Hi all, new to TTR250 (pick up on the weekend) but not new to bikes

Been riding since I was 16 now 59, ATM I have 3 bikes Triumph Scrambler, Triumph Thruxton & a XR400R plus a XT225s that the wife has been riding.

 

Both the XR & XT are for sale, picking up a new TTR250 & got some bits on the go,  B&B bash plate on the way, pick up a pair of enduro mirrors, got the hand guards already & ordered the Staintune pipe today, looking forward to the Yamaha, will miss the power of the XR but the softer ride will be a bonus.

Will post photos once I have delivery & a ride report to boot.

 

Cheers Terry

Welcome, Terry, and congratulations on getting a TTR.

If you want convincing on the suitability of a TTR then read this forum from stem to stern - very little bad stuff.

Two Triumphs and a Honda show how much you appreciate two wheeling.

Keep it up - and show us all what a new Yamaha TTR looks like - especially by having no scuffs, dings, scratches or mud. biggrin

 My long time riding buddy bought a TTR250 last year for a trip to the Flinders Ranges which would be the best trail bike riding in South Australia. We went back again last week & the TTR went everywhere the XR went slightly slower but still got there.  I had a ride last Thursday on a dry weather only road & it went well. Much softer than the XR which should be kind to my body.

Below is my test ride on the TTR

Hi Terry

Great vids. Flinders looks an awesome place to ride.

I noticed from your profile you are from South Australia, I am also.

Also have a TTR. Pretty new to riding and do not know many places or people to ride with so would always be keen for a ride.

PM me if you are interested in another riding companion sometime.

regards

Steve

Not a problem Steve, I'm in the NE (Golden Grove) & I can do a loop of 200kms from here without a single traffic light...mainly dirt roads (gravel) little bit of black top & some dry weather roads.

What side of town are you from ?

We do a trip to the Flinders every year, great spot

 

Terry

Thanks for the videos, TerryK. I especially liked the Mt. Buggery (surprising name) gorge video as you picked your way through the rocks up the trail. I wish I had more offroading possibilities close to my home.

 what area are you in Kris..

Front tyre is ok on dirt roads, for heavy going or wet dirt would go for a D606 or something

 Larry, the Flinders Ranges is 500kms away so not real close...Mt Buggery, Public access route & the gorges are all 500kms away, we trailer the bikes up & it's only a 5hr trip plus stops.

 

Cheers Terry
