Yamaha YZM250 1993 prototype MX bike
Date Posted:3 July 2024
What's so special about this one? Well, for 1993, Yamaha tested the YZM250 (code named 0WE4) with a fibreglass leaf spring for the rear suspension, with a rotary damper. Moving away from the normal location for a rear shock allowed Yamaha to trial a dead-straight intake passage.
