TheRealFatShady Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I just bought these two bikes. 1987 YZ250 1986 TT225 They look similar, I don't have them at my house now, but I believe (from what I read online ONLY)that the TT225 is four stroke and the YZ is 2 stroke. Other than that, they look very similar. Is there any info on the TT225 that I should know? I couldn't seem to find much information on the internet. Thanks!

Paper Mache Man Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I just bought these two bikes. 1987 YZ250 1986 TT225 They look similar, I don't have them at my house now, but I believe (from what I read online ONLY)that the TT225 is four stroke and the YZ is 2 stroke.

I've found this forum a good resource for all things old and Yamaha. You really just need a workshop manual for it though or at the very least a parts manual.

Gas up - Let's Go! Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 The TT225 is most commonly known a a Serow. Lois Pryce (The goddess of overland travel) rode one from Alaska down to Chile, then back up to Brazil, a couple of years ago. A very underestimated bike.

Ryan09 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 If you want to check Lois pick up some older copies of TBM she writes (did not sure any more) in there of her trips and has a book out, interesting read. Serows are good bikes aswell, nice and easy to ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lois hasn't written in TBM for a while now. There is another Girly who is a bloody good rider BTW, Jenny Morgan, she did the Heroes Ledgend Rally in November (that's the real Dakar, not the one in South America), she's currently doing a few articles. Lois has two books (Lois on the Loose, Red Tape & White Knuckles) and numerous videos - mad a box of frogs though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
