Yamaha Motor Australia has released a road legal version of its popular and reliable 2007 model TT-R230 dirt bike.

Full lighting kit, indicators and mirrors means the TT-R230A complies to Australian Design Regulations and can be ridden on the road plus join the fun on the trails.

The versatile 230cc engined dirt bike is designed for riders of different sizes and abilities, and is ideal whether pottering around and learning the ropes or exploring the bush in the company of bigger capacity machines.

This versatility comes thanks largely to a compact wheelbase and low seat height that offers superb manoeuvrability and super-responsive handling. The TT-R230A also features YZ styling with flat seat/tank junction for great rider mobility. And the YZ-style diamond-type frame provides great handling and strength.

A strong, air-cooled, SOHC, 4-stroke engine with electric start pumps out predictable power aimed at easing both beginning and intermediate riders into the off-road experience. Convenient, reliable electric starter ensures hassle-free, push-button starting.

It's equipped with a smooth shifting, 6-speed transmission with heavy-duty manual clutch that taps into the TT-R's broad powerband for instant hook-up in a wide range of conditions.

The TT-R230A comes with lots of convenience features including ultra-reliable CD ignition system, automatic cam chain tensioner and YZ-type air-filter.

A new linkage-mounted rear shock serving up 221mm of smooth, progressive rear wheel travel and the new 36mm front fork with 239mm of travel provides plush, confidence-inspiring control over rough terrain.

ADR equipment includes a speedo, indicators, blinkers lights (and brake light switches) and the front brake comes with a braided steel hose for improved stopping ability. And like all Yamaha's the TT-R230A is equipped with DataDotDNA theft protection.

All the additional ADR components are easily removable to turn the TT-R230A back into a stripped down dirt bike if needed.

All this at a price you'll love: $5999 inc GST.
