Property of the late Warrick Blackwell
c. 1969 Yamaha 350cc 'TR2' (see text)
Frame no. TR2-90032 (see text)
Engine no. R3-900179
The mainstay of 250cc and 350cc class racing at national and international level for many years, the twin-cylinder two-stroke Yamaha well deserved the title of 'privateer's friend'; indeed, without it, grids in these classes would have been depleted in extremis during the 1970s. The 250cc TD2 arrived in 1969, replacing the TD1C, and immediately proved capable of winning Grands Prix, privateer Kent Andersson triumphing in the German round at Hockenheim that year, one of Yamaha's most significant classic victories. The giant leap forward from the TD1C had been achieved thanks to a comprehensive redesign that saw the engine porting and exhaust system updated; superior Mikuni carburettors adopted; and the chassis, suspension and brakes greatly improved. Looking like a scaled down Manx Norton Featherbed, the TD2's chassis was a development of that used for the RD56 works racer of 1963. Broadly similar as far as its frame and cycle parts were concerned, the 350cc TR2 differed mainly by virtue of its different porting and horizontally-split crankcases, a feature not introduced on the 250 until the arrival of the TD3 in 1972.

A TR2's six-digit frame and engine numbers should match, and both should be prefixed 'R3'. Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the provenance and correctness of this motorcycle and its component parts prior to bidding. The machine comes with a quantity of instruction manuals and is sold strictly as viewed. Its history and usage are not known.
