Yamaha XT250 Test Ride and First Impressions: Quite Possibly The Best Dual Sport for Short Riders

I was very excited to have a chance to take out the 2022 Yamaha XT250 on an extended on and off road test ride thanks to our friends at Power Yamaha in Sublimity, Oregon. The Yamaha XT250 is one of my favorite dual sport motorcycles for new riders because of its low seat height, modern features like fuel injection and disk brakes, low cost of ownership, and easy power delivery. This extended Yamaha XT250 test ride gave me an opportunity to do both an on road and off road XT250 test ride and I was impressed with its performance. My overall Yamaha XT250 review is that it's a very capable and easy to ride bike for a dual sport beginner, but has enough power and capability to make it fun for even an experienced rider. It's not fast but you can push it as hard as you want and never get yourself in trouble and that's its own kind of fun.
