I had a TDR for a while - It was my only transport for a year or so. Damn good hoon bike, barrels of fun on twisty tarseal or a racetrack, lots of boogie for a 250, looked cool too. The seat sucked on long trips, & it was thirsty with not much tank range. I never liked it on gravel, it felt pretty top heavy, mind you I never really tried proper dual purpose tyres on it & I've never been a flash dirt rider.

I would be very wary of one with that amount of kms & no engine work though. They have a detuned TZR motor in them which is a well known handgrenade. Mine had a few less km than that on it when I sold it & it blew up 2 weeks later. My mate who had it before me, & myself had both treated it well too & only used good 2stroke oil in it. So if you get one like that with more than 20 000km on it, budget another $1000 for an engine rebuild at some point.

That one in the ad looks like it's had a bit of a dulux overhaul. That front tire looks like a rear too, I sure as hell wouldn't be running dodgy rubber like that on a bike that can do 170 km/h.

Cheers

I got one now.

I tried dual purpose rubber on it. Rubbish, gravel roads are about the limit. at a push. Put some sport demons on it and thrash it on the road
