Built around Yamaha's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 1987 Yamaha TT 225 pairs a 223 cc (13.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing.
On the scales, the TT 225 measures 100.7 kg (222 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 884 mm (34.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,374 mm (54.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7.94-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
