A forum for owners of Yamaha TTR250 trail and enduro bikes!

You may have noticed that I have been a bit quiet lately. This is because I have been quietly working away in the garage on a very nice TTR250. I am just back from the MOT station with a new certificate so it's now going up for sale to make room for my other projects including my frame-up 350 build. 

Regarding collection, I use Lee Costello (07811 353090 - Motorbikes2u@gmail.com ) and his price from anywhere in the UK is usually around the £150 mark but I am sure he would be happy to quote you. Otherwise, Shiply is worth a punt although you may not get dedicated bike movers like Lee - it's all he does and he has all the right gear, insurance etc.

This will be the last TTR250 refurb I will do. I have a very special 60's BSA B44 motocrosser in boxes that I want to get around to doing (after a BSA C15 restoration and the TTR350 build!) and then enjoy my riding with only fettling jobs to do 

Anyways up, here is the advert. You guys are the first to see it 

PM me if you are interested. I am happy to answer any questions. A viewing and test ride (assuming insurance cover can be proven and I have the cash in hand!) is highly recommended. I am always nervous of buyers going on the photos alone.

Reliable and economical 250cc four stroke with 6 gears - the perfect dual purpose commuter/trail bike.

First registered June 2004. MOT until 1st December 2020. Mileage 37,244 but this may increase slightly whilst advert is live.

Genuine bike in great condition. The engine runs nicely and the clutch and gearbox are also very good.

The TTR has undergone a partial restoration whilst in my ownership and I have upgraded it from a commuter bike into a ready-to-use trail bike.

All in all, a great example of this sought-after bike.

Starts and runs well.

Suitable for someone who has passed the A2 as less than 33 kW.

There is a good range of after-market accessories for the TTRs from a dedicated spares shop - Totally TTRs - www.totallyttrs.com

There is lots of information on this very popular and sought after bike at www.ttr250.com

There is also a very active owners group on Yahoo - http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/TTR250/  (that's us on here!!!!)

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.

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 the UK's technical lanes.

Lowering links are available for the less-tall rider which take about 2" off the seat height.

There are lots of cheaper TTRs around but the choice is yours. This one is in very good order – you won’t be disappointed!

I live on the outskirts of Exeter and am easily accessible from Junction 25 of the M5.

Sensibly priced at £2,250 

Cash on collection or bank transfer only please.
