Kids Dirt Bike Guide Series | Yamaha TTR 125LE

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

I have one. It’s a great bike and a lot of fun even for adults. If you are an adult or jumping I strongly advise you get the BBR skid plate/frame brace for it that prevents the lower frame from stretching. My other mods: tall seat kit, fastway pegs in lowered position, rox risers with pro taper Suzuki bend, ASV folding levers, Cyca ProBend guards, carb jet kit., BBR chain guide block. I also got heavier shock and fork springs. I’m 6’1”. It’s a hoot. Not fast with a big guy on it but a blast in the woods and the stock gearing ratios are super smooth and useful.

[@rmatvmc]

LostInPA, i need to see a picture of this bike. Sounds like a fully built race bike haha.

I’m a 214lb 38 year old man and I cruise around on 2017 version that I got used for $2100. It’s a very fun bike and definitely capable.

They are great bikes and if it suits your riding style and you fit well on it, that's all you need to worry about. Don't be nervous!

[@jakehoskins9669]

I'd go for the full sizer. I currently ride a 250 2stroke and when I got it I was about your height. Of course, you have to think about your skill level before taking a massive leap, but don't feel afraid to go all out. Just one little tip though, get a 2 stroke, they're way more fun.

[@nature_h_]

I am 33 and 5'4". Just bought one of these and I don't feel bad at all!

[@LuziannMan]

I’m 28, 5’10”/135lbs (+\-). I bought a ‘23 KLX140r almost two weeks ago now and it is perfect for my size speed wise. Now I did replace the Stock 14t front sprocket with a 12t sprocket to give me a little more acceleration. Which I would highly recommend, you can really tell the difference when riding trails through the woods. I would say don’t worry about anyone else’s opinion, they’re not the ones riding your bike so it ain’t there business. You ride what you want and like and how you want to. Safe trails bro ✌️

Awesome bike. Got a TTR90e for my son and it was a phenomenal learner for a 6-9 year old. He's huge now so it's a 2 stroke or this bad Larry. Leaning towards the 125 because it's a proven performer and low end maintenance.

[@JeepinBoon]

36YO 220 LB very experienced rider here. I've owned Hondas, Kawis, Yamis, Suzukis... As far as my current 2003 TTR-125L. Stall proof? Actually, it is very hard to stall the TTR for an experienced rider. Technical riding? Yes, it is VERY capable. I had this bike flipped on top of me 14 times on one enduro weekend ride cutting new trails and rode away every time. I wouldn't even try to jump this bike, the throttle response and torque are way too low and shocks way too soft. Overall, the TTR 125L has proven to be an extremely reliable bike. My other bike is an 08 YZ250F and its in a completely different ball field. I was die hard Honda until I got the TTR for $800. Tried my best to kill it. Trails I cut with Honda and new trails. It's why I got a YZ250F.

Just saying, Corbin should be on something different (I mean his size, not by skill or anything else).

I personally don't ride any track, but instead, race hare scramble/ enduro races. Just for a bit of reference, for anybody thinking about picking up a bike for a kid or themselves, I am 5'3", in middle school, and ride a 250 2smoker. I know it sounds like a lot but I ride a full sizer a whole lot better than a supermini size. Anyways I just wanted to help anyone who was thinking about sizing for heights and stuff.

Its too hard, too tall, too powerfull, even my ttr 125 is tall for my 12myears old cousin wich is pretty small, if,i let him keep the bike in a hill position he will drop it, so dont buy a 250! For first 2-3 years of riding a ttr125 is best option if you really want a 4 stroke, it sound good, its tall enought , its powerfull, in your first days of riding im sure you are not gonna accelerate it too much, and dont buy crf150 if you ride on dirt roads and hillsthe suspension is too hard, believe me!

Good Luck!!!
