The 2008 MY XT250 carries on the acclaimed heritage of a bike which can do pretty much anything, from urban commuting to longer trips, off-road fun, trail exploration and even light dirt racing. The XT250 gets a new 249cc air-cooled engine for 2008 with redesigned and upgraded components for better efficiency and less maintenance needed.
The frame is new, too, just like the exhaust system, while the Nissin brakes have also been revised for this model year. Road-legal and dirt-worthy, the 2008 MY XT250 is a great all-rounder bike with true dual-sport performance in mind and exceptional useability in a wide variety of scenarios.
