That bike has similarities to the bike ridden by Mick Andrews' Japanese (Yamaha employee) riding companion in the 1975 SSDT (kickstart shape, tank graphics and top shock mount location)

There are also differences - the bike in the SSDT photos has strange extended fork tops and a standard TY250 exhaust heat shield

Hi guys

I found this picture when searching in Google

Can someone tell me anything about this bike please

Hi,

I think it's the bike of the young 19 year old Haruo Kimura who became the first All Japan trial Champion with his TY250 as you can read (with glasses) "H.KIMURA" under the number one on the bike :)

Thanks for the info and especially those very interesting photos

Where are those photos from - a book or magazine ?

the photos are "SSDT photos courtesy of Peter Paice (Mick Andrews' Aussie riding companion in the 1975 SSDT)" ie they were taken by one of the riders (Peter Paice) and have not been published in a magazine or a book
