A TTR-230F has more horsepower than you'll ever use for a while, and will not possibly kill you or get you in trouble fast like a YZ250F, which is a full blown race bike. They aren't putting out the horse power, but you obviously haven't ridden something just a touch over 200 pounds with well over 20 horse power. Even a TTR-230, that can't rev to 14k RPM like yz250F will haul ***. The suspension will be a little softer because it's a trail bike but you can play with it a little. It will handle any abuse you may put on it. Many moons ago I had a yamaha TTR-90, and I rode the living piss out of that thing and I bet it's still running wherever it is. These bikes are not mountain bikes.
