The Yamaha XT250 is a motorcycle made by Yamaha Motor Company.
Released in 1980, this dual-sport motorcycle has been a staple of back roads and farms. One was ridden by Rambo in the 1982 movie "First Blood".
It also featured in Season 4 of Knight Rider, as Reginald Cornelius III/RC3's bike.
Starting in 1984, this model had its top-end output reduced to 17 hp @ 7,500 rpm due to emissions control considerations. In addition, this model featured redesigned plastics and a more compact gas tank.
Having been discontinued in 1991 in favor of the Yamaha XT 350, this model was reintroduced in 2008 due to increased popularity of the 250 cc class. The XT250 is branded the SEROW 250 in Japan. In 2013, the USA XT250 received a fuel-injected engine.
