TTR 230 vs CRF 230

[Andrew Aslan]

Hey guys,

Im looking to get a big bike, im most probably getting second hand and 4 stroke.
Ive been looking at the 230's and don't know which one is better..
Im 13 yr old and i want to have the bike for as long as i can.
I was looking at the TTR 125 and CRF150F and i thought that ill grow out of it in a some years. So im looking at TTR 230 and CRF 230, which bike is better? More reliable and powerful.

Cheers

[Andrew Aslan]

Ok.. So what you suggest? And do you know much about them?

the honda has reasonable power.. u wont get bored too quick.. the yamaha is best when riden harder. but the honda has better handleing and comfort which makes the difference.. ( got this info from a moto mag i got) in my opinion take the honda... it will last for like 50years hahah

Someone said that Honda's are very 'fitliy' they have to 100% or they wont kick over and the Yamaha are more reliable. My dads got a TTR 250 91 model and that still going, always start second kick
So is it true about the Honda's having to be very perfect to go? Unlike Yamaha's?

[Peter1230]

any bike will if it is looked aftered.
my cr125 starts first kick. most are normally like 2-5 kicks.
oh and they probably have electric start so u wont need to worry.

Ohk, does any one else no much about 230's? Or does any one reconmend any thing else..? any advice guys?

[Peter1230]

maybe an xr200?

What about the crf150r? I can do motocross on it aswell as trial? Because its a four stroke race bike does that meen i have to rebuild the motor like once a year? or not because its a four stroke? Because i like doing motocross as well as trail riding..
