Yamaha TT-R125E 2008

Big fun for the whole family in a small package, the YZ-styled four-stroke-powered TT-R125s beg to be ridden by everyone from bigger kids to adults. A seat height of less than 32 inches makes these accessible to most riders, but over 10 inches of ground clearance and long-travel suspension at both ends mean they’re also serious trail bikes. “E” model features pushbutton electric starting, a 17- and 14-inch wheel combination for confidence-building handling for novice riders and drum brakes for consistent, predictable stops.
