A true dual-sport bike should be light, exceptionally maneuverable, tough as nails an equally nimble on road and trail. That's the definition of the 2007 MY Yamaha XT225, one of the best choices when looking for a small, economical on-off bike to do it all. Commuting and streaking through slow traffic is a breeze thanks to its slender profile, while higher-speed rides are also possible thanks to its 6-speed transmission.
Tackling rough roads is easy with a 21" front wheel, while compliant suspensions smooth out the road irregularities, even riding with a passenger. All-rigged construction ensures the bike ca take abuse and still work great.
