2006 Yamaha TT-R125E Dirt Bike reviews

I am a macanic and I built this bike from ground up. I have had scary misfortunes with 2 strokes and so I went with this project. Started with a bike with a cracked frame (previous owner said it fell off the trailer a few times), a siezed motor, bent every thing, rear brake won't move and shot suspension! Not to mention, the previous owner had all the bolts stripped, not fitting right with 16mm and 1/2 inch sizes and badly painted with black spray paint! I had a friend with an old YZ 80 with ONLY a siezed motor who sold me the parts. I put a whole YZ 80 together around a TTR 125E motor and rebuilt the motor. Added sweet upgrades and it was finally done. I got disc brakes too! It handled great! It was heavy though, but not bad. If I knew Honda was coming with the 150, I would buy that. But I love my YZ 125 Electric start. Show less

TTR 125 is a great starter bike and a ton of fun for people who have some riding experience. I wheely almost effortlessly, and you can do a good 60mph on it. Bike is solid and needs very little maintenance. It is a great bike to learn on for kids and fun for adults. TTR is really not a bike that you should modify since it doesn't have a lot of power. It does great in stock form; the only thing I would do is put in a bigger pilot jet since the stock one runs too lean. Bike would start easier and rider better. Clean the carb at about 20 hours of ride and the bike would do real good. Over all I think that it is a lot better than any other 125 out there. If you are thinking about getting one, don't hesitate. Yamaha has hit a home run with this little monster. Show less

My dad got me this bike for trails and now I'm doing motocross! I am a TALL 9 year old. It beats the Honda 100 and it is also my favorite. I recommend it for people who would like a bike for a long time. Show less

I bought this bike for my 11 yr. old son and in one day, he was shifting gears and riding comfortably in a grassy field. It's a great starter bike for the younger ages. Awesome performance and a bike that you'll have for many years. Show less

This is a good bike to mess around on but this bike is meant for trails and trails only. If you want hit jumps and crap I wood go with the yz 85 or yz 125. Dont get me wrong this is a great bike to syart out on and build with I have a GYT-R pipe on mine and it can move. GOOD BIKE!! Show less
