guy since 86, You have the best collection of bikes ever seen, Love this channel

[@jamespeck125]

My first MX bike was one of these, had the frame pink as well. Bought it used from John Deacon, in Plymouth, UK. Took it to the Falklands Islands. Was the first real mx bike in the islands. John was later killed in a bike crash while racing. He took part in the Dakar a few times as well. Great guy. Meanwhile I'm in my 50's and still riding over 30 years later.... Great channel guys, the best on ytube.

[@Rocksoup77]

I had the exact same bike. Bought it cheap, but in not-running and very rough shape. Stripped it and redid from ground up and it was an excellent bike. Thanks for putting these awesome videos out!

[@bmdbigfeet1031]

I was a hardcore Honda guy working at the local Yamaha dealer when those came out (88) and never forgot them . Rode Honda till 2001 and been on Yamahas ever since . 97 CR250 was the last , (sorry Honda but you broke me. )YZ could have been the worst 250 , (but they weren't ) but still secretly wanted one. One of the best looking dirt bikes of all time. Still looking for a restoration project.

[@Darrenjudy5]

Looks like the original K695 rear tire, I loved those tires.

[@dondagy9109]

I had one of these in 2007. Was not quite as mint, but was an old works bike. So, it was still pretty cool.

[@bluebludded]

Merry Christmas guys love ya work Queensland Australia 🎉

i forgot to say u did the very best job

It's Kap's world we're just living in it ☝️

[@davidsizemore9640]

Love this, Had the WR Version in Blue/White back then they were called YZ/WR for the Wideratio version. Later dropping the yz for just wr. was alot less confusing for consumers, Loved this era the best for the looks of the bikes and color schemes.

[@robvanduren761]

LOL i had a 1992 WR250 [YZ] and dam that thing was old school vicious. Hit like it had someone chasing it. Wheelies in top gear everywhere with no clutch help needed. Dam i miss being young and crazy

[@davidsizemore9640]

@@robvanduren761 I hear ya i didnt have a 92 but like i said i had a 90 & 94. like you said couldnt keep front wheel on the ground in the woods, later installed a flywheel weight on the 94 and somewhat tamed the beast. The good days! in my fiftys now, and many health problems, I do get out a couple times a year with vets and run the old trusty yamaha 1988 yz 490. Not near as much as would like. Enjoyed trip down memory lane.

[@techs1smh13]

Had the wr 500.

[@davidsizemore9640]

@@techs1smh13 Really wanted one, but never really got the chance to own one, have had couple 490s 87 & 95 honda Cr 500s and 90 kx 500. Would have loved to owned The wr500, never even ripped one.

[@techs1smh13]

@davidsizemore9640 bought from original owner in 2002 . Rode for 15 years in DEZ of SO CA. Was 504 cc 40mm keihn from kx, cyl and porting, squish, by millennium technology,.fmf pipe, 16 x 44 gearing, tera flex 140 5 psi. Never failed to put a smile. 104mph on GPS. Never let me down sold to a guy in Australia 6 years ago.

[@shaunzimmerman661]

the rick mellon yamaha yz. lol. winners take all!

[@Mattoldiron-hc9nd]

I thought the same thing as soon as this video popped up!

[@Demstaal]

Excellent bike it did everything right! Put a Bills pipe on it ! Raced Pro on the 89 and the 90 !

[@keithtarrier4558]

OMG!! Wow!! What a find!! . Plastics are mint!!! Hope it finds a great home if not at your place.

[@CoolcatAMA-Pro]

Just doesn't seem that long ago I bought not only the brand new 1990 YZ 250 but also the 90 YZ 125 one was around $3500 & other around $2500

[@robertblanchard6196]

Oh my goodness that would look good between the 81 dt80 and the 24 250x

[@jdub976]

That is amazing. Great find.

[@tommysiemienik7172]

I had same year YZ 125... Bike ripped ... Honestly even the latest and greatest YZ 250's including the YZ 250X ( Had a 2020 ) simply rip and ride like your mind thinks... They just work... !!!

[@Greyhawk-h9u]

Very nice YZ 250 and I remember it being a good year for this bike in regards to the performance

[@xipingpooh5783]

Love the style of the early 1990’s YZ’s!!! Hated the switch to white, like the European bikes were.

[@JNC1973]

It seems like almost every single cool bike from my youth you guys have. I'd be out riding this all day long. As a kid I was always torn between the Honda CR's and Yamaha YZ's. I remember asking my Uncle which was faster and I still remember he told me the Yamahas are more torquey and faster off the line but the Hondas have a higher top speed just take slightly longer to get there. I dunno if that's still true today but they both look sick to me.

[@rtyhhas]

hondas had the terrible Headshake

[@MudRun-sc2cm]

wicked cool KAP

[@manitolas]

the chain slider looks a lot like wr200s'😃

[@1sir-onworld]

[@robbiecollier8684]

I have an 88 89 and 90 and still haven't completed them love them but might just sell the 3 of them unfortunately

[@rogermelling8941]

I had one of these, not for long, too much for my novice ability Sold it and bought the 125..that was manageable

[@minibikemadman]

led performance just built a buncha 90 yz250 motors with ohlin's cylinders that make em a 360..pretty sick

[@billderych1291]

I had the 1990 yz250wra version, that thing was indestructible. Raced more that a few enduros best jetted 2t bike I’ve had, could easily ride a season without changing plug. Pulled like fck when it came on the pipe.

[@henrybuzzard4705]

Wish we could still get a bike for 4000 brand new

[@Jokestbh]

What a bike I owned the 1992 yz250 pretty much the same bike was a ripper till the machine shop lost my barrel and I decided to scrap it….. 🤦‍♂️

[@jeremywalters2205]

❤Holy shit! What a find!

What i call the Honeycomb metal bikes , the Euros , imagine the Austrian that sat this long , a pile of corrosion proven already not even 5 years, they would be a disintegrated example of there lack of quality metals and components . Be 5mm thick of silicone spray to try and hold euro metal and plastics, rubber, anywhere close to that Japanese condition of time.

[@williampolatsek702]

hay i got one chur chur .

[@bobg1219]

Not going to find a nicer original!
