The Yamaha DT-1 250 was an absolute game changer when it was released, as it essentially created and dominated the market in the US. In fact, some argue it’s the most significant motorcycle in Yamaha’s history – the initial production run of 12,000 was instantly scooped up, and competitors immediately rushed out their takes on the cheap, reliable dual-sport.
The 250cc single-cylinder engine, combined with knobbies, Ceriani-type forks (which Yamaha called “Enduro-Travel Forks”), and ample clearance all helped to make a bike so popular that it eventually sold nearly 50,000 units a year!
