Yamaha XT250/225
The Reliable Trail Companion
The Yamaha XT250 is the definition of simplicity and reliability in the dual-sport world. First introduced in 1980 and continuously refined over the years, the modern fuel-injected, air-cooled 250cc XT remains a favorite among new riders and seasoned adventurers alike. With its low seat height, lightweight chassis, and bulletproof engine, the XT250 is as comfortable exploring backroads as it is tackling technical trails.
It's not the fastest or most aggressive bike out there, but its legendary durability and ease of maintenance make it a trusty Bushpig for riders who just want to get out and ride—no fuss, no worries, just pure two-wheeled freedom.
For those who prefer an even more compact and nimble ride, the XT225—produced from 1986 to 2007—remains a cult classic, offering a lower seat height and six-speed transmission while retaining the same go-anywhere attitude.
