Review
The 1987 Yamaha TT 225 is a lightweight and agile off-road motorcycle designed for fun and accessible trail riding. Its 223cc engine provides adequate power for tackling various terrains, while its 6-speed gearbox allows riders to effectively manage the engine's output. Weighing in at just 100.7 kg (222 lbs), the TT 225 is exceptionally nimble and easy to handle, especially for less experienced riders. The 884mm seat height may be challenging for shorter riders. The TT 225 features telescope forks for the front suspension and a single disc front brake for reliable stopping power. Its 7.94-liter (2.1 US gallons) fuel tank provides a decent range for exploring trails and backroads. The bike's design is simple and functional, emphasizing its off-road capabilities. The Yamaha TT 225 is an ideal choice for riders seeking a lightweight and manageable off-road motorcycle for recreational trail riding. Its user-friendly nature and responsive handling make it a great option for beginners, while its capable engine and suspension allow it to tackle a variety of terrains.
