2007 Yamaha TT-R230

YZ style and function for tons of fun.

Racy styling meets total user-friendliness in the new TT-R230. This one’s built to take whatever you can dish out and keep on thumping.

Welcome the TT-R230. With a compact wheelbase, low seat height and convenient electric starting, this bike is the ideal choice for smaller or less experienced riders.

Climb aboard and be a part of the YZ legacy: the styling and awesome lightweight handling of the TT-R230 are directly inspired by our competition bikes. You’ll tackle any terrain with confidence. The rugged, air-cooled 4-stroke engine with its convenient electric start pumps out plenty of predictable power. And the off road suspension is guaranteed to make short work of rough terrain. Little wonder you’ll want to ride all day.
