The Yamaha SR250 is a single cylinder motorcycle made by Yamaha Motor Company
from 1980 to 1982 for the first generation, and since 2001 for the second
generation. It shares styling with the larger Yamaha SR500. The first generation
had a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) displacement and the second generation was 239 cc
(14.6 cu in).
In 2001, Yamaha released their most recent SR250 due to popular demand for
reliable commuters. This model is modeled after the SR500. Despite engine
capacity, the two bikes are essentially of the same overall design.
