Wondering if the yellow/black KR model RZ ever made it to Canada?
Couldn't find a straight answer.
Did the KR come to Canada?

Never seen one here. Never heard of them being for sale here. Rory should know

Thanks for the post. I figured Rory would chime in eventually with the definitive answer having been in the scene back when they were released!

They were never sold here, only the US 48H model had that colour scheme in North America.

Re: Did the KR come to Canada?
The yellow/black colour scheme was specifically requested by YMUS at the product planning meetings as they tied their RZ marketing to KR & roadracing. Smaller Canadian import numbers didn't support having a second colour & Kenny wasn't "a thing" north of the 49th parallel...

Just for fun...no. OldTZracer, worked at Yamaha Canada back then. He is the resident expert.
