The Yamaha XS250, produced from 1975 to 1981, was a pivotal motorcycle in Yamaha's history, representing the company's entry into the burgeoning lightweight motorcycle market. This air-cooled, two-stroke twin-cylinder machine, with its distinctive parallel twin engine configuration, was designed to be a stylish and affordable entry-level bike for new riders. The XS250 possessed a sleek, minimalist design with a distinctive "Yamaha" badge on the fuel tank, characteristic of the era. Its lightweight construction and nimble handling made it a popular choice for commuting and weekend rides. The XS250 was initially offered in a standard model and a more sporty "Special" version with a chrome-plated fuel tank and a larger, more comfortable seat. Later models, such as the XS250S, featured a lower seat height and a more pronounced "cafe racer" style.

The XS250's performance was impressive for its time, boasting a top speed exceeding 80 mph and a spirited acceleration thanks to the potent, yet fuel-efficient two-stroke engine. The bike was also praised for its reliability and ease of maintenance, making it an attractive option for first-time motorcycle owners. The XS250's popularity was further boosted by its competitive price point, solidifying its position as a key player in the entry-level motorcycle market. While production of the XS250 ceased in 1981, its legacy lives on, with enthusiasts appreciating its classic styling, accessible performance, and enduring reliability. The XS250 serves as a testament to Yamaha's commitment to creating affordable and enjoyable motorcycles for riders of all skill levels, establishing a foundation for the company's continued success in the motorcycle industry.
