tought someone might be looking for a platform to build a smaller displacement on the cheap.
located Central PA
-
Pictures and a price?
-
email tekebird@yahoo.com
CA is probably not worth it with shipping costs.
-
We'll never know.

Seems it is not a 125 but a 230 roller.
feel free to make an offer will get around to photos later.
but considering you can find these things for 500.00 or so can't imagine why someone would want to buy one on the other side of the country as a roller.
But Hell, It's your money I guess
-
Still no pictures or price! To bad the truck and trailer just left Harrisburg for the left coast. Oh well my loss. I guess I don't need to spend any more money.
-
I probably don't want it.
I have no idea even what it is.
Or how much.
Is it green?
Would it ship in one of those USPS "if it fits, it'll ship" boxes?
Where would be an appropriate place to display it?
Is it bigger than a breadbox?

recon some folk don't get the hints. :roll:

I have had many years of experience with TT225 and 230 Yamahas add a little bit with TT125's. They are one of the best of the little trail bike engines. Qualities are decent performance, tractability, durability, and simplicity. They cannot be made to be leaders in their displacement class for power. The geometry of the cylinder head prevents the ports from being made into any shape that is remotely near optimal. These are great pit bikes, not racers.

At last!
A clue!
It could be something involved with Yamaha!
-
We have deduced that it has 2 wheels and an engine, mayhaps manufactured by yamahammer, but the owner has no camera or idea how much he wants for his little treasure. mmmm

Stan, its a secret code like SCTA car designations. TTR is a late model Yamaha trail bike. 125 is a small displacement one and the 230's are more popular. The picture shows one.
The TTR's used to be the bottom of the line for Yamaha dirt bikes. The big four plus Husky and KTM got into a dirt bike arms race. The bikes got real tall with seats far off of the ground. More suspension travel that way. They went to water cooling and fuel injection. Don't ask me why. Then, to get power, they went to dual overhead cams with shims and buckets and extremely over square engines. The bikes make power but they are hard to ride, very expensive to maintain, and they need much more frequent rebuilds.
There are plenty of dirt bikes out there for long legged twenty and thirty something guys full of testosterone. Everyone else makes do with bikes like the TTR's. They are top of the line for a lot of folks. They are good bikes and parts are available and reasonably priced. Now, if we had some more details about this one.

Ok so he got the size of the bike wrong and there is no price but the title of the post say's it all roller i think that means that it's two wheel's and no engine. just my 2 cents.
