This is a review of my 2006 Yamaha tt230! Please ignore all the “umms” in the video😂.
Hopefully this helps you decide wether the ttr is the right bike for you!

Well done on the review - I have the same year bike. Change the oil and keep a clean air filter in it - it WILL last forever.

I'm really intriqued by this little bike. I owned a DR650 for 10 years which I sold recently. Loved the simplicity of the big DR and took it many places it wasn't really designed to go but I would like something a bit smaller now to have fun on more technical terrain. This really looks like mini DR to me and your review has been very helpful so thanks for sharing. I have a question about the gearing which would be great if you can answer. Is first gear really slow? A low first would be great when climbing steep hills in technical terrain is why I ask.

@TrailJoe 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah the bike is geared pretty low. 1st gear is really low, I usually end up using 2nd gear for most technical stuff, and it has a decent amount of low end torque for a 230.

I own a 2005 Yamaha TTR 230 and first gear is so low it’s almost unusable lol!

Great adolescent bike, adult learner bike, wifey bike, camp fun bike. Easy to ride, slow power delivery out of 1/2/3. Just tromps away like a tractor. Wish I wasn't 6'2 and 210#, I regretted selling it. First year riding bikes for me at 45 years olf 😂 was great to learn on! Cool YZ125 front fork upgrade 👌 😎

Nice video. Those front forks are not stock. They came from a motocross bike of some kind. They look expensive.

I recommend a 250 4 stroke or a 125 2 stroke. Some good bikes are a Honda crf250 or a yz250f, anything Yamaha or Honda is good

I’ve got a few comments on this video saying the same thing. In my experience being within the recommended height for the bike usual works best, that’s not at all saying someone under that height can’t ride that bike.

If you look it up online it saying anywhere from 70 mph to 80. Now those numbers are based off the bike brand new and under ideal conditions. I’ve personally gotten to about 50 mph in the bottom of 6th gear so I would believe it can get into the 70’s.
