2024 Yamaha XT250: Great Beginner Bike for Some, Not For Others!
Вставка

- The 2024 Yamaha XT250 offers a lower seat height than many of its competitors, it also is a simple bike to own and ride, while still offering great capability. It's the perfect beginner bike for some, and the perfect secondary bike for others, but there are people who should steer clear of this bike, and look elsewhere in the showroom. In this video, I discuss this bike, who should buy it, and who shouldn't! See this bike for yourself by connecting with the awesome team at Macleans Sports here: www.macleanssports.com

These are GREAT all-around bikes. I completely understand that they're under-powered by today's standards. They are still great all-around bikes. I used to own an XT225 but sold it after a few years. I missed the bike so I bought a '17 XT250 with 206 miles on it in 2017. Rode it a couple of years, then sold it. Still not sure why. A few weeks ago I stumbled onto an ad that was selling the exact same XT250 I sold about 5 years ago. I bought it back and have been riding the hell out of it. I've been riding a little over 35 years so far. I've owned about 25 bikes during that time including stuff like FJR1300ES and MT-10. I understand the appeal of the more powerful bikes. But the simplicity of the XT250 and the all-around capability it has makes me think I'm going to hold onto mine until they bury me. I rode mine about 185 miles today just for fun and enjoyed every minute of it. Oh, and I only stopped for gas once. I got somewhere around 65 mpg riding today and a lot of that riding was at 60+ mph. This bike is close to perfect for me. 👍🍻 PS - I still have a Suzuki V-Strom 650 sitting in the garage beside the XT250. The V-Strom is also a GREAT bike in my opinion. But I haven't even started it since I bought the XT250 back a few weeks ago.
I have a 2015 bought new. I love this bike for city riding and back roads. Easy gravel road riding and camping. So easy to maintain. It will give you a life time of fun. This is a bike you buy and keep. Insurance is almost nothing. Fuel milage is around 70 mpg. Great for the environment and wallet. I get more looks and 👍then on the other bikes I ride and they are 2 Harley's and a ZX4RR.
I live where potholes can be otherworldly. The XT might be a good starter bike for road only use in Edmonton where we know how to cultivate an off road experience in the middle of the city.
Current issues with E5 and E10 blended fuels, Fuel Injection is the only way to go.
Highly interested in this bike as a new rider. The goal is to explore. I'm much more interested in the adventure side of things than the sport bike go-fast side of things.
Plus the simplicity really appeals since I want to do as much of the wrench work as I'm able.
Plus I'm 5'7", so the seat height is a positive.
Given the above this really seems like THE bike to start out on. There are a few runner up bikes, like the klx 230 or a used 250, or a Honda CRF, maybe a cb500x if I want to go long distance on mostly pavement, but maybe I get that bike after a year or two on the XT250
Nice review of this XT250.
I've had this bikes since 2008 and havnt had any problems- starts everytime and can run on the side of the road as fast as it can on the street
in Japan, this is very commonly used a adventure bike. It's called Serow 250 in Japan
انت تبذل جهدا كبيراشكرا جزيلا لك
اتمنى لوتتحدث عن المواصفات الفنية للدراجات مثل عدد الاحصنة وعزم الدوران وحجم خزان الوقود ....
Hi Peter; that's a nice looking 'ordinary' bike. Just what some people look for.

Can anyone help me with this bike? I have a 2013 that is leaking oil after I changed the head gasket, and makes a chain like noise near the stator case
Well,i spent 15 min lifetime to a wanna be worldchampion in fastspeaking to find out weather this bike is something for me or not! To be honest ,i don t know! All what was important for a dessicion you left. Things like: wheight,fuel consumtion,tank capacity,suspension travel and adjustment,horsepower,tork,tube wheels or not!price!so what?
I cover things that the basic website doesn't cover. Literally everything you're asking to find out is on the spec sheet on the Yamaha website. This channel may not be for you, and that's ok.
