Yamaha XTZ 250
Dual-sport motorcycle
The Yamaha XTZ 250 is a dual-sport motorcycle designed and produced by Yamaha Motor do Brasil, starting in 2006. It is a variant of the XT250, which is marketed worldwide, and derives from the 1975 XT500 model, which established a successful range of dual-sport motorcycles, including the XT600 Ténéré, that greatly contributed to Yamaha's image. It replaces the XT225 in the Brazilian market.
Three models were introduced. The 2006 enduro-styled "Lander", the 2010 adventure-styled "Ténéré", and the short-lived 2009 motard "250 X".
The Japanese XT250 Serow is very similar, but with a 28 hp carbureted 6 speed engine, lower seat, lighter weight and rear drum brakes.
