Simple question: is the TT250 up to it?
That amounts to about 8K per year, and I’d to have the confidence knowing that this motorcycle will last for years to come.
Also, I like the Yamaha XT250, but after visiting the dealership the other day, that bike at $5199 MSRP is $6062 out the door. So, from a price standpoint, a TT250 sure is looking more appealing. Man, I forgot how crazy those dealership markups were.
Thanks for your answers!

Yes it's up to it, but longevity depends on the maitainance it recieves. There have been owners reporting up to 50,000 miles on these engines when the oil is changed regularly, and valve clearances checked once in a while after break in...ARH
