1982 Yamaha XT250 TN review from United States of America
"If you find a good one, buy it!!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
I've had this bike for 7 days, and the turn signal switch is bad, but other than that, it's beautiful.
Absolutely reliable and ready to rock at all times.
General comments?
This is my first bike and it's made me feel as if I've been riding for years.
I found one in awesome condition and it's been great. It kicks over first or second kick EVERY time.
Ideal for beginners and it's surprising where this thing can take you. It loves dirt and steep climbs, and is mild mannered on the street.
