I'm not convinced, would you put twin front discs that size on a 250? Considering my XT600 Ténéré only has one.

I don't speak Portuguese but the article heading for the photo of the bike appears to read photo-montage, suggesting it's a mock up to show what such a bike might look like, if it was ever considered, designed and built, using this magazine as inspiration.
Needless to say, I don't think it's real.
Which is a shame because I think, for the solo rider, a 250 with that frame, tank size and seat would make a great overlander!!

In the picture it's the 1200 and 660 that have two discs, the 250 appears to have one.
Why wouldn't they make it? Anything to get a few more sales surely?

XTZ 250 Lander in Brazil
Hi guys,
they also have a XTZ 250 Lander in Brazil, which is really good bike. I think it is even fuel injected(not sure).
It is used for Enduro Recing too, I saw some really amazing Desert Racing Versions in Brazil, strong bikes!
We don´t have the Lander in Germany... stupid people only want big bikes...
I think it is like travelling on the old DR 350 Suzukis, it is really a shame that they don´t build bikes like this anymore... okay there is still the brand new Beta 4.0 Alp out there with the DR 350 Engine, but do you get parts on the road???

Could not agree more ! I have a 250 serow but something with a better tank range geared up for adventure travel would be a great idea - bring it on Yamaha and import it to Europe !
