What does TT-R stand for/mean?

[Ben500RR-S]

My kids like to think it stands for "Time To-Rip"

I wondered the same thign,google told me this:

"The "-R" on the end is the standard Yamaha designation for a "race" model, meaning that its engine and suspension are harder core, set up for competition off the showroom floor. So, "TT-R," if it can be said to mean anything specific, could mean either "T-Model Trail-bike, Race," or "Time Trial, Race."

Also someone posted here: Old Yamaha fourstrokes were TT's (TT250, 350, 500, 600 etc...), the R is just added by the marketing department.

And yeah the R is totally marketing, these are not race ready bikes, more like learn to ride bikes before you trade them for a real race bike lol

Thanks, very interesting. 

 

At least the kids are loving them as is the wife.

Funny.  Train, Then Replace.  It is true, the 110 and 90 will someday, be replaced or maybe even traded.
