I'm new.. Just wondering if there's still any countries in Europe, or anywhere selling new TTR250's. Also, I'm guesing it does, but does anyone know if it shares the engine with Yam's other 250's (serow, xt, trickers, wr250r, etc!)
Many thanks for any help.

Welcome to the forum Her. Whereabouts are you based? It would be good to see some basic info on your profile
As far as I know the TTR is no longer in production (happy to be contradicted!) and the last market was Australia (2012?) where there are still some new "old stock" TTRs available from dealers.
The TTR doesn't share its engine unit with any other Yamaha.
The blue 1999-2012 TTR's are all the same except a few irrelevant minor differences like decals. These models use a blue plastic tank and a mechanical speedo.
The older 1993(92?)-1999 steel tank Open Enduro models have different color schemes and use a digital speedo.
I have a full comprehensive service manual in PDF format for the blue model that I can send once I receive a PM. The older Open Enduro model manuals can be downloaded from Yamaha Australia here- http://www.yamahaownershandbook.com.au/index.php . Unfortunately, the are not very ''comprehensive'' but at least include a wiring diagram (which is slightly different to the blue models).
Enjoy the forum!

Ps. I am pretty sure Brian will have no dramas sending you a quote on any items that you desire + postage. I am not sure on whether or not your country charges importing fees but it would be a good idea to Google it to be sure. Brian will probably know...

Hi Jimmy and thanks for adding details to your profile - much appreciated
We are happy to send to France. We already have some customers there. There are no customs charges between EU countries so the price we quote is the final price that you pay.
bonjour her...thats the only french I know sorry! welcome to you .I would definately pick the ttr as you can see from above lots of help and advice here from an excellent bunch of chaps with a massive knowledge of the ttr .if you search on here most of your questions will be answered and if not you just ask and the gurus of the ttr world respond
Thanks that all sounds great and its a great community.
I will look for the newer blue one, since its not possible to buy a new one. I like working on motorbikes but trying to avoid surprises from past neglect. Many people here don't ever even change oil.
Jarrah I will probably get a message to you for one of those manuals and have it printed into a book. Very kind of you.
