Brand-new from Big Blue is the 2008 TT-R110E, which replaces the TT-R90E. This feature-packed playbike is sure to be a part of family fun for years to come.

A powerful 110cc, air-cooled, sohc four-stroke engine offers the convenience of electric starting and a class-exclusive four-speed transmission with an automatic clutch. The TT-R110E should be easy to maintain and keep running strong due to features like the CDI ignition system, automatic cam-chain tensioner and tool-free air-filter access. The exhaust system features a USFS-approved spark arrestor, which means there are many more places it can be legally ridden.

Anchoring the chassis is a steel backbone frame and swingarm. Up front, a 31mm fork delivers 4.5 inches of travel, while the Monocross rear shock provides 4.3 inches. Thanks to its 7.1 inches of ground clearance, the 110 tackles rough terrain with ease.

A low, 26.4-inch seat height means that a variety of riders from fairly small to fairly tall can operate the bike easily. A big 14-inch front wheel and 12inch rear roll easily over most off-road terrain.

Drum brakes front and rear provide just the right amount of stopping power.

Team Yamaha-inspired colors and graphics with front and side numberplates ■ look the part. At $1849, the TT-R110E is sure to be a

great choice for kids eager ( \ Jr

to hone their riding skills. ¿Qs ¿Æâ '
