Airhead-
Don't know but the engine was from the TZR and that was a road bike. So was the frame a dirt bike frame?
So should it be classed as a supermoto, as I though the supermoto thing were dirt bikes with road sized tyres and a bit bigger seat ;)

Wiki seems to say the TDR is a dual purpose bike. Not so sure that this is totally accurate, maybe Yamaha advertising? It was a road bike and, maybe, a super moto - before such things existed.
I always liked them, a quick look on eBay revealed prices from £2000 to £8000. Again, something nice to have in your garage - which will need extended!! 😁

Is it popcorn, even when science is claimed to be wrong?
Any way back to motorbike talk.
Wasn't the Yamaha 250 TDR the first factory supermoto, even tho it was a two stroke I thought the good bit was the bike was light, skinny (as in very thin to squeeze through small gaps) with skinny tyres, compared to modern stuff.
I disagree with @jung tho, I think the yam 250 4stroke and suzuki 350/400 is best as an supermoto engine size. Had a funduro for a bit and I never liked it as much as the dr350 with some other suzuki model road wheels..
EDIT a funduro is the mid 90's BMW f650. Rotax engine and built by aprilia who's version was the pegaso.
