    HA HA HA! Boy, ain't you the everyday average comedian? I think the only reason why the 250R and the T3 are so much better, they had alot more time to play with there machines and make them good. Look, 250R started in 81, T3 started in 84, and the Tri-Z started in 85. Honda had a total of 5 years to refine there machine, Kawi had 2, and Yamaha only had 1.

    sorry but your wrong on this. Yamaha first introduced the TRI-Z to the pubic in sept of 83. they started working on it in late 82 early 83. they had plenty of time. they even introduced it prematurely then recalled it and then released it as a 85. you have to remember back in the 80's KX 250's and CR 250's ruled and the YZ 250 was way in the back. it was a dog. thats were the term Yamadog came from.

    Yep! your right SSJ3Goku, Honda was first then it took everybody else out there 3 to 5 years to finely figure out how Honda built such an awsome machine and then they went by the blue prints that the 3 wheeler Gods (Honda) made and tried to rip them off LMAO.... But guess what, Its all true.

    Oh ok see this I did not know, I thought that since the Z came out in 85, they hadn't been working on it for years and years since like 82. Thanks for correcting me.

    Yes...the Tri-Z was also originally equipped with a POWERVALVE cylinder off of a YZ, but obviously that didn't make it into the final version. The Yamaha book for the Z even mentions a Powervalve several times, even though there isn't one.
