Well wife gave me a card yesterday & it said ÿou can keep the Yammie" I was under instructions to sell the TTR after buying the WRR you little ripper, didn't want to sell it & the TTR & WRR are the perfect pair as well as the other pair of Triumphs twins.
Was working toward that plan & returning the TTR to it's previous state, refitted bash plate, exhaust, barkbusters, exhaust, enduro mirrors, seat strap removed as well as other crap for ADR's
Only things left are to swap the tyres back & change the gearing, I sold the B&B rack so thats out of the question but I never liked it anyhow.
'The TTR & WRR are a bit like my Triumphs, one is a hoon bike & the other is a ride at your own pace sort of bike.
TTR carby & ride at your own pace
WRR efi & ride hard, hoon bike
Scrambler, carby & ride at your own pace...cool bike
Thruxton, efi cafe racer, hoon bike n the twisties
Well that's my thoughts on the four bikes, of course everyones ideas could be different
Having owned a XR400 & ridden DRZ400's I understand, the DRZ400 & XR400 are pretty close in performance but the TTR is just lacking a little HP, hence me buying a WRR which I love.
As you may have seen on some of my videos we get up to 4 DRZ400's on the rides but both of my Yamaha's can hold their own but mainly rider
I have returned the TTR back to where it was prior to getting the WRR but have not ridden it so time will tell & perhaps I might turn it into a TT350R....that would be ideal
I found the same with my TTR, keeps up with the DRZ's and DR's, except on the road, don't care about that anyway.
But Dr zed if fun, came hard out of a corner the other day, lots of throttle and the front wheel came up in the middle of the corner, FUN
another thing I noticed is the DRZ doesn't really feel any heavier than the TTR, although it does have a Lithium battery ATM and a light weight aluminum exhaust system
I think it shed over 5kg just there, you know the mirrors weigh a couple in at 900grams and all the other useless brackets, that's all gone now, I would say close to 10kg all up
then I went and put a 17l safari tank on and some nice big Pivot Pegs, the Safari's hold close to 20l though, so add 8kg of fuel back for the first 200klm
It's going to be good though with 20l of premium unleaded I should be able to get nearly 500kl from a tank
Oh well loose some get some back
No kick starter though, so I'm going to wire in a charge/jumper cable setup as a backup.
