Yamaha XT description
1996 Yamaha XT 225 dual sport motorcycle. Single cylinder, 4 stroke air cooled, electric start with a mono shock adjustable suspension.
I bought this bike 3 years ago for my son, to ride to school, practice and events, ect.(FYI In Arkansas a 14 year old can legally ride a motorcycle under 249cc anywhere. Check your laws.)
I have installed new: Battery, Brakes, Sprockets, Fuel Valve, Chain, Air Cleaner, Dyna Port Carb Kit and Rear Tire.(Rear tire has less than 50 miles! Front tire has 50-55% tread.)
This is an Excellent Bike. It runs great and gets phenominal mileage! (67 mpg plus for my kid, 58 with a 260 lb rider) It will cruise easily at 60 -65 but does slow on hills. It will top a decent hill with a 260 lb rider at 48 mph in high gear. (Would've been faster if shifted down but wanted to check it)
It will go anywhere you want to drive it.
It uses NO oil.
The ONLY problems are: Cracked signal light (my son let it fall over in diveway) its cracked but still in tact and works fine (see pic) Also has a few cosmetic scratches.(handlebars from tiedowns and a few on plastic from gen use)
This is a great bike for a starter bike(its not to tall) run around bike, haul on your RV, cattle checker or Gas Saver. Its older but in perfect condition.
NOTE: This item is for sale locally and auction may end at any time without notice.

Yamaha Releases “Master of Torque” Anime
Thu, 20 Mar 2014Yamaha is producing a Japanese anime series called “Master of Torque” to promote its new MT series motorcycles. The four-part series follows three young riders in a fictional version of Tokyo set in a 2017 where everyone seems to ride a Yamaha. The series prominently features the MT-09 (a.k.a.
Rainy BSB tests are nothing new
Mon, 25 Mar 2013THE combination of bad weather in the UK and a European testing ban means that most BSB teams will now start the season with very little track time. This sounds like a disaster for the top teams but history has proved this isn’t necessarily true and it sometimes doesn’t matter how much pre season preparation has taken place. Back in 2002 Sean Emmett won on the IFC Ducati at the opening Silverstone round after first riding it in unofficial practice the same weekend. Steve Hislop took the other win on Pauls Bird’s well sorted Ducati. More recently in 2009, Leon Camier took an untested new model R1 Yamaha to victory at the Brands Hatch opener after GSE took delivery of the bike just the week before. Sylvain Guintoli won the other race on a well developed, well tested Crescent Suzuki. You could argue if no one has had testing then it is a level playing field but you have to feel for riders moving up to the superbike class in the world’s toughest national series. Tyco Suzuki’s PJ Jacobson is one such rider but having spent some time with him over the past few weeks he seems to be taking it all in his stride. It may be the confidence of youth or maybe the fact he has won in every other class he has entered in his short BSB career, but I suspect he fancies at least standing on the Superbike podium at Brands (He also does a bit of ice racing which is not dissimilar to the this year’s UK testing). The testing ban was implemented with all the best cost cutting intentions and if it had been any other year in the past decade all would be well. The teams may be feeling frustrated but the fans should be excited. With so many unknowns, the 2013 BSB opener at Brands Hatch could be the best ever!
