Re: TTRs....
My buddy is rockin an 04 TTR. Hes had it for about a year and its held up pretty well. I heard they have oil problems though, ask 91vempo he knows more and he came up with a solution with an oil catch can. My buddies blows white smoke out the exhaust after he sets down a long wheelie like hes buring oil. Dunno if its bad or not he just adds a little oil now and then and is good to go. Oh also my buddy has the Pirelli Sport Demons on his (same as I run on my XR 100 and loves them. You can fit the 100/90-19 on the front but its a damn close fit! Rear he went with a 110/90-16. Overall I would say they are a good bike, I would rather have a Honda but Honda has nothing to compete with the TTR 125. The CRF 150 is a heavy *** tank and the CRF 100 has no disc brake. So if you are lookin for a compramise the TTR is perfect. Hope this helps!

If anything, DONT RACE THEM! They suck ***** for racing, believe me. But they're hella fun for street riding and huckin it sideways. It seems like most people don't get the point of putting street tires on a dirt bike, and it makes me sad

I been meaning to ask you, since you are the only other person I know that stunts a TTR, does yours blow white smoke out the exhaust? My friend has had his for about a year now and it still runs fine, but we were just wondering if this is normal. It usually happens after setting down a long wheelie....
You could put a oil catch inline... or just learn not to rev it so high
oh and that's my last name
