Yamaha TT-R230 Dirtbike

Question

Is this a good dirtbike? It looks like a nice price, I'm 14 will this be good for me, does it have a good top speed? I'm looking for like 60-70 Will it handle well on trails? I am 14 5'11" like 145 lbs. Will it have enough speed for my first dirtbike? I like going fast.

I won't be racing, except messing around sometimes on trails with friends, I will probably just go really fast down roads and etc. And kinda fast on trails.

Answer 1

Your exactly like me im 16,

a ttr 230 is an awesome bike, i wanted to get one but i didnt have the money,

It will definetely have enough speed for a 14yr old!, they perform great on the trails my mate had a ttr 125 (brother had ttr230) and he could keep it in the top gear for ages on one trail becos of the length and the engine had no objections, the 125 that is so you can imagine how the 230 would perform

Ttrs models are bikes of strength, you wont have a problem with speed hills doubling mates etc

cheers

p.s. unless you live in an area where cops dont care dont get 2 cocky riding on the roads and dont go up and down one road 2 long someone will call the cops

Answer 2

No offense. A TTR would be a fine trail bike... But they have weak frames and Yammy knows this. My bud replaced his frame twice then sold the dumb thing. The funny thing is Yammy will keep sending them too you. The know they are junk and refuse to fix the problem. Seriously. They take care of you, but who wants to do that all the time. I ride a crf450 and I am not trying to sway you on your decision. But definitely look at other bikes. All aluminum frame is the way to go!
