Compared to an enduro bike, nothing more than a little detail yet to be unveiled! This bike is fitted with 8.9-inches of travel front and 7.1-inches of travel rear suspension and features a ground clearance of 11.2-inches. Clearly suitable for the average-sized rider (seat height is 31.9 inches) the XT250 stands as an adequate motorcycle on which to start your journeys. No matter where your eyes will take you, the tires are up for the challenge. Working just fine on paved roads or unpaved surfaces, the rubber is the other feature which sets the XT apart from TT-R and WR off-road models.
Powering the bike is a decent air-cooled 249cc, SOHC four-stroke single, which gets fed through the 33mm Vac carburetor. It seems to be up for the job as it gets 73 mpg, despite the fact that many would feel more at home on a 350cc upgraded version of it. All this baby needs is its 5-speed gearbox and it is good to go forever and ever again. Reliability is not a thing to worry about when buying an XT.
Weighing 291 pounds wet, the quarter-liter Yamaha XT qualifies as an easy to ride motorcycle with a versatile character. We know that because the entry-level Yamaha model has been around for almost three decades now and this is what keeps it going strong.
