Great video on the Varg and jealous I’m not getting to ride it!

6:05 Phrasing.

I want to see you go to Patagonia on the XT250 ...... after all it's 2025

Where are you riding?

Not whoops fast, not big jumps, not miles on highway, everything else pretty doable on the mtn goat that's the XT250. Where was that turn track?

Sam is that you?

That’s such a sick bike

I cant wait to get a dirt bike one day hopefully

That’s a sick bike how long have you been riding

People forget the xt250 is a trials bike in street form !

Try to take a small dirt bike over large rocks. That makes since

I thought I was trading up when went from this to a DR650. I want my XT back.

Get a KTM😁.

How tall are you?

I had a 2009 XT250 from brand new and sold it last year. It was a great, quiet, very nimble bike. It was best at just getting out and exploring and taking in the world around you. Definitely not a motocross bike. It was capable of freeway riding which at that point you are wringing its neck, but it never seemed to mind. It loves country roads, forest roads, trails, beaches and commuting around town. It is also very approachable for beginners and for shorter riders.

Electric motorcycle mentioned. Disliked and do not recommend channel submitted.

I went from owning an xt225 for 10 years to a KLX 250 for one year and then a Royal Enfield Himalayan this year. I wonder how you would like a Himalayan in this test. I don't think mine is as capable as my previous bikes but it is more comfortable.

291 lbs. Whew. That is a LOT of weight. Be that as it may, I don't understand why people enjoy "hard" enduro riding on a full sized bike. You'd be better off with a trials bike for that stuff. It's not fun on a bigger bike. At least not for me. I have both a full sized bike and a trials bike. Taking the full sized bike into nasty rocks, etc. is not fun. Taking the trials bike into those situations is. Taking the trials bike onto more normal, faster trails is not fun. They both exist for specific reasons and excel in those areas. Just my humble opinion.

Three words : Big bore kit.

First time i rode an xt 250 was at an msf training for my endorsement. Highly recommend the class. However im 275 lbs at the time and accidentally dumped the clutch. It will get that front wheel up and put you on the ground. 😂. Was a great day.

There's a lot of rocks 🪨

I'm A 71 year old retired geezer that started riding at 10 years of age. Many of my 30 or so motorcycles have been dual sports. Thinking about getting one last bike, and the Xt250 is in my sights. I'm about 5'8% and 200 lbs. I live on the big island of Hawaii south of Hilo. We have lots of bad roads here in the Puna District.

It will did just fine as long as you don't go off the side of the mountain.

The XT will do anything. Just not as fast. You sometimes have to slow down for the suspension. But, unlike the Surrow. You can ride it for several hours of trails on one fill. People say the XT gets 70 miles per gallon. I think it does better on slow trails. 140 miles is nothing when 3rd gear woods riding.

Great video dude! I do light enduro and singles mostly. I’d like to see you do enduro! If you crank the rear spring to push through the rebound quicker it might help, also add some washers to the front fork springs. Lotsa lil things you can do to make it better👍

Would be very interesting to see an XT with a full exhaust, air filter and jetting to suit. Also, re-valve and respring the suspension. Might unlock a sleeper weapon :)

If you wanna loft the XT's front wheel over things or in the whoops you have to fan the clutch. Don't worry, it doesn't mind. :)

I had my xt250 stolen earlier this year and I hope I can get another one sometime

Man, nice I had a XT225 what a blast to ride !

I rode mountain animal trails above the ocean on an Honda 250 it handled the tight trail i felt like an animal or deer trail 😂😮😊

I have one of these and also a Honda 300 Rally, my take on them is the XT is better at every part of riding except for going fast.

I take mine to moto GP. ...ok but seriously it's the best!!

as an experienced rider my xt 250 brings me many smiles as will go about anywhere

Did you ride the Suron up to the ride area?? I bet you did on the XT?? And back.........and rode another 160 miles before a 2 minute fill up. I do own an XT and it certainly has it's limits and advantages. Easiest little bike to ride ever. Easiest to get on and off and, that has major advantages to some people. Not just shorter riders but older riders. Or riders with long term injuries. Not caring about some mickey mouse little track, what can the Suron do better?? And if you riders want to do 10-15 gaps, you can up grade the suspension. Or just buy a better bike that is suited for such play. Oh, the XT is street legal too. It might not win on any ""race"" track but 200 mile days on fun back roads and lunch spots............hard to beat it.

good stuff man. :) i'd love to see some decent jumps! i want to know if stock suspension can handle some 10-15 foot gaps or if i'd have to go for the TTR230 for that. i'd really love to be able to ride it to the trails instead of hauling :)

How much do you weigh?

Love the XT250. It does have its pros and cons, as with all bikes. Thanks for sharing!

This is awesome! Love the beginning!

Really glad you came out to join us! Thanks for sharing your experience.

You don't look nearly as big on these as you do the Surron you currently have.

You actually don't look so tall on that bike!
