Yamaha XT250
My partner and I spent 1 year on our little Xt250 s. We travelled form Mexico to Moscow.
Laura was brand new to riding and the seat height was perfect. She is no 6 footer.We rode on 80% road and 20% dirt track. It was perfect for her.
It took a while to get saddle fit, the seats arnt the most confortable.
The other thing is we had to really rev em out to do 100kph. But most of time we cruised on 80-90kph.
Laura always lead and I covered from behind as cars gained on us, they would come close to me but then give Laura room.
In hindsight I would have prefered a faster bike to keep up with traffic, but Laura had a couple of offs over the year, so I was glad she was on a slower lighter bike.
We fitted ajerbas tanks on both, 600km between fills all ready for Russia. But we found fuel every where in Russia East to West easily. Mexico unexpectidly
became our drama, having covered just on 600kms twice to get fuel.
Test as many as you can.
