being a owner of a XR400R up to a few weeks ago & now having a TTR250 I can safely say a TTR would be a hoot in NZ, I rode quads in Jan this year in NZ, great country & would love to ride a solo around your fine country.
Welcome Peter. New Zealand is one place I would love to visit. Lots of information about our TTR here. Folks here are passionate about this bike. Hope you find a TTR you can live with. TTR's handle well and are fun to ride. Post a picture of your new ride. If you can show some of your beautiful island in the background, that would be greatly appreciated! ENJOY! greg
