In the beginning were the trail bikes, civilized off-road [[motorcycle]]s that were as usable on the highway as in the rough. From that starting point, it was only a short step to the creation of multi-purpose machines with the power of [[sportbike]]s.

It began with the creation of a wild racing formula. The machines were run over mixed courses that were half dirt trail/half blacktop. On the course, the best riders from three disciplines - [[motocross]], [[enduro]] and speed events,confronted one another. For this type of event, very special hybrid motorcycles were evolved, taking their basic concept from motocross and their road equipment from clubman racing: wide-section tires, close fitting front mudguard, large diameter disk brakes and relatively short-travel suspension. Aggressive and endowed with diabolical handling, these racing machines quickly inspired modification kits for trail bikes.

It came with a 100/90-18 front [[tire]] and a 120/80-17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc in the front and a single disc in the rear. The front suspension was a  Air Assisted Telescopic Forks while the rear was equipped with a Single Shock. The TDR250 was fitted with a 3.7 Gallon (14.00 Liters) fuel tank. The wheelbase was 54.49 inches (1384 mm) long.
