New Yamaha Dirt Bikes For 2002!
Improved Four-Strokes/Proven Two-Strokes - New Stuff/Old Stuff/Good Stuff
XT 225
The XT225 is a street legal, dual-purpose bike, one of only two in the line up. It was built for those who want a versatile on/off-road machine that's easy on the pocket book, and easy to handle. A reliable 4-stroke engine puts out strong, predictable power across the entire RPM range for good on- and off-road performance, while electric start provides hassle-free, reliable starting. Wide-ratio 6-speed transmission and manual clutch helps in providing performance for a wide range of terrain and conditions.
The low seat height of 31.9" creates a low center of gravity for added
maneuverability and inspires confidence by allowing most riders to put a foot
down when stopped. The XT225 is also one of the lightest, most compact machines
in the category.
