Hey Endurotour,

By the looks of your tires, you seem to be using it on the road. It looks great!

Is the ttr250 capable of cruising well (comfortably) on the highway as well as going offroad? Is it really comparing apples to apples? (ttr250 vs klr250)

We are looking for true dual purpose bike. Not to try and conquer steep, muddy, rutty goat tracks. But just trek around easier consistent tracks & highways. That's why KLR or KLX is on the agenda.


And did you mean yours is for sale?

Hi Scott and Patrick,

Patrick thanks for adding the photo, to easy i guess, hehe..

Scott, sorry my bad not for sale.. thought getting up close and personal to the bike away from the shop envioment might be a bonus.

I have used the bike primarly on the road, sits on 100/110km ok, if there is a head wind or large hill action its a bit buggered when all the camping gear, food water etc, maybe back to 80kph worst case. returns about 21km/per lt at this speed/load. Normal riding 90kph returns about 25km per lt.
Longest day in the saddle was 13 hours/1000kms and felt quite good at the end, just an easy run melb to central coast north of Syd. (with screen fitted)
Off road, I have used the TTR on the MX tracks (broadmedows and Barrabool) with out any hassel, jumped car size'd spaces ok (bike fine me aware of fear).. On the sand loaded up on Fraser Island went really well, stock tyres etc. Same thing on the sand and old train lines in Tassie.
Dirt bike type riding with mates was great, handled everything although i might look at slower gearing as the road gearing i use was a little high in first for the rocky/loose hills. (mansfield high country)
The tyres are the stock road / trail option, work well on the road, about
20K+ from the front, 12k+ on the rear (15k avg).
i got this bike for much the same reason as you have written, although i wanted the button start as well asthe kick start back up, good for piece of mind.
It has a 2 year warrenty thats good anywhere in the world, although i dont look to get it over seas before it runs out. umm so far 37k+ in 15 months all going well,
hope I have given enough info, a few others have used them for RTW, Lois in the UK is setting one up for Africa at the moment. cheers for now Allan

Thanks Alan, your info was very helpful. Time to start looking at a few and if my mate and I are down Melbourne way sometime (We are from Warragul) it would be good to catch up and show us your rig. We are going to be riding out Bunyip State Park quite a bit because it's local to us, if you're ever down this way for a trail ride let us know. Also Walhalla and Maffra country.

hi i got a klr 250 91 model great bike very happy with it to i am up dandenong way would like to join you guy if you go for a trail ride been dieing to take it out its road/reg do about 300-400km a week on it
