RIDE HI's column revisits the Yamaha FZR250R (1989-1995). Keeping its race-replica form to the end, it kept evolving as a genuine supersport, a highlight of the 250cc replica era.
The sound of an FZR250R four wound right out is something you simply cannot get from a modern bike. This level of engineering in a 250 is insane, in the best sense. For someone like me who has spent time on circuits, the seriousness of the replica era at its peak is irresistible. It is the origin of the joy of revving it right out through a corner.

A four in a 250 is insane engineering by today's standards.
Just remembering the FZR250R's sound makes me tear up.
The days of revving out a 250 four are never coming back.
Are there no 250 fours these days?
