Yamaha DT250 is an enduro or a Dual-sport motorcycle with a Two-stroke engine. The motorcycle was introduced by the Yamaha Motor Company in 1971 and was produced until 1982.
The motorcycle was made for both on-road and off-road. In 1976 Yamaha motorcycle advertisement claimed the bike had torque induction intake, thermal phase shock absorbers and built in oil coolers.[1] The bike also used the monoshock rear suspension which had been successful on Motocross machines.[2] In 1976 the motorcycle was offered for $798.[1]
