Sadly due to the family and a new toy I am letting my TTR go. I have hung on to it for the last 10 months thinking I may get back to riding it more than once a month and then only on roads, but no so it has to go.
Great runner was used for a daily 6.6 mile round commute until new toy arrived.
MOT until July Some service history
All original except:- Handle bar grips! and Speedo (If I can find the orginal then that goes with the bike).
I have fitter a Vapor Digital speedo and Rev counter still has screen cover on it..
£1500 ono.
Almost new tyres, Chain set less than 1000 miles of easy road work.
Nothing but remove the wing mirrors. However it will depend on what you are doing with it.
The Video shows a group of riders in the Peak district including another TTR250 with larger back sproket and Mt tyres. He is an experienced road racer and fell many more time than me! Climb out of Monsal Dale.
The surface here was wet rocks and very steep, not easy to see in the video, but watch the bike sliding down hill to get an idea. The same type of tyres as currently fitted went up with no issues. No one else made it. During the whole day out I never got stuck in the mud! So you pays your money and takes your choice.
My advice would be to ride the bike on the road a lot and get used to the way it handles before going off road. The only difference in set-up I have made since is to put on a slightly larger rear spocket. Once you are very confident on the road you will find it easy to just concentrate on the surface and not worry about bike control as much. Might be why I did so well as I road the bike most days.
