See the world one trail or road at a time  – made possible by the 2012 Yamaha XT250 and TW200 dual purpose motorcycles.

The XT250 has long-travel suspension and more than 11.2 inches of ground clearance under a seat only 31.9 inches from the ground. Electric start makes firing up the 249cc four-stroke effortless while the 245mm front disc and 203mm rear disc brakes combine to deliver superb stopping power on both paved and unpaved surfaces. The semi-double-cradle steel frame achieves a lighter, nimbler feel through greater mass centralization while greater lateral and torsional rigidity and reduced weight of the lower frame parts help produce light, stable handling. Additional features include the multifunction digital LCD instrument panel with cool green background lighting that’s easily visible day or night, and frame-mounted passenger foot pegs to provide two-up riding capability.

The XT250 achieves fuel economy up to an estimated 73 mpg (US)* with a fuel tank that holds 2.4 gallons.
