Yamaha XTZ 250

Introduced in 2006 to replace the XT225, it was an upgrade from the previous XT250, but now with a more aggressive offroad appearance, inspired by the WR250R, although intended for casual commuting riders - thus having lower quality components. It was available in blue & white, black & green/white/red, black & orange, orange, and dark red through its lifespan, with a limited white edition resulted from an unused surplus order by the São Paulo police force. It shares the engine and much of its parts with its street bike counterpart YS 250 Fazer.

Following the success of the 2009 Honda XRE300, Yamaha introduced the Ténéré to fill the empty market niche. Virtually the same as the Lander, it differs in its adventure approach, having a 16L tank instead of 11, with larger fairings; independent chassis-mounted headlight piece with windshield and display panel (leaving the handlebar lighter); the suspension course is a 20 mm shorter in both ends; the seat is sectioned for a more comfortable longer ride to both driver and pillion; 2 headlights, both considerably brighter than Lander's; lower handlebar position; and front fenders closer to the wheel. It was available in white, black, light blue, sand, dark blue, red and grey, with varying graphics.
Its design was heavily influenced by the Japanese/European XT 1200Z Super Ténéré.[3]

Its motard variant, introduced 2008 and discontinued in 2010, due its price being 10% higher than the Lander. It was identical to the Lander, save for minor details. It had plastic front fork suspension protectors instead of full rubber covers, 17" front and rear wheels, thicker sport tires, taller front fender and few other design changes. The available colors were black and orange.
