Just signed up to this new site as I have had a 2005 TTR250 for about three years now and love it dearly. As I live in the countryside, I get to use it offroad fairly often although illegally as nobody likes bikers on their land do they? I also ride a 1000cc Honda for long haul and touring so the two bikes give me a good mix of biking styles. My motto with all my bikes has always been, 'if it ain't broke don't fix it!' so don't expect me to comment with any wisdom on changing sprockets, jets, etc. Mr Yamaha did a good job with this bike and it suits me fine. Happy riding all.
Greetings to you too Longinus. As to riding on other people's land I would have thought you could broaden your horizons a little. Have you considered Caesaromagus or Durolitum as other venues? Martyn
