Yamaha TTR230 Review - Is It Still A Good Dirt Bike For You?

Looking to buy a Yamaha TTR 230 but not sure if it's the right bike for you? In this dirt bike review, I'm going to break down everything you need to know so that you can make the right decision based on your specific needs.

I accidentally said that it's a dual-overhead camshaft engine, but it actually only has a single camshaft.

You're going to learn:
-What kind of dirt bike the TTR230 is
-Basic specs, such as: HP, weight, seat height, wheelbase, wheel size
-How to know if the TTR 230 is a good dirt bike based on your size/height
-Why I think it's a good beginner dirt bike for adults and teens
-Why it might NOT be a good dirt bike for you
-Practical tips and tricks for buying, owning, and riding a TT-R230 dirt bike

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

The sound effects are what sold me on this bike.. lol

[-GSXR-James]

I just bought one. All i do is trail ride and very happy with it

[anguscover]

😂😂😂😂😂those motor bike impressions were spot on.

[RoyalGaming]

Getting this for sure for my first bike once I learn I’m moving up thanks for the video

Lol im 270, 6'1" i ride one of these every now and then, it certainly could benefit from springs n oil change in the shocks. Its also alil on the small side with the short wheel base n cabin area. BUT its a cream puff of a trail bike. Super easy to ride around slow.

Bro my 2009 ttr230 is straight clapped out and will cold start in 3 spins regardless of temps. I’ve started it on 35° mornings for reference. Does take 2-3 minutes to warm up though

[Dominic_Mullen_Gwoqamoleater]

do you prefer crf250f or the ttr230 as a trial bike

Is this a good bike for someone middle 40s learning how to ride and just want to ride around my farm and ranch? I'm a good bicycle rider and have ridden snowmobiles for years, but never a motorcycle. I'm curious to try it out and this seems like a good bike for that.

Seems decent I'm 53 i rode as a kid but I'm afraid this is too tame

[Adam-oziv]

I’m 5’8 60kg (132 pounds) and I want my first bike and I’ve no clue what I’m doing, but I’m not planning on buying another 1 after this so should I get this and have it for years or will I get bored of it because I want fast acceleration and craziness

[lilbil]

Could I be able to ride at 5’2? How hard would it be

[BUSTER.BRATAMUS]

I'm 6-4" 230 is this bike too small for me?

[Logan_Harrower]

Hi I’m 5’3, and 13 years old and 111 pounds what bike would you recommend

[schnellmoto]

Would by chance a person of 5.6 fit that?

[useruser-yoot]

Im only 5’5 what do you think would be best

[Jacare]

250ib beginner bike? Why do they make them so heavy?

[truss]

Still carbureted???? What a joke. Hell no

[MiguelGarcia-sssf]

These bikes suck!!! I know a few people that own them and they all have trouble starting!
