This Yamaha fits my riding style and comfort perfectly! The dealership was great to work with on a new 2009 that they had in stock. They gave me a fair price, answered all of my questions, and went out of their way to make sure I was happy before the sale, and after.
This dual sport bike does everything it should and with enthusiasm. After comparing with the Kawasaki KLX250S and the Honda CRF 230L, which they had in stock, the right fit was the Yamaha, and I couldn't be more pleased.
In the first 200 miles and following the "Break-in" procedures, I have been on the street, short freeway runs, and on some light off road trails, and the bike has excelled in each area.
The 250cc engine is plenty of power, coupled with the light weight of the bike, make it user friendly in any conditions. The bike is made to last, typical Yamaha, with great styling as well.
I would recommend this bike to anyone looking for a true, dual-purpose motorcycle.
Upgrades/Accessories: The availability of accessories for this particular model are somewhat limited, but the bike doesn't really need anything. A rack for the back from Yamaha might be a nice addition though.
