The TT Story:
The original TT500 was created by Yamaha Motor Co. Ltd., in Japan in 1981, and was specifically designed for the Desert Race market in the USA. Essentially a heavily modified and stripped down XT500, the TT500 became a firm favourite with American riders who appreciated its gutsy performance, superb reliability and rugged character. Across the Atlantic in Europe the popularity of on/off road machines was growing and there was a booming market for big single dual purpose motorcycles. High profile desert race events greatly enhanced the image of the large capacity 4-stroke dirt bike in the off road world, while urban riders found the upright seating position and high-torque engine of the TT600 ideal for use in busy city streets - and the ultimate play bike for weekends. Between 1983 and 1992 the popular TT600 was updated with a number of important features such as the addition of a front disc brake in '85 and many other detail changes that enhanced the bike's overall performance. More than any other machine the TT600 captured the spirit of adventure that prevailed in the 1980's. At this time the Paris-Dakar rally had grown from a relatively small event into one of the most important occasions in the off road calendar, and every January millions of people all over Europe followed the progress of competitors like Franco Picco, Serge Bacou, Jean Claude Olivier, Andrea Marinoni and Giampiero Findanno. Riding their single cylinder TT600-based desert race bikes, these riders conquered the most hostile terrain and climate known to man, and proved beyond doubt that the Yamaha TT could handle anything. Against this background the TT600 became the favourite choice with riders planning the trip of a lifetime to distant lands. Tough, simple and reliable, the TT600 allowed thousands of people to live their dreams and see the world from a new perspective. Launched in the early 1990's, the TT600S was designed to satisfy the growing demand for a new breed of more versatile bikes designed for on and off road use. This was followed by the TT600E in 1994 which differed only in its electric starter and lowered suspension - features which were to increase the bike's popularity with riders looking for an even simpler machine for on-road riding. Now, for 1998, Yamaha revert to the original, pure and undiluted off-road spirit with the new TT600R.
Caganda moto.
Não é uma moto de corridas, mas chega a todo o lado, com muita tranquilidade.
Não é uma moto de enduro, mas chega a todo o lado, com muita tranquilidade.
Não é a mais confortável, mas nem á desconfortável e o pandeiro chega a todo o lado, com muita tranquilidade
Mas é muito fiável, muito pouco gastadora, muita simples de mecanica, muito fácil de conduzir e até muito bonita.
E é a minha escolha para uma viagem de 1 mês por Africa, a ser feita com muita tranquilidade.
