The TT-R has proved itself as a highly versatile road/trail or enduro mount with convenient touches such as an electric start engine with longer service intervals when compared to the more race bred WR models. More practical touches such as a longer fuel range, easier riding suspension and an engine that has proved very reliable makes the TT-R a great option for the road/trail rider.

Of course performance is behind that of the awesome WR but the TT-R should not be discounted for those wanting a less maintenance intensive option and an easier trail ride. The TT-R 250 is no slouch though as it matches Honda's XR, Suzuki's DR or Kawasaki's KLX when it comes to performance.
