A forum for owners of Yamaha TTR250 trail and enduro bikes!

bbwayne · bbwayne

Hello everyone. I do enjoy off-road driving and I'm willing to try trail bikes since I got a spare time to do so. Right now, all we have is a Yamaha YZ250. I'm planning to sell one of my trucks so that I could afford a more proper bike. Glad I found this community! - Wayne

Sorry if this is long winded, just an explanation of how I got here... Been riding since I was 4. Back in 2005, my wife gave me permission to buy a new bike.

Paul 37 Grenoble area '99 250 TTR, which runs well thanks to skills and also a reliable mech.
