Rare opportunity to buy a 2005 Yamaha TTR250 trail bike that has had a frame up rebuild!
Reliable and economical 250cc four stroke with 6 gears - the perfect dual purpose commuter/trail bike.
First registered December 2005.MOT (full MOT – not a “daylight" one) until June 2015. The bike comes with a comprehensive workshop manual on CD.
Completely nut and bolt rebuild starting with a powder coated frame
Refurbished engine with 1st oversize genuine Yamaha piston kit, new timing chain and sprag clutch
New sprockets (14/48) and quality Renthal R3 chain plus new chain guard and chain slider fitted
New Polisport wrap-around handguards and grips
New front (Michelin AC10) and rear (Pirelli MT43) road-legal off-road tyres. These can be changed for tyres of your choice if required subject to any cost difference.
Brand new genuine Yamaha seat (black seat option available!)
New fork gaiters and front mudguard
New battery and new indicators fitted front and rear
New genuine Yamaha headlight surround
New "Totally TTRs" stainless steel tail tidy
Full renewal of all linkage and swing arm bearing and seals
Dual start - electric AND kickstart
The TTR has a proper ignition switch (unlike many enduro bikes) plus steering and helmet lock
Full speedo and idiot light cluster with speedo in mph
Fully adjustable suspension front and rear to suit your riding style
Suitable for someone who has passed the A2 as the TTR is less than 33 kW.
Suspension is currently standard but if necessary 2” of seat height can be lost with a lowering link
An excellent example of this sought-after bike. It starts and runs well.
All spares are readily available by mail order from somewhere like Fowlers or over the counter at your local Yamaha dealer. Very little changed other than cosmetics between 1993 and 2006 so there are no worries about getting the correct spare part as can be the case with Honda XR250s etc.
There is a good range of after-market accessories, genuine new Yamaha parts and used parts for the TTRs kept in stock by Totally TTRs - see http://www.totallyttrs.com/ . There is lots of information on this very popular and sought after bike at www.ttr250.com
Very economical and will do a day's trail riding on a tank of petrol. Plus it has an "all-day" comfy seat unlike more enduro-based machines.
The TR250 is a perfect beginner's trail bike but also suitable for the more experienced rider who realises that it isn't necessary to have a big engine to enjoy themselves on Devon's technical lanes.
There are a few cheaper TTR250s around but the choice is yours. This one is in very good order – you won’t be disappointed!
Excellent value at £2,400
Bank transfer or cash on collection preferred please.

Well the bike is now in my garage and this weekend went out and did 60 miles around the back roads of south east Cornwall (stuck to the roads as I'm not ready to get it filthy just yet!). I have to say the bike runs like a dream and I am one very happy bunny
