- I was lucky to get my hands on a 2022 Yamaha Xt250 dual sport motorcycle at www.woodscyclecountry.com in New Braunsfels, Texas.
It is a great bike with a low seat height.
Insurance is inexpensive and I got a great price; at least I think I got a great price.
There is no place to ride near where I live. But, I live near Fort Hood, Texas, and I will be getting a range pass so I can go fishing in the lakes and ponds on Fort Hood.
You are also invited to watch some of my 2020 Triumph Speedmaster videos.
Have a great day!

worse part of buying new is dealing with dealerships/salesmen :(
Not at all bad at this dealer. I have bought two bikes from them in a year and they really are spot-on with everything they do. They really give a shit about you as a customer - they are a family-owned business and that makes a big difference.
Nice bike! Can’t find any of those anywhere in Canada. 66 years old. Haven’t ridden for decades but wanted a little more fun in life after covid. Had a Grom on order since March. “It’s in a container somewhere between Thailand and here”. Finally called around. Kawasaki dealer was just taking their last klx230 out of a crate (first week of August). I gave the salesman a deposit right then. Called the Honda dealer and asked if they would mind selling the Grom to someone else when the container eventually arrived. “No problem”.
Rode that bike off the lot and right into a rainstorm🙈 Hands clamped onto the grips so hard it took about 5 minutes before the pins and needles were gone enough so I could operate my wallet to put gas in the beast. Then took a motorcycle riding course all last weekend. Learned so much stuff. I just didn’t know what I didn’t know. Unbelievable. And it was fun! I might take it again next year and make a video.
I have been thinking about the same thing. A dual sport that is a small displacement size. Congratulations on your new ride.
Lotta fun. I'm 68 and ride any day its above 40°F & under 90.
Congratulations! Looking forward to future videos on the XT250 experience.
Great info thanks a lot for taking your time and helping others👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for a different perspective on the XT250. I enjoyed your video.
You chose well! The XT250 is a great dual sport and you WILL have many years of great reliability, performance, and economy with your new bike! Congratulations!
The XT is a great bike and very under-rated. Enjoy it! I loved mine, and wouldn't be surprised to get another one someday. Hope to see some videos of the XT!
Yeah Buddy! I LOVE Dual Sport!! Ride on brother.
What an honest video, and yes, you nailed it; if you have your heart on a bike that you really like buy it. Safe and healthy riding Sir, that’s a workhorse and you will really enjoy it.
Thank you a bunch!
Congrats on the new bike! Several years ago I was going to buy a new 2016 FJR 1300A from Ride Now Georgetown and ran into the same thing you did, lots of add-on ridiculous fees so looked elsewhere and found one with no additional fees or charges from Destination Cycle in Kerville TX, totally was worth the ride out there to pick it up as I saved around $1100.
Enjoy the new bike and be safe.
Thanks for commenting. It’s a sales culture not a bike culture.
Make sure you make a video of the first impressions with that XT250, and congrats on the video 👍
Enjoy your new motorcycle
I am 63 and also just recently did the same as you... the price the seat height and Yamaha reliability.
Its gotta be a lot more fun than, lawn bowls.
Outstanding post, Thank you kindly for sharing.
Thanks for saying so.
Excellent brother we are the same age, I haven't ridden in years but now's the time for some fun... you're information is good & some funny excellent edits in the vid. New subscribe here.... maybe short time ahead they'll be more of these around HOPEFULLY
Thank you. For Sunday morning I am posting another XT250 vid just riding around town having fun!
Thank you for sharing your experience, I was looking for a deal on 2022 Honda Grom MSRP is like 3,399. Salesman asked me for 5K out the door, they got me to 4.8K, I said you would blow a deal for 200 bucks and he said, "yes"(did not get the Grom). You are correct, deals are tuff right now, if you find what you like get it. With interest rates going up, 200 bucks, looks pretty small. Happy you got a deal you can live with. Happy trails and be safe.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I'm an old man too, went from an 800lb Harley to this xt250. It feels like a bicycle lol. 2021 with 500 miles $4500. Its brand new, I put the first scratch on it strapping it down. I'm going to have a blast on this bike it's awesome. By the time I get it registered and tagged it will still be less than msrp and isn't even broke in.
Sounds really great. I also have a Yamaha Tenere 700. Coming off that tall big bike and getting on the XT250 - it feels so damned small !!
Great story and great choice!
The XT250 is a fun little bike. I bought a used 2009 with about 1200 miles last February. It looks the same, but it's carbureted. I bought it for my teenage daughter but I was so pleasantly surprised by how much fun it is to ride that I take it with me in my camper whenever I go camping. I take it and a KLX300. I actually prefer the XT250 as a woods bike. The low seat height and weight just make it so easy to ride. I've bought a couple bikes at Woods also, a KLR650 and a Versys X-300. Now that they have Royal Enfield and Indian, they've got something for just about anyone. Congrats and enjoy!
I am having more fun with it that any other bike I have owned.
I have an 08 with only 5000 miles.Love it to bits
Little trick we did back in the day for the clutch and brake lever is to just hand tighten so it won't move but if you put your weight into it you can move it then when you hit the ground and turns instead of braking then you can push it back into spot and giver. 👍🏼🤠 I ran the shit out of a dt125 1983 for about 15 years and did the top end and sold it and that little bugger is still going somewhere I bet.
That makes lots of sense to hand tighten those levers.
hi handsome. this is BIG news to us , your subscribers! we love it ,ride safe
Uh-oh …
I'm looking at all kinds of bikes just like that. You made the right choice because those heavy adventure bikes, it takes the fun out of it. It sort of works, but you lay it down in the mud and try to get it up again. The lighter the better as long as it gets you to the trail. Not that I've had one. I have a 600 Shadow that I take on old roads and once I tried it on a trail and barely got out of there. It only weighs a little over 400, like 420 or something, but it's too much weight when you get off trail.
I really like your video. Many of us go through the same thought process and experience in buying a bike. I agree with you on the ridiculous dealer fees. Some of those might make a little bit of sense on a new bike but not on a used bike. It is just a way of upping the price after they think you have your heart set on the bike. You have to be cool headed and walk away which you did. I prefer to buy with cash rather than a loan if I can so I can get away with basic liability insurance. That is one of the reasons that I like these smaller bikes. I can afford to buy them outright and save money on the cost of insurance and interest.
Thanks for your comments.
Interesting you mention "Rambo" and his XT (well, not technically his). That movie was filmed right down the road from me, in Hope BC Canada, and that very bike came up for sale a couple of years ago in the local dual sport forum. Apparently it had been bought after the filming, and kept here safe and sound.
Great story. Thanks for sharing that. 👍
Gotta love dealers and their fees and claiming they check things so thoroughly, yet they are cheap as it gets with actually fixing anything. I bought a 5 year old SUV last summer from a big family name dealer in my area. I noticed no odd noises or issues when I test drove it on two separate occasions. After a few days of driving it, I noticed the brakes were squealing at creeping speeds and the pedal felt a little soft. I took it to my excellent auto shop I trust to have them looked at, and they said the pads were low and it needed rotors. (Mind you, the dealer had changed the oil and had marked on the sticker the brakes were “fair”. I had the brake job done because I was going on a camping trip the following week and would be pulling my trailer. I contacted my salesman about the brakes to see what the dealer would say about it. I was told their shop followed procedures and the brakes passed their inspection, and they couldn’t look at them again by my complaint because I had already replaced them. It chafes my behind that they could’ve put a cheap set of new pads on it and the brakes would’ve been quiet and fine for a little while, but nope…
Nice bike, i used to ride was in the sadle sence 13years, quit at 59 was going to get a crosscuntry hd wife sick back problems turned out it was brest cancer she died in 2010 by then my knees hurt so bad. Now at 75 all i do is remember when, i had trymphs, bas, norton, hd hummer, first one was a simplex surf cycle partner ownership. I had a alstate cruseair for paper delivery. May last 4 were hds whith a seatpost between the engine and trans. Wife had a sportster in 83 looks like a supper glide.
Put on some knobbies, pull off the front wheel mudguard, Ricochet Skidplate, Brighter headlight, Handguards, Risers, Pro Taper Bars (Windhelm bend) , and finish it off wiht pro taper handgrips. At least that what i did to mine.
I’m an old man and I love my reliable xt250… simple effective and super fun.
Odo ? What oil grade and interval ?
the bass in the beginning caught me off guard 🤣
my first cousin just bought one 3 days ago and paid 5200 out the door in Alabama. Im glad he did because I was bouncing around the idea to buy one. Its a great bike but for me I am going with a klr650 mainly because Im just a bit bigger and the xt was small for me. And I can get the klr for only 500 more
On the other hand I thought the KLR is too big for me. I have spent years only looking at them. Once your mind is made up that is what you gotta go with. No regrets that way.
Thanks for the video sir. I'm from Dallas/ Ft Worth but now live in Seattle unfortunately. I have never owned a motorcycle and only recently have I been looking to buy one seriously. I saw that same bike and wanted it almost immediately. I know nothing of motorcycles, but it looks pretty gosh darn rad! I love the look of dirt bikes and it takes me back to that 80's feeling. Had no idea that bike was on Rambo not did I know that they made them back then. My credit is just average and have been trying to build it up. I don't see how I could pay what you pay a month for it. I have a driver's license but haven't had a vehicle in ages. I have been just renting vehicles since living in Seattle since 2006. Could you give me any advice other than what you said already on video? I will definitely look into the insurance part for that particular bike. I feel this would be the perfect bug out bike. Thanks again bud and hope to hear from ya! Hope all is going well with that super cool bike of yours! I'm jealous!!!
They're great little bikes. I have a 2017 XT250 that I bought new. It has 4300 miles on it now. No issues at all, never been back to the dealer. I 've checked the valves once (exhaust side was a little tight). Just oil changes, chain maintenance, new air filter and one new battery. My typical riding speed on the county roads is 50 mph indicated (45 mph per the gps). The speedo is optimistic by 5 mph. The indicated 50 mph has the engine turning 5000 rpm (I added a small induction tachometer). I knew the limitations of this bike when I purchased it and avoid high speed roads. The little engine seems very happy at 5000 rpm.
Cool! I am having more fun on it that my Triumph Speedmaster or any Hardly-Ableson I have owned. It is like a bicycle with a motor. I have had it up to 75 for a brief spurt. It runs smooth. I’ve wondered if the Speedo is accurate but have not compared it with WAZE or anything. I need to get a phone mount.
Shout out to woods cycle great people. Actual riders actually do stuff for the motorcycle community
Nice editing, nice bike 🏍 👍
Thank you, man!
Rambo had a 40 year older model but still pretty cool 😂
Great post. Really enjoyed it. I too am in my mid-60s. Owned a Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic for years, but three years ago scaled down to the Vulcan S 650 Cafe for the smaller size and weight. Love it, but looking for a get-about bike. Had my eye on the XT250 for the past two years. You've convinced me.
I’ve got a 2021 XT 250. I’m glad to see someone else calling himself old man. I’m 72 and I rode this little critter quite hard for my age and crashed a lot. It’s the toughest little bike that I’ve ever seen, you can crash it still looks good. because I wear all of the gear motocross gear that is I never got hurt and I bet you I crashed at least once a day without exaggeration. That’s is because I was trying to ride as good as I used to ride and I can’t lol.
I have bought some tight fitting body armor (shoulders, elbows, back, tailbone) and waiting for some off-road boots to come in. Gotta get some knee/shin pads too before I try any real off-roading.
I’m now thinking about getting knee braces. I always wondered why people wait till he hurt her knee before they get knee braces why not get them before you hurt your knee. I am so afraid of hurting myself and not being able to ride anymore .
Also I forgot to mention I have that body armor your talking about it works unbelievable. I landed on my back on the rocks many times I can’t even count them. I ripped the new jersey pretty bad just from falling on rocks but I never got hurt.
@@Warpig639 I am afraid if I hurt myself it will take long to heal or screw me up for life!
Good boots shin pads and that body armor you’re talking about it is a must for off-road riding. Very confidence inspiring good equipment is. I remember when I was young come off the bike and land on my knees and it hurt like heck. Finally got a little money together and bought some boots, pants and some shin-pads
I agree as I will be 63 in April and have been riding most of my life I live out in the desert in Las Vegas now and was thinking of getting a dual sport to ride out and camp in the desert. How do you like your XT250? Thats why these days I will buy a used low milage bike.
It is great for me since it has always been a childhood dream.
Good Story Mike. What is that yellow Jacket you are wearing? Thank You!
It is made by Bilt - they don’t make it any more. I bought it three years ago from Cycle Gear. I removed all the protection pads and replaced them with CE level 2. I really like Revit gear - well made and mid-priced; affordable.
Recently I purchased a 2021 CRF250L and a 2022 XT250. Both were purchased from out of state dealers, because none were available in my home state.
Both bikes are used, low mile trade-ins, and I paid same as msrp of a new bike (No shipping, set-up etc charges, just a nominal paperwork charge). No haggling & no financing, and I did not wait around to let somebody else come along and snatch it away.
We will all be needing them if Joe Biden continues to bring down the country.
@@ThreeBikeMike Absolutely.
I used to ride just for fun. These days I wear a backpack and ride to the grocery store, etc.
Looking on the bright side, I'm having more fun now - Brandon did that!
Which one do you think is better? I’ve heard Honda has really lost their touch and that Yamaha is the way to go but considering you have both, you are probably the best person to ask
@@alexchristian5399 Well, they are different.
I am 6ft tall & CRF250L is almost too tall for me. I deal with it, but have dropped it many times.
I went down 2 teeth on the cs sprocket & love the creeper low first gear. Top speed is still way faster than all the posted limits on the roads I ride, & at 50 mph I'm just over 5k rpm (halfway to redline)
I bought the XT for my shorter daughter.
It was the perfect seat height for me, but I lowered it 2" for her. The XT five spd gearbox is great. The gears are spaced wider than the 6 spd CRF. I don't really like shifting through 6 close ratio gears every time I go a short distance.
The liquid cooling on the CRF250L is probably much better in every way, but on the other hand, the air cooled XT has no cooling system to deal with.
To sum it up IMHO, (& I'm older than sheet) for the way I ride, the XT is easier to throw around & more fun on the trails, and the CRF is easier & more fun to ride on the twisty back roads. I'm tempted to get a set of aftermarket wheel assemblies and throw some road tires on it.
Neither bike is raceworthy, but very funworthy.
Hi from.cleveland texas. I'm starting to make.dirt bike videos. Hope to see you out there
Just purchased my 2022 XT250 today . $5,199 sticker… $6,733 ( tax , freight , dealer prep & set up , registration and license tag everything out the door ) cash deal .
Finally! Yay!
@@ThreeBikeMike I waited almost two years for one to become available. Dealerships couldn’t even order one until this past November, and I was fortunate enough that I happened to call on the day before thanksgiving and they had just been allocated for two bikes . I made the $500 deposit for one . Both bikes were sold before they even got to the dealership.
I looked at the used market and only a couple were available ( a 2015 XT 250 with 9,000 miles on it was listed for $4,700 ! ) that’s when I decided to just be patient and wait to buy a new one . Seeing how well they hold their value, I think it’s a solid choice for a bike investment. Dirt bikes / motocross bikes and most street bikes don’t hold value like that .
@@NorthwoodsNomad Wow. I bet you are happy now! The one thing I did not want to do is compromise and get some other bike because I would always be kicking myself for NOT getting the XT250. I am going to do a video soon of how to search for one, and actually BUY one without hesitation.
@@ThreeBikeMike looking forward to seeing more videos from you !
Stay safe out there and thanks for the feedback 🙏
I like the high handlebars
Wondering about installing the protectors for off-road?
Let us know.
All the brush guards I’ve seen call for the grips to be cut off at the very end. I have not decided on any just yet.
ThreeBikeMike, I have bought motor cycle handlebar grips new that have both ends open, lots of them. You probably already know that?
Anyways might look odd on your TALL Handlebars 🤣
@kaytme5915 No I did not know - haha - or I would have some !! Where did you get them?
Oh!
Well I buy them at motorcycle shops. I think all motorcycle shops that sale things for
*off-road* keep them in stock. I have bought them in north Dakota & California motorcycle shops.
I have never bought anything online.
I’m amazed a dealer was able to get six of them.
A dealer near me in NYS has 5 XT's and 3 TW's no big deal if the dealers order them at the right time when Yamaha offers them. Not covid starved any more. All depends on the dealer's reputation with Yamaha too as some dealers get offered more of certain models than others. Before covid the dealers around me struggled to sell the Xt's and the TW's so they didn't order them but since covid everybody thinks they want them. Watch... once the dealers get inventories back up to what they were 80 % of all the dual sports sold will be for sale used with real low mileage because so many people thought they wanted them when we were all quarantined. The same thing with those little Honda CT 125's. Everybody and their brother wants one of those right now for some reason then in a year or 2 after all the people that wanted them bought one and find out how slow and worthless for any serious riding those toys are there will be a lot of used ones for sale.
$6700 is insane for a used. XT250. Out the door I can get one down the road, new 2024, for $5000.
Thats without TT&L, out the door at my dealer its $5300 for the bike and with TT&L they quoted me about $6600 but thats a new 24, $6300 for a used is nuts. I'm also an older guy thats buying a xt250
If dual sports bikes are selling fast and are popular then there should be many more options on the market specially from the four Japanese big brands. I'd like that. 👍
There are but you have to mostly look at the Japan aftermarket. By that I mean Japan. eBay. Etsy. Not the usual places.
Good price !
I, too, am a 60 years old man and can appreciate your video. Thank you so much.
Great. It’s a continuing adventure for us.
@@ThreeBikeMike Clearly, you simplified my purchasing decision and probably saved me a few bucks in the process. Respectful Regards.
@@johnallen7230 So glad it helped. That original dealer I went to has been bought out by Ride Now Powersports and it is a complete turn around from what it used to be. The dealer experience matters so much !!
Having a very hard time deciding between a YamahaXT250 or a Honda CRF300L
The Honda has a much taller seat height. Either is a great bike.
Ride now has a terrible rep. In Central Florida. Sky motorcycles as well. The problem with bikes in this category is the dealer add ins makes the bike too expensive. From your video it seems you were all over the place in deciding what bike to buy. I guess you followed your heart with the 250. Enjoy!
The consignment price on the 2020 wasn't to recoup the original buyers money he already had the screws put to him. The dealership was trying to make you pay the same bogus fees the first buyer did for the same bike. I had a deposit on the 2021 CRF300L and bought a used 2021 XT ( 400 miles) before the Honda came in. Gave 5k for it and probably could've talked the guy down a couple more hundred. I was just glad I didn't send the almost $1500.00 in dealership fees. They lie and say most of the markup beyond the MSRP is Tax,Tile and License but they had the brakedown on the Honda. Unfortunately for them I can read and do simple math. Saved money or not I'm glad I bought the XT it's a great bike.
Six and one-half dozen of the other. Depends on if they put him on another bike when he brought it back. Cannot know for sure. Weeks later, salesman texted me to see if I am still interested in an XT250. I did not respond.
I cannot remember if I mentioned it in the video. I was also talking with a Honda dealer in Farmers Branch, Texas about a crf300L and their price came in a little under 10 grand. Hell no!!
@@ThreeBikeMike Also if you look at the maintenance schedule of the CRF300L you spend a lot more money versus the XT. Can't remember exactly what it was but it's more costly to maintain that the CRF250L. I'd much rather have a 2020 250L than the 2021 300L because of the maintenance price difference. The XT is great maintenance wise. I got to thinking about dealerships and there ways and at 600 miles instead of taking my bike in for maintenance I spent a few dollars for the feeler gauges to check and see if my vavles were in specs myself. The vavles were spot on. People will say if you don't take it in for maintenance it voids the warranty but nothing is going to happen to the XT in a years time unless I abuse it. So I saved the money I was going to spend having the dealership do nothing but an oil change for hundreds of dollars and changed the oil myself. The whole vavles clearance check is probably the manufacturer helping the dealer rape the customer because those vavle nuts are tight as hell nothing is vibrating loose. I know you'll enjoy the bike because is a great one.
Enjoy
Is this road legal
Do you have new videos?
Because I don't see any from you.
It takes time. I have a playlist for the xt250, though - czcams.com/play/PL0xrKgn38sHJfd8jejaZQIYgdJJUNEBE2.html&si=5Vb2Nn9MGp3FXo-u
That's where I'm at.
No video on the bike??
Oh, damn. You know I shoot more video than I edit together. One is on its way!
MSRP means nothing anymore. They prefer financing over cash. Thay have a grab bag of fees for the day.
As much as I love a new motorcycle, there's no way I can buy new.
I was looking at TW200s. Out of the door, I'd pay $6400.
For a 200cc bike with no bells or whistles.
That's plum insane.
You are right. Anything like this purchased about March 2020 were at what I call pre-pandemic & pre-Joe Biden prices.
One option I had thought of is a Chinese 250 dual sport for like $2k.. But a DR650 is my other with the XT250.. I think I would be happy with the DR650 also
Dr650 is too tall for me but I’ve been tempted to stop in just one foot.
No matter what anyone says or what you think "setup fee" at a dealership is a 100% RIPOFF. Motorcycles from the big manufacturers are 100% built, tested and shipped assembled. Does anyone with half a brain think a motorcycle manufacturer is going to build a motorcycle to exact specs, disassemble it for Joe shit the rag man at the dealership to reassemble it then warranty it? 2 miles from my house is a warehouse filled with motorcycles and four wheels fully assembled in creates. Dealerships only put gas and oil in these bikes. If you buy a hawk motorcycle or similar then they do set it up. Why are people so stupid believing the setup crap? Do car dealers put the wheels on brand new cars from the manufacturer? Do you think Lowes and HomeDepot have a team of pit stop type mechanics that setup their riding lawn mowers. Do golf carts get sent to the Pro Shop to be assembled? Does taking a part the create the motorcycle is shipped in considered setting it up? Look at all motorcycle manufacturers web sites and each motorcycle list an MSRP it also says DOES NOT INCLUDE DESTINATION FEE. No where on any of those sites does it say, SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED. This is CZcams people watch videos like this on CZcams but there is also videos of motorcycle manufacturers building their bikes from start to finish.
You should make some videos. They would be educational.
not like the high handle bars
I’ve had 2! Best bikes I’ve ever had❤
Wow, you Sir is my HERO👏... You'll GIVING US BACK OUR UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Our dreams, my dreams to ride again someday 🥰 you Keeping us safe for being more poor and away from scum, scammers, greedy, and sailfish bad business people...they know that some of us will pay for it no matter what it cost without hasitattion. I too was guilty of it when I was young and got me broke but life must go on. It's sad but it is true. They do feed on that weakness...Well Sir, stay safe and thank you for a very educational video LOVE IT.. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY Sir...💐🎉👏
I was at a dealer once and there was a very young couple with a toddler, and the salesman was trying to get the guy to buy all his riding gear and finance too!! Yep. I have been there. They will try to get ya!!
These are $5200 MSRP. As soon as it leaves that lot, it's $4500. Not sure how they got over 6k lol
LOL. Go have a dealer write one up for you and see.
@@ThreeBikeMike MSRP is MSRP. Finance charges and other fees don't count. Depreciation after a first purchase, is also uncontested and verified by NADA or Kelly blue book. I'm not sure what your saying. I have had one "written up" at the dealer lol
@@gunner4373 I don’t understand - then - why you are writing about what you are writing about. It’s a non-issue. Nobody buying a new one cares that when it leaves the lot it is $4500, unless you are agreeing with me that the used one with 6 miles on it should not have been being sold by this dealer at the MSRP. If that is your point - to agree with what is already obvious, then I get you. If not, then I don’t understand what you are trying to get at. If I am misunderstanding you, then my bad. Thanks for commenting.
@@ThreeBikeMike exactly right. That's exactly what I was saying. Just stating MSRP and depreciation that the first dealer you dealt with should have been taking into consideration.
@@gunner4373 My apologies for misunderstanding.
Nice video, unintentional ASMR ...hahaha
Looked up ASMR and it’s difficult to understand what it means.
these list at 5200! out the door new,,no more than 5700 including all fees and taxes setup etc
Let me know when you can get one for 5700 then I will buy another one.
@@ThreeBikeMike Troy city garage up here in NYS 5200 plus fees around 5700
yep your right,,the damn things are more now!! 6400 just told the dealer to keep it
@@USNVA-yn6cp Some people will buy them at any price, though.
Honda of North Little Rock sells them for MSRP out the door no fee. Ship it and your still cheaper. I've bought 2 bikes from them with 0 fees. TW200 was 4799 out the door and T7 9,999 out the door. Sucks you paid CBR300 rally or KLR price for that
i ride age 67 red dont even hve car ,my bike sr250 yamaha 1982
It's a decent bike.
I enjoyed your video very much!...I had a 1995 xt225 and a 2010xt 230 I believe it was...I enjoyed the bike, but then one day I rode a 2009 Kawasaki KLX 250s, I knew I had to have one....I bought one and now I own a 2019 klx 250...This will probably be my last bike...I live in the Paris, TX area and there is really no trails or dirt roads to ride..I do ride some gravel roads and pave roads. And I have to get on country highways to get to those roads....When we were kids we rode on a lot of dirt roads and some trails...They don't exist around here anymore,...I don't know what area your from in Tex, But there has to be places to ride in somewhere. I would like to ride with you sometime...
I want XT seat height and ground clearance but with WR250R design since XT is too ugly and need liquid cool engine. Also with 300/350 cc. This will be my perfect bike.
Check out the Kawasaki 300 supermoto. That IS pretty nice.
@@ThreeBikeMike I am a Yamaha fan because of my experienced with their bikes and trying to stick with them. Honda could be my second choice if I have to.
@@MrAdam-kp3en I looked at the CRF 300. Too tall. The cost was a little too tall also!
@@ThreeBikeMike Yes, it's still tall. I am expecting from Yamaha T3 or something like that.

Terrible dealer trying to rip you off!
The shame is when they treat an obviously old man as if he is a 21; like I am going to buy on impulse + have gear - boots, pants, jackets, gloves & helmet - financed into the deal too.
ride now is trash and takes advantage of young people. Worst dealership for bikes. They were not doing the other guy any favors at all bro. They are shady AF
They are under new ownership by some corporate entity and I think they are much better now than when I made this video.
