The Yamaha XT225 Serow 225 has good power from bottom into middle, modern design for now on.

The Yamaha XT225 Serow 225 is a great bike, perfect for a little road work and on the trails. a real workhorse!

I have a 2005 Yamaha XT225. This bike is nothing but trouble. I have starting problems. If you do not ride this bike for 2 to 3 days, it will not start. I also have transmission problems such that it does not shift into neutral when the bike is running.
I bought this bike brand new and have had so many problems.

Yamaha XT225 is light, easy to work on, tough as all hell, cheap on gas and insurance, 6 speed.

Love the bike to death, it does everyhting I'd ever want a bike to do, plus with the increasing gas price its the best thing ever. Koodo's to yamaha for proving the most durable dual purpose of all time.

I bought mine as a green laner but its now my main bike. Great for commuting, riding off road and just doing stuff, and what I really like about it is that its totally managable for me (5'6 F, reasonably fit but with a dodgy R shoulder after an off). And like me, its no spring chicken, so we're well suited!

Excellent fuel economy, corners well in the switchbacks on the asphalt, has greasable shock linkage zerks, very light, adequate power. Go buy one, this is a great beginner bike and has an excellent reputation.

A group of us went out on our trail bikes, The other lads had bigger bike like 400's, They expected me to be embarrassed, It was quite the reverse, I tackled obstacles with ease that they struggled with. Many people think bigger is better but the truth is a light nimble bike like the serow wins hands down.

Love the Yamaha Serow, but hate the dealerships. Can have both because you can do almost all maintainence yourself!

I made my own exhaust which changed the Yamaha Serow's performance considerably.
I use my bike for green laning and enduro's and don't get left behind.
Probably the best genuine trail bike ever made, it copes with anything thrown at it and never breaks down. Runs all day on a tank full of petrol.

High level front mudguard on the Yamaha Serow is useless for most purposes - replaced by Sammy Miller Honda TL125 fork brace/mudguard mount (a little bolthole filing, and fixed to forks with 48mm U-bolt exhaust clamps) and plastic trials mudguard, keeps me clean. Yellow gaiters impossibe to clean and become brittle with age - again Sammy Miller replacements. Took my first Serow around Scotland, including Outer Hebrides - ideal for getting off the road and down across the machair to camp in the d ...

Riding my Yamaha XT225 was my first introduction to the world of motor bikes and I feel that she was the perfect choice for such an endeavour! She enabled me to charge up steep rocky hills, wade my way through sticky mud and to make jumping over small (or not so small) jumps a breeze. She is light weight, compact, reliable and stylish- what more could you possibly want in a bike?

Perfect for an introduction to of road biking. You could go up to a bigger bike having gained comfidence on the serow.

The best enduro bike I've ever owned and I've been riding for over 30 years.

I am 60 years old and was looking for a dual purpose bike that I could put both my feet on the ground when it was stopped and this bike has really fit my needs. It is really fun to ride on the street and the trails. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a light weight bike to ride around town and on the trails.

I got this Yamaha XT225 Serow 225 when I was in Guinea West Africa and a never driven a motorbike with such an easy and powerful feeling on breaky tracks (excuse my broken English, I'm a French speaker and learned English off-road too!). You can ride on sand (abuse accelerator in curves) or rock shaking tracks and really enjoy it without hassle. I'm a bit of a warrior on hot wheels, but with my Serow I was able to ride 300 km of pure tough rural and tropical red west African swamp "roads" a day! ...

I researched the XT225 alot before I bought my bike in May/04. It was a leftover '03 and I think I got a pretty good deal on it. I have had a great time on this bike riding over 4700 km(almost 3000 miles) over pavement, hard packed dirt roads, mud trails, and thru woods, hills and valleys. I am 53 years old, now retired, 5-10 tall and 250 lbs light (ha-ha) and this little bike has hauled my butt over everything. This bike runs excellent all day at 65-80 kmph (40-50 mph) on pavement or gravel roa ...

I bought a new Yamaha XT225 Serow 2252004 and have put over 3,000 miles on it, mostly on the street. I absolutely love it. It is a lightweight, fun to ride, go anywhere dual sport motorcycle with a 6-speed transmission and electric starter. Although it is capable of highway speeds, it is much more comfortable on secondary roads. I've also heard it is a capable off road trail bike. It is not the most powerful motorcycle in the world, but I find it satisfies all of my power needs. Because it i ...
