2004 Yamaha TT-R250 Dirt Bike reviews

I just bought the bike two days ago. My first impression was that it was a big bike, but totally worth it. I love the thing. I am a big boy and that bike carries me around like it's nothing. As my first bike, it rocks. This bike is made for trail riding, nothing major like racing. But for what this bike was designed to do, it does the job great. My friend weighs 150 pounds and has a CRF 150 F and I beat him every time even though I weigh 100 lbs more than him. I bought it used for $1000 and it's a great investment. Show less

I have had this bike for 3 years. At first I had problems with the start up on cold days. We cleaned the carb up and now it starts great. I have a great time on trails with this bike - it really tears them up. I take this bike to my friends track at their house just to screw around and it performs better than what I would expect for its weight. It really can get some air on the step up and table tops. It has plenty of speed. With a gps hooked up to the handle bars I got 72 miles per hour on road. I really recommend this bike to any body that is looking for a great bike, and wants to ride it hard.

Bought new for my daughter, age14, as an upgrade bike from a TTR 90. She took right to the ease of shifting. Now I want to get her a XT225 at age 16 and she doesn't want to get rid of her TTR125LE. It is a very good bike overall. VERY cold blooded, long warm up time. Starts after about three trys with electric starter, ten seconds, fifteen seconds and finally fires. She has run it on some back trails in TN and on the roads in Ohio. Good learner bike. Dad has GPS confirmed 63 mph (lay down on seat, less wind resistance) had it wrapped pretty tight. Change oil often, Glad I bought it. Show less

I got this bike on September 3rd 2006 for a great deal. It fired right up. I was very easy to learn on, and switches gears easy, it's just a normal 5 speed bike but when this bike goes into 3rd you can just fly. The brakes are great, and easy to control, just a little heavy for it's size, but the power of the bike takes care of that problem. If you need more power, get a t-4 titaniam pipe, expensive but will help the bike a lot!!! The only little problem with the comfort, which is probably the same for evey bike, is after using your wrist so much it starts to hurt. This is what defines a Yamaha! Show less

I've ridden dirt bikes for about 35 yrs. Recently I taught my wife and two daughters to ride on ttr125's. The bike has great throttle control for new riders and handles and brakes well. It was much easier teaching them on the 4 stroke than it was for me to learn on a 2 stroke those many years ago. Show less

This bike is awesome. I had it for about 3 years now and I love it. I do wish I had a little more power, but that's because I'm riding with friends that have yz 450f's. Yes, it's hard but I keep up with them for the most part. This bike is not bad for jumping; the suspension is really soft, though. It will get you by though. Show less

It is an awesome bike, but I grow to fast and now I`ve already grown out of it. Now I want either a TT-R 230 or a YZ 450F. It's an alright bike, though. I think for me it is just a play around bike not really meant for jumping or climbing hills - just an ordinary trail or play bike. Show less

I'm 15 and this is my first bike, I have ridden ag200 and crf250x's before. I only got it one week ago and I'm very happy with it. No problems so far and it has more than enough power for me. It easily does 120km/h. The only problems are that I havn't been able to get the front wheel up, I can do it on a ag200 so its very suprising that its hard to do on a ttr250, and the other problem is the amount of fuel I'm going through from riding it almost non stop.

The TTR-225 is a kick butt trail bike, last year I raced Harescrambles and this little bike brought me to victory numerous times. It may not be the biggest baddest bike out there, but it surely gets the job done. Show less

The bike is good for beginners who are just learning how to ride. If you want a bike, that you can take it slow on and learn, you should get this. It is nice and stable and much easier to shift than a lot of smaller dirt bikes are. Show less
