Welcome Gerry,
A TTR will be perfect. Good luck in your search.
I'm only a whipper snapper in my fifties, so two more decades of dirt bikes to look forward to. Wahooo..
He rides a TT250R, in fact on this trip we had 3 x TT250R's Derek above 73yrs, me Terry 63yrs & Dave 57yrs I think. Don't think Australia ever had the TT125R or if so they may not have been able to be ridden on the road.
Well here is Derek 73yrs with me following 63yrs both on TTR's up in the Flinders, Derek spent last week over in the Victorian Hill country on a TTR. I have posted this video on previous post so sorry for the double up

Was out yesterday leading a group around the hills, I did warn them that Three Chain rd is red dirt & could have mud due to the overnight rain. Our almost 80yr old went down in one mud patch.
In fact he has said several times he loves mud, well he is English I guess...anyhow here is a couple of photos of a crazy old Englishman covered in mud
Cheers Terry

Nice photos and video, not hanging around in it Was he pointing the finger of blame at someone
What Mirrors you got on your bike Terry?
Richard was pointing at the mud & the line he took, I went through it at 80kph perhaps 85 & was fine, Richard slowed down to about 20kph & tried to steer around it & lost the front.
The mirrors are sold as ENDURO MIRRORS I've used them on my XR250, XR400, I fitted them to the TTR & WRR when I bought them, they work well & are out of the way in fact I've used since 1982 when I bought the XR250 new & in all that time only damaged one when I went over the bars on the XR400.
I have a lot of overseas riders ask me about the mirrors, I might research the part numbers & let you know, they come in two styles, clamp on like I have or the screw on like OEM mirrors with a threaded shaft.
I can get a close up photo if you like, let me know
Photo on the WRR, same mirrors as I have on the TTR
And on the TTR
