About the Ducati 888 Superbike Racer
On the 26 th of September 1993, a young and inspiring motorcycle racer
named Tetsuya Harada was adding the final touches to his machine at the
Jarama racing circuit, just prior tot he last round of the season. This
would make him the first Japanese World Champion since 1977. His closest
rival, Loris Capirossi, was ahead in point standings going into this
last race, but bad luck plagued him during the dynamic battle for the
250 cc GP2 title. Although this was Haradas debut season for the World
Grand Prix, he had been working closely with Yamaha for the last couple
of seasons, perfecting the works TZM bike, which allowed him to win the
1992 All Japan Championship title. The 1993 Yamaha TZ250M used a 249 cc
liquid cooled V-twin cylinder engine capable of 94 horsepower. Its crankcase reed valve induction system was combined with an
electronically controlled exhaust valve system. The highly sophisticated
six-speed gear box used an electronic cut-out gear changing system that
eliminated clutch operation and minimized racing stresses. This awesome
powerplant was mounted on Yamahas exceptionally rigid twin-spar
box-section aluminum frame that was capable of head angle adjustments.
The rear suspension was also of box-sectioned aluminum to withstand the
enormous power and traction. The bike rides on Marchesini cast magnesium
wheels matched to Dunlop radial tires. The superb stopping power was achieved by front Brembo and rear Nissin Brake systems.
