What do you think of the Yamaha TTR 230?
(Correction: it's a SOHC - not a DOHC engine as I misspoke in the video!)

Hi im 14 5ft 7 and about 140 pounds i was looking at 225 or 230 for me would i be making a good choise as a first bike? Also whats the top speed?

[@brock12892]

At your height and weight the size of almost any of the entry level trail bikes would be perfect for you. (Kawasaki KLX 230, Yamaha TTR 230, Honda CRF 250F). I’d look at whatever you can find at the best price since performance wise they are very similar. Biggest difference would be fuel injection on the newer KLX and CRF 250F models

[@Dominic_Mullen]

do you prefer crf250f or the ttr230 as a trial bike

[@MotoB108]

For a starter bike the 230 but if you have ridden before I would recommend a 03-18 CRF 250 they remind me of a 230 a lot you can do newer or older but based off what I have ridden they seem similar but the tourque and horsepower

[@Dominic_Mullen]

do u have a 450???

[@MotocrossHideout]

Why do you ask?

[@Dominic_Mullen]

@@MotocrossHideout im trying to see the size dif of the ttr and a full sized bike

[@MotocrossHideout]

This TTR230 is a full size bike. It has about a 3-4" lower seat height compared to a race bike.

[@Dominic_Mullen]

@@MotocrossHideout ok thank you

[@MichaelORourkeProd]

I bought a KLX230R earlier this year. I’ve been very happy with it. I am looking for stiffer spring options since I’m 210lbs with gear.
