Thanks for this forum. I have just purchased a 2002 TTR250 and have spent the last weeks doing her up.
I plan to do trail / adventure riding and therefor have heaps of questions.
I live in Barwite, Victoria, Australia at the base of the Aussie Alps (Near Mansfield / Mt Buller). There is 100's of KM of trails (probably 1000's of KM) and I'm keep to get out into them.
I got the TTR after much thought. I have had bigger bikes in the past, and found them to be under used (allot of power, heavy, big). A smaller, lighter, reliable bike is what I am going to try this time = TTR250.
I will read what is already on the forum first and then perhaps ask some other questions.
The bike is currently with our Government authorities (Vicroads) getting a roadworthy test in order to gain full registration (fingers crossed its all ok!)
Welcome This is a great site with heaps of info and you'll find lots of like minded folks.
I'm not that far from you - I'm in Alexandra. You're right, there is heaps of good riding around here. I love the Eildon-Jamieson road and the trails off it for some great dual sporting.
