lithium said:Hi, sorry im not really answering the question here, but if your options are still open, there are alot of other off road bikes to consider for various reasons. Ive heard that the TT-r 230s front suspension basically just goes to hell after awhile. Also the bike is overweight for its power output and can even be beat by Yz85's. However, if you are a beginning rider i would say this is a really good bike because it is easy to handle and its quiet. It just depends on what you are using the bike for.

Very similar except kick start, and about 20 lbs lighter.
Drum brake up front
AR15 guy said:Rear wheel HP on the crf230's is around 16-17. I figure the ttr230 is very similar. I decided to get the Honda personally. I did a lot of reading and people seemed to prefer the Honda to the Yamaha. The Honda appeared to sit maybe an inch higher at the dealership. I went ahead and spent the extra 200$ on the honda. Supposed to have a slightly stiffer suspension (I weight 180...at 135 you probably won't notice much difference). I have also heard the honda is alittle faster but it could be BS.
I'd like to have something that flys but this is a trail bike...and it was cheap. I need something reliable and good on trails more than I need a screamer.
Sure! The TTR 230 is very mello, low to the ground and well made. If you end-up wanting to move on to something more aggressive the TTR 230 has good re-sale value, if well taken care of.I'm looking to buy a TT-R 230 and I want to know if it is going to be a good bike for a beginning trail rider
