Yamaha Tricker 250
The Yamaha Tricker 250 has a top speed of 120 km/h (estimated), produces 18 hp and weighs 118 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
A Yamaha Tricker (XG250) foi introduzida em 2004 para o mercado doméstico japonês como uma motocicleta compacta, de estilo moderno, dupla esportiva/inspirada em testes, construída em torno de um motor monocilíndrico de 249 cc. Ele foi projetado para atrair ciclistas urbanos e iniciantes que buscam uma máquina leve e manobrável com uma estética off-road divertida, inspirada na cultura da pilotagem experimental. O Tricker conquistou um culto de seguidores no Japão e em mercados asiáticos selecionados por seu estilo distinto, baixa altura do assento e versatilidade como um corredor urbano com capacidade de trilhas leves.

O que os compradores devem saber
Rock-Solid Engine Reliability
The Tricker 250 uses Yamaha's proven single-cylinder 249cc air-cooled engine, known for exceptional longevity with minimal maintenance. Many owners report 30,000+ km with only basic servicing.
Watch the Carb & Jets
Older models are prone to carburetor clogging if left sitting with stale fuel, causing hard starting and rough idling. Always inspect the carb carefully on used bikes and ask about storage habits.
Strong Resale Value
The Tricker holds its value well in Japan and export markets due to its cult following and versatile supermoto/trials-inspired styling. Low production numbers keep demand consistently higher than supply.

"A coisa mais divertida que você vai ter é ir a lugar nenhum rápido."
Passei três anos e cerca de 18.000 km em um Tricker Gen 1, dividido entre ruas secundárias de Tóquio e estradas de bombeiros em Nagano, e isso realmente me fez sorrir todos os dias. Esse pára-choque de 249 cc não puxa nada impressionante no papel — 14,7 cv é uma piada na rodovia — mas na sujeira ou no tráfego urbano, ele tem esse caráter forte e torqueador que bicicletas maiores não conseguem replicar em baixas velocidades. A altura do assento de 800 mm e o peso de 118 kg significam que você pode jogá-lo como um brinquedo, e as barras largas oferecem uma vantagem que parece quase comicamente fácil em ziguezagues apertados ou ao pular calçadas. Onde ele se desfaz está qualquer coisa acima de 80 km/h sustentada — o motor vibra, o alcance diminui rapidamente com aquele minúsculo tanque e você sentirá cada quilômetro da rodovia em seus pulsos.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"A slow, loveable oddball that rewards the right buyer enormously."
$2,500-$4,500 usedThe Tricker is genuinely charming in a way that's hard to explain until you've ridden one. That 249cc air-cooled single punches out a lazy, torquey character that suits the scrambler-ish styling perfectly. It's not fast — seriously, don't kid yourself — but it rewards smooth riding and feels completely at home on fire roads, gravel tracks, and slow urban commuting. The wide bars and upright position make traffic easy work. Used examples tend to be well-maintained since owners genuinely love these bikes, but watch for tired suspension on anything with serious off-road history. Forks go soft, rear linkage bearings seize if neglected. Chain and sprocket wear is worth checking closely given the low gearing. Parts availability is the real headache — this was Japan-domestic-market focused, so sourcing OEM bits takes patience and money. Budget accordingly. At the right price it's an absolute blast for the right person. Just go in clear-eyed about what it is: a slow, loveable novelty with genuine character rather than a serious tool.
