Yamaha XT250

Yamaha · 30 model years · 1980-2026 All Yamaha models →

The Yamaha XT250 is a lightweight dual-sport that has carried the XT name since the 1980s. The modern version, introduced in 2008, uses an air-cooled 249cc single with fuel injection added later, in a low, friendly chassis with a seat height of around 810mm.

It is aimed at new and shorter riders who want a bike for both commuting and gentle trails without the tall seat of a competition-based enduro. It is simple, reliable and inexpensive to run. Rivals include the Honda CRF300L, Kawasaki KLX230 and Suzuki DR200S.
