What bike is better a ttr 230 or a crf 230?

Answer 1

"The ttr 230 is good but it is more like an enduro. The crf 230 is more like a Motocross bike. The crf is a way better looking bike. It is more expensive. The TTR is good for trail and some track. The crf is good for both."

Having owned a 2007 crf230 and ridden my friends 2005 ttr 230, I prefer the ttr. The Honda crf230 was a great bike, don't get me wrong, but the stock suspension is very soft. If you only weigh 120-140 lbs, you will probably love the crf 230, but weigh 180+ and you'll bottom out the suspension at the slightest jump. There are many suggested modifications for the crf230, which include doing a fork conversion to a better suspension due to the poorly designed forks.

Both bikes have nearly identical power, torque, and top speed, but the suspension on the ttr 230 was a little more substantial. Essentially they are both trail bikes, so you won't get the output of a true motocross bike. But if you are going just off looks, I agree, the Honda is the better looking bike of the two.
